Get him to share some recipes. I tried cooking one one time, and, although I am a damn good ex-professional cook, I couldn't make it not taste like pee.

I'll ask him. I think the flavor you experienced is due to shark sweat. When you fight the shark it sweats internally, that gives off an ammonia flavor if not allowed to be released. I usually don't gaff Leopards but just swing them into the kayak. I then put them on a game clip and stick them over the side, they're usually pretty docile by then and just cruise along the side of the kayak. This allows the shark to process the 'sweat' out of it's system. At least that's what I do, I've heard of other methods too but haven't tried any of them.
