100lb Thresher



My brother and I paddled out of La jolla this morning around 5:00am. After taking a couple good ones to the chest i paddled straight out passed the reserve booye line. I started trolling a 10 inch mackerl colored rapala on 25lb test north toward the pier. About 5 min into paddeling my reel starts screaming line and my kayak dose a 180. i set the hook the fish is on. Then my line gose limp i wasnt sure if i lost it or not. Then out of no where about 10 feet in front of my kayak the shark topeedos completly out of the water. Immeaditly knowing i hooked a thresher. i fought the shark for about an hour just going in circles. then it started running in toward the beach it took me into the surf. i had to make a quick decision to go in or go out. i put it in free spool and paddled into the beach. i grabed my rod while riding a wave and jumped out in waist deep water. then i just started cranking him in as fast as i could. Grabed his tail and drug it on the beach. the bait was hooked in his mouth. it was a long haul back to the truck from the pier. 1st thresher ill release the rest.

Well done,,not sure if i'd want to fish for sharks from a kayak, make a mistake and it would be a very high price to pay (an arm and a leg ,lol)

Take it easy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Nice T and great 2nd post

Just a legality question for the masses that I have often wondered about. If you legally hook a fish outside the reserve, and then get towed into the reserve, is it still legal?

I would say no. You would be fishing in the reserve.

Someone might state since you landed it on the beach it doens't count for landing in on a kayak. Who cares. Finishing it by draging it on the beach is dramatic! I love it.

I've always wondered the same thing. Pretty sure if DFG was around you'd be sitting on a fat fine and confiscated equipment. Years ago, I hooked into something big (WSB or YT?) that pulled me into the reserve and I busted out the knife and cut the line - didn't want to take any chances.

Nice catch btw...

And yet this last weekend I saw 2 kayaks trolling right through the middle of the reserve. I chased them down... yes in my F'N Dock... and they pretended like they did not understand english, yet they understood when I said DFG!

Idiots need to have their yaks confiscated!
