Late January Thresher - La Jolla - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

ashmoz · 01-29-2012, 09:26 PM

Three bros shared the fun of bringing in an ~80lb Thresher shark on Saturday, Jan 28th.

Caught by: big bro (Bigmozi) - AGAIN!!?!

Pulled in by: me & mid bro (AryMoz)
Filmed by: me & mid bro
Edited by: big bro

How & where: Carolina rigged live sardine with 2oz weight in ~90ft water. Fish was caught around 9:00am and took about 1 hour to land. Headed back in right after and we didn't tie the fish onto my bro's yak, thinking Bigmozi wouldn't flip since he hadn't done that for over 2 years. Naaah, Of course he flips and fish falls from his yak into the surf. Luckily he gets back up and the first thing he grabs is the fish... Quite funny, we think.

I don't blame him, fighting that thing for 1 hour and paddling it back could be a bitch... Good times with good people, all caught on tape:

misconception - hate to be a buzz-kill, but the fish wasn't released -

I now see why you guys thought it was released - the underwater shot at the end makes it seem like we released it...

Cheers

BBQ time at your house.

I can smell the steaks grillin all the way here!

Congrats on an incredible fish.

Just make sure you release all the YT and WSB........oh and Halibut too. I don't know why anyone would keep these fish?

Who needs MLPA to screw with us when we do such as a good job of it ourselves.

Good weather,good fishin.

I'll play GOOD cop to the bad cop.remember this T when you hook the next one and consider that Apex preditor numbers are more easily affected by removing just a few from the populace also living on T steaks will give you severe ED from all the mercury...:
