OK don't know what i'm doing on this Shark post I'm a Tuna Fisherman !! But Here is a thresher from sunday. 50 fathoms, wt.58.9 degrees, bait herring. fish is about 73" (without whip) Measured on side of waterline. The second pic. is crappy because he/she rolled with head straight down. (my superior photography) . If the line looks big, it is 300#. . BTW he was released.

Grats on the thresher.
I am not sure i could release a thresher.It is the best tasting large fish i have ever had.It makes Mako,tuna and swordfish taste like bunker.
I know if we had boated the thresher we hooked up with he would be in my freezer.

Hey Mike, your bro feels the same way !! Smile One reason is I don't need a 12 ft. shark on board when i'm Tuna fishing. Another is I don't have a HMS permit. Smile Smile . BTW I have never tried Thresher, maybe i would get a permit !! Wink Very Happy

No we don't catch many threshers. Just once in a while along with Mako's, Fako mako's (porbeagles) and mostly Blue dogs. The Tuna fishing Sucks!!! the Chum fisheries is in the toilet. Dogfish everywhere. Can't keep a bait in the water even without Chummin. Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad If you hunt Giants your screwed. On the up side there are a lot of 3 ft. and 4 ft. fish around with a few 5 ft. thrown in, So you must have guessed the answer about hook up. NO, NOTHING, ZIP, NADA. Sorry i'm loosing it here !!!! Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Very Happy DAM DOGS !!!!
