nice shark

Now you have to club 7 seals to make up for the shark, I have extra clubs if you need one.

Wow...could've been more of a "blast" with a release. I mean really...how much meat came off that "pup"? Just saying...

Decent size! If I knew then what I know now I would of never have killed the one I did. It is very thrilling to catch a large fish from a kayak ,without a doubt, but the release is much...much more satisfying! Try it next time. That thresher I killed five yrs. ago still wakes me up at nite! Will the haunting ever go away?. Anyway, congrats.......

Congrats on the catch! You took a legal fish, the people giving you grief should direct their whining at the DFG. We get regulations from the DFG, not from anonymous posters on the internet.

I think this guy is stiring the pot.. all I'm reading is opinions here. Its lawful to kill alot of animals doesn't mean you have to.

And your feelings towards killing your small thresher are based on your opinions. There are plenty of theories to suggest that taking smaller sharks is better than taking a breeder out of the ecosystem. I'm not saying he's right, but I'm not saying you're right either.

Cradle them in your arms and sing soft lullabies. Actually, if that doesn't work just try wrapping them up tight in a blankie.

Or...?

nice lil thresh bro, I know EXACTLY how it feels to get the first thresher it was ToOO fun! For you idiots out there, unless you are not keeping your YT or WSB or calicos ETC, why are you telling people to release? How much fish can a kayaker haul compared to a ship netting Billions of pounds of shark? Do you watch Tv, discovery channel etc? Thats my opinion
