Da Thresh Kine. (Non-Kayak Report)
 

After months & months of hooking & fighting these beautiful sea creatures, I finally got the chance to land one. And man, AINT SHE A BEAUT?!

Thanks to my girl for getting me a new fishing hat. The moment I hooked up, the wind died off, and the sun was beaming down at 91°, so my new hat kept me safe from those powerful sun rays.

Fight time: 40mins.
Rod & Reel setup: CalStar 800MH, Avet MXJ w/30lb mono + 100lb leader.
Bait: Live Sardine.
Species: 7'0" EST.60lbs.
Location: Pacific Ocean.

I haven't fished there in ages. How deep is it?

Sweet first pier T.

Good job angel cat

that would be a blast on the pier, ok I gotta say the hat is definitely da bomb
nice report and pics, I like the edited versions as well...:luxhello:

Talk about adding insult to injury. That sharks gets hooked and killed and the last thing he sees is that hat. Whoa' thats like a little smily face on the front of the bullet that kills you. Mike

Thanks fellas.

Hey Jorge, your edited version is better than my report!

Nice catch. Way to use everything you got... That shark looked up from in the water and thought it was going to the happiest place on earth.... SURPRISE!
:doh:

I have seen several Threshers of the same size caught in that area. More than once on the pier.
Congrats.
