Thresher Conservation Debate - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

FISHIONADO · 10-17-2010, 09:40 AM

Thanks for the post Jim, I really appreciate discussing this because I'm honestly still trying to form my own informed opinion.

How about someone like me who never goes after fish bigger than I can catch on my kayak locally? I have no interest in 100lb fish or 200lb fish. I wouldn't be able to consume a 100lb+ fish in a reasonable manner, seems those should go to a fish market where they will get consumed quickly.

A smaller thresher would get fully respected, meaning it would get fully consumed.

I haven't taken one, and only had to release a couple. I don't care for shark myself but I've been prepared to consume one if it was by-catch and couldn't be released healthy.
