Rule #1
Let your wife see this post and get the green light for an upgrade from a 14' kayak to a 25' center console! :D

Unbelievable experience, and well handled guys! While I'm sure you would rather that never happen again, I think you will grow to appreciate the experience (if you can't tell I'm a shark lover).

Stay safe everyone!

It's time to fish!

I'm glad Ryan is ok and that we can all learn from this.

^ 10 X's on that. Wife and I go almost every weekend and always offshore trolling for whatever in a tandem outback. We have seen what we thought was at least a 15' GW going in circles in front of us as we came out of a patch of fog. I was just getting ready to drop a monster greenback hooked to wire leader to hopefully catch a Thresher when I spotted this enormous fin right in front of me. We moved about a mile away before dropping that greenback!

1. If there is a first attack, its time for everyone to come in.

You guys have big brass ones (or are another level of loco) if there was an attack that day already and you kept going at it!

First attack

The first attack was over 10 miles north from were we were fishing. For us the first attack only came within less then a 100 yards from us.

I would suggest not to use wire leader...

If you get hooked to a more dangerous Mako with this rig it won't last but a few seconds, so it's definitely the best way to rig for Threshers.

Thanks for the post

Is there any prior post of proper radio usage? I searched for one but was not able to find any good ones.

Radios

We had radios on the water with that day and were key in contacting our friends in a nearby boat.
