The males have elongated "claspers" extending from the base of their pelvic fins. Females do not.

This is a male (the arrow points to the claspers):

My friends and I keep one T per year. For the group. Everyone gets all they need. Anymore is just wasteful. If the guy needs to catch more, he should take some pics of the shark and release it. Most of that third fish will either go to market illegally, or wasted. Either ending is not very noble for a beast that great.
