not a yellow but just as much fun

started the day early with a 430am launch. worked my way out to the usual spot and eventually found 3 greenbacks. 2 candybar sized and one monster mac about 14 inches long. after only seeing 4 fsh landed and having no luck i decided to head north and look for threshers. I made ny way to the NW corner of the reserve and reriged y bait rod wit the monster mac. after only about 15 mn my reel starts to sing that beautiful sound ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I quickly grab my rod and put the reel in gear and start to wind down. once i feel solid preasure I pull back on the circlehook and it's fish on as a nice thresher comes flying out of the water. after about a 45 min battle i got the T up to color. then as im about to grab the tail it lights up and just about jumps on my lap. then jiveg me a little love tap and the fight resumes. 10 minutes later Iget it to olor again and this time the game is over and the T is chillen on my lap. a cupple quick on the water shots and back to the beach. after landing and a few more quick snap shots we load up the yaks and head home with a nice T

















good luck out there guys.

Beautiful fish! If I was going to keep one, I would like it to be that size. Is the tail any good to eat anyone?

Congratulations on the fish. I saw you out there...shorts are fine for this weather but barefoot is pretty painful.

Did you even bleed it??

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

So which thresher do you keep? The small one that tastes great and isn't of breeding age yet..............or the large one that is a breeding machine? Just wondering.
