Underwater thresher shark video

This is one of four I caught on this day, of the 7 total I saw hooked up.

None of the sharks were killed.

After reviewing this video in slow motion, It looks like the shark might have been tail hooked. It's kind of hard to tell.

It was a dead mac pinned to a scrambled egg iron, so I think either he bumped it and then tail smacked, which hooked him or... he took the bait and the mac came off leaving the iron in his mouth. It broke off after 20 minutes so it's hard to say. It was 65# hollow core straight to the iron, so a break is unlikely unless it was in his mouth.

Oh well. I'll never know

Enjoy

After 7 secs, the video goes black for the rest of the time on my screen?

That could be true, 6.75 seconds sounds about right before a camera fails from saltwater. Lol

very nice! were those tail slaps that it kept doing? because it wasnt hitting the bait with its tail most of the time. maybe it needs to work on accuracy.
