I admit I believe in the karma aspect too, which is silly, but all anglers are entitled to superstitions...

Personally I have no interest in catching a thresher shark or mako. If I do unintentionally hook one though I’d like to learn the best course of action to ensure a successful release. My knowledge of sharks is pretty basic- When a sharks dies the urea in their blood converts to ammonia making the meat taste like ammonia and smell like urine. Nasty!

I can’t find much online on the subject. and I’d like to better understand their importance to the ecosystem and fishery. If anyone can share info on the subject I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Josh
