Thankfully the water has been too clean for threshers for most of the summer up off dana. They havent been missed, by me anyway.

Hell yeah! Nice pics. That's what makes our sport so fun and exciting.
Ive had plenty of "cut" lines from different toothy creatures. Most of the time it is when I allowed the line to go slack. While the lines we use have great pulling strength they get cut with ease by sharp teeth.
I was able to land my T on Saturday because it was hooked perfectly in the corner of its mouth.
Some times I had them just come up easy and relaxed but sometimes they just explode. The one from Saturday jumped a few times including right next to me and missed my kayak by less than a foot and got me with its tail LOL.
See you OTW.
