Confessions of a Killer
Quote:
 First off, big thanks to Matt, who swore he'd get me on a T one day, even if he had to sell his first born. Woke up at 3am to get to the shores at a decent hour. Met Andrew and John at the launch- Cool Peeps.  Had a very ungraceful, cold and wet launch to wake me up. Skipped making bait and went straight out. Dropped a frozen squid on a dropper loop to the bottom and started the Yo-Yo game. On the second drop my Tady gets slammed about ten feet below the boat, on the drop. It hit so hard I got an immediate birds nest. As I was pulling out line I notice that my line is slack. As I notice that, out of the corner of my eye I see and hear a gray SPLASH behind me. I reel up the slack and get an immediate After purposely (and unsuccessfully) chasing Thresher sharks for so long, I thought it was ironic that I hooked one almost right after I had given up hope of ever catching one, and made my peace with myself about it.  I had him to the boat the first time after about a minute. I saw he was mouth-hooked for an instant, before he took off deep into the abyss, almost pulling me over. The second time I got him near the boat he just stayed about ten feet below the yak, and seemed pretty content there. When I thought he was tired enough I brought him up, grabbed my jig, and dispatched him fairly easy.  The entire fight only lasted about 15 minutes. I put on a quick tail rope and peddled over to some ex-yakers on a PB to get my pic taken.  I think he was a perfect size. Not too big, but big enough to vacuum seal 54 individual size portions.  I will cook some up tonight, but you guys can feel free to kick me down with your best T- Shark recipes. And of course, the video with the bumping soundtrack… Last edited by steveooo; 12-28-2008 at 11:35 PM. |

Nice!
background music, is just... I just cooked some up for the dinner from last spring... Just tossed in lemon pepper, grilled with some olive oil. It was delicious! Ts are hard to screw up on the grill, they cook real easy.

My favorite part was you knifing the shark as the beautiful music played. I laughed out loud (I don't LOL).
Congrats!
