Cool Good to meeet you

Steve,
That was a hairy launch. My car said that the air temp was 35 degrees. Thanks for the advice, I am always stoked to learn from the masters. I hope that you get that yellow that you have been chasing.

Real Nice . . . Another great video and a good example of "how-to-land a T" A few weeks back I caught one for my first kayak fish and wasn't prepared to bring it on board, you handled it like a pro. What a rush.

Thanks for sharing the quality video's and posts.

First off, big thanks to Matt, who swore he'd get me on a T one day, even if he had to sell his first born.
Woke up at 3am to get to the shores at a decent hour. Met Andrew and John at the launch- Cool Peeps. Had a very ungraceful, cold and wet launch to wake me up. Skipped making bait and went straight out. Dropped a frozen squid on a dropper loop to the bottom and started the Yo-Yo game. On the second drop my Tady gets slammed about ten feet below the boat, on the drop. It hit so hard I got an immediate birds nest. As I was pulling out line I notice that my line is slack. As I notice that, out of the corner of my eye I see and hear a gray SPLASH behind me. I reel up the slack and get an immediate
After purposely (and unsuccessfully) chasing Thresher sharks for so long, I thought it was ironic that I hooked one almost right after I had given up hope of ever catching one, and made my peace with myself about it.

I had him to the boat the first time after about a minute. I saw he was mouth-hooked for an instant, before he took off deep into the abyss, almost pulling me over. The second time I got him near the boat he just stayed about ten feet below the yak, and seemed pretty content there.
When I thought he was tired enough I brought him up, grabbed my jig, and dispatched him fairly easy. The entire fight only lasted about 15 minutes. I put on a quick tail rope and peddled over to some ex-yakers on a PB to get my pic taken.





I think he was a perfect size. Not too big, but big enough to vacuum seal 54 individual size portions.



I will cook some up tonight, but you guys can feel free to kick me down with your best T- Shark recipes.


And of course, the video with the bumping soundtrack…

Yes. I cut the gills then went for the tail rope. I think some guys do that in reverse order, but I had it mouth hooked with the jig in pretty solid, so I was able to get to the gills. He bled an obscene amount, enough that I was worried about other sharks but, it did dispatch him pretty quickly.

Steveooo-

Congrats on your T! Perfect eating size. I'm still waiting for my first yak T.

I don't know if you or others have posted it before, but I would really like to see your mount setup for the video camera. Your videos are sick.

If you get a chance, maybe you can make a post showing your rigging method. Or if you already posted it before, maybe a link...
