an hour for a little pup like that? I would have been to embarrassed to post that vid LOL. Why would anyone fish that area with tackle as light as that?

Awesome shark and an entertaining video. When you pulled it up out of the water onto your lap I had to cross my legs and cringed. Definitely an eye opener on the effort to harvest a shark.

I thought it was gonna be a 80 - 100 lb range at least? good thing you were on boat and not a 28 " wide kayak. did you add a few more items to the rails lately? well, everyone else is getting in on bashing. good thing I only watched a few minutes of vid.

. congrats .

😂😂😂😂😂that was like watching Archie bunker . The tshark did more circles than a Indy 500 . I was waiting for that rod to break like 5 time holding it mid span and no freespool🤣. And the reel dunks had me crying towards the end . What a emotional rollercoaster

Now that was a GREAT video! Not pretty, but entertaining. And the hero lands his big fish in the end despite everything. Way to go!

I've never fished for Thresher and always wondered how you would go about landing one from a 'yak. Now I know, sorta.

CONGRATS!

I thought I had a lot of shit on my kayak but but you win!
It's a good thing it wasn't 17 foot....

Why you should dunk reels into saltwater.

Congrats on the T-Shark and thanks for sharing. They are an absolute blast to fight and one of the best table fares, IMHO. The belly meat is really excellent!

I have caught a bunch sharks over the years, but have only harvested one myself, to date. Here is that experience

Its not as easy as it may look, especially in my case. I took a larger Thresher on a 27.5˝ wide kayak.

Some suggestions have been mentioned, but here is some nice info of Thresher sharks that may be helpful for all.

Know the difference between male vs female (claspers), how to minimize the fight for release and how to handle.

Cheers!
