Thresher gear - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've only ever caught them on mono - but then thats all I use. Old school. I think the real question is the gear you need once you catch one. If I'm gonna keep one, which is rare, I have large game gaff (you'll need the leverage), k-bar knife to bleed the gills with relatively easy cuts, and a 4ft length nylon chord in a noose to slip over the tail and drag er' around till it dies. Chances are you'll needs some bungees to strap it to your deck and keep it from sliding over the rails, it'll take up most of the space on your yak... Catching a T is the easy part.
