Bet if you had targeted Threshers then you would have caught Tuna, right!

Most things made to float are made to float at the surface. If the shark took the gaff down too far the floatation material may have been crushed or a water proof air chamber may have failed. Threshers are just tough to handle. Mike

Yeah... tail slapped by a thresher with 2 or 3 sets of treble hooks sounds like a disaster.
