Looks like a yt is jumping behind you in the first pic. Or maybe a great white fin??

Not only did you harvest a baby female.....it doesn't even look like you bled it. What a waste!!!!
I know you think your cool (by the way are you sure YOU caught this one?) posting sharks but threshers are stupid (hungry) to the point of being annoying, and i'm sure most people reading this have hooked into one in the last couple weeks. If your not sure why threshers are important to our fisheries research it, or better yet PM me.

Karma = I hope you surf....go eat a big thresher steak, then paddle out to blacks and try and catch a wave.

Nothing wrong with debating the ethics in keeping sharks but please leave out the personal attacks and name calling, it gets ugly fast.

This guy was following regulations. You should direct your energy at the DFG and their regulations.

You've got me interested, please share why we should not take threshers and why the DFG should change the regulations. I didn't find the answer with a quick google search. I'd rather trust the DFG regulations than some scallywag on the internet. Start another thread with a compelling argument and you might have an impact.

Hope you catch some good surf and chill a little.

Good job on the catch. Perfect size to make sure the meat is consumed. I want one, but I've always made eye contact with every one I catch and end up petting and letting them swim away. I'm a sucker.

I admit I believe in the karma aspect too, which is silly, but all anglers are entitled to superstitions...

Personally I have no interest in catching a thresher shark or mako. If I do unintentionally hook one though I’d like to learn the best course of action to ensure a successful release. My knowledge of sharks is pretty basic- When a sharks dies the urea in their blood converts to ammonia making the meat taste like ammonia and smell like urine. Nasty!

I can’t find much online on the subject. and I’d like to better understand their importance to the ecosystem and fishery. If anyone can share info on the subject I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Josh
