Since its getting to be that time of year when we start seeing more Theshers I wanted to ask a few questions now before I have one on my line.
I have only caught pups that have been successfully released but this year Id like to catch a bigger model to bring home.

My questions are:

Knowing that I have a keeper, what is the proper technique once I get it to the side of my kayak?

How do I quickly kill the shark?

Do I bleed the shark and if so what is the best way to do so?

What do I need to do to prepare it for transport on my kayak?

After getting it home do I ice it for 24 hours or take the knife to it immediately?

What are some of your favorite ways to prepare it?

Any and all other info that would help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,
Mike
