I don't fish for sharks, but of course hook a few each year. Like Murray said, cut the line as close as you can while feeling safe. Which is like 1' for a big leopard. But 10' for a little mako. Some times you can grab the line and break them off with a hard yank.

There have been lots of soup fins (tope) around lately. They're not aggressive but they are strong with a big enough mouth n teeth to do some harm. Stay on the side of safety cause a fish hook doesn't last long in a shark. Mike
