Appreciate the detailed feedback. I feel strongly about not wasting anything I pull out of the ocean so I want to know all about it and make sure I have enough mouths to feed before keeping it. Of course seeing the thrashing mouth full of teeth up close makes the decision to cut the line pretty easy for sake of safety.

They did put up a fun fight and I hooked all of them pretty much in the same spot in about 80 ft of water, at the bottom, just east of the condos so must have been schooling there.

So if one finds themselves landing a shark, it seems like controlling that head would be paramount, would a gaff shot under the jaw work or would that just piss them off? I think it would be wise to have another set of hands to assist and a camera rolling to capture the comedy of severed fingers, should that play out.

Finally, is shark meat freezable or does that just bring out the urea/ammonia taste?

Thanks again!
