I caught a small 2' seven gill a couple of years ago at LJ. Nasty lil sucker tried to bite the crap out of me when i was removing the hook. I wouldn't want to mess with a big one - or another small one agaim for that matter. They're pretty easy to identify - grey with a long tail and the dorsal fin is positioned back toward the tail. There have been a lot of big soupfin around lately, but the ones I've caught and seen have been a lot more brown than grey.

7 gills are in LJ but they are ususally deeper especialy in the summer. 7 gills are kinda brownish tan with spots, with a broad short head, and a long tail. 7s look like slugs but they can get determined at times. The spear guys in LJ occationaly end up going mano a mano with them over speared WSB. If they were grey they might have been soup fins. We don't have too many sharks in so cal that fit your discription. Mike

When you say "grey" and "serious girth", I would guess they were juvenile Great Whites instead of Soupfin... just to throw out an exciting possibility.
Personally I would not consider Soupfins to be "thick" sharks. The San Diego coast, especially San Onofre is a prime hangout spot for juvenile Great Whites. Last edited by addicted2sp33d; 09-10-2012 at 11:07 AM. |
