Thresher shark - Dana point
45 min to paddle back in. It was squirting blood on me the entire way from slitting the gills. Definitely felt small and vulnerable out there by myself with blood absolutely everywhere. Paddled hard to get back. My friend was with me but had headed in just before I hooked into this. Coolest experience so far in my 14 months of kayak fishing. Such an exciting day. Second Thresher of the season so I'm done keepin em this year. No scale but it was well over 100. Me and my buddy guessed about 120 lbs. After picking up a few things of similar weight etc I'd say it's a close guess. A helluva lotta meat. The filets in pic aren't even half of it. |

Haha Ya that'll keep em away. Oh and sorry for the stone beer I didn't even notice it in the pic until I posted. I know that's a sensitive subject for some people on here...

You win the Manly Man award... at least until we get out to Tuna land and someone hauls in a 100 lb tuna. |

Sensitive about beer in a pic? Who? Why? The only thing I would be sensitive about is why you didn't bring me any. Hahaha jk

Nice catch, those guys are quite the adrenaline rush when they go balistic along side the kayak!

Haha luckily no. it did trash around quite a bit when I grabbed the tail but I just held on and lifted it outta the water which helped a bit. It sure did not want to go easily though
