If you want to eat one, stick it in the head with the gaff, stab and cut the gills with a knife, and let it bleed out pretty good before you try to bring it in the boat. Their teeth are no joke and they're super strong when they want to be. It's a really good idea to bleed and gut sharks as soon as possible, and cutting out that big old liver has the salutary effect of taking the fight right out of them!
If it's too big to go in the boat, throw a line around the tail and drag it back to shore.
Those tope sharks are OK eating, but not as a good as a thresher or mako. Sharks are best butchered into steaks and thrown on the grill. If it has any ammonia stink, you can soak the meat in a weak acid solution to get the stench out. Eat a smaller class shark sometime to see if you like it. It's a TON of work and if you don't end up liking it, you'll feel obligated to eat all this meat you killed and don't enjoy.
