At last the Threshershark in flight,once in a life time shot!
Taken by a fellow fisherman from his kayak keep in mine he's being towed the
rod in one hand the camera in the other and somehow gets this picture!!!! took place just off the beach in Newport Bch Calif.
The fisherman's handle is Vincentek9 SC Surffishing

Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.
I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.

I always considered "flight" more of an effort born of freedom rather than desperation.

WTH ?
What the heck is a guy sitting in a little ol kayak going to do with a huge thresher shark that is towing him around....? Just seems kinda crazy to
me!?!?!?
Its all just stuff and some numbers.
A day spent sailing isn\'t deducted from one\'s life.
Peace, Love, and Music

Like all large sharks, threshers have a low fecundity, so are highly vulnerable to overfishing. Other than for its meat, the sharks are hunted for
their liver oil, skin (for leather), and their fins, for use in shark-fin soup.
They do not appear to be a threat to humans, although some divers have been hit with the upper tail lobe. A dubious account of a fisherman being
decapitated by a tail swipe as the shark breached has been reported.
Thresher sharks are classified as prized gamefish in the United States and South Africa. Common thresher sharks are the target of a popular
recreational fishery off Baja, Mexico. Thresher sharks are managed in some areas for their value as both a recreational sport fish and commercial
species.
Conservation
All three thresher shark species have been recently listed as vulnerable to extinction by the World Conservation Union (IUCN).
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

Holy cow, how did he subdue that thing.
All in all a pity. He could have cut the line at the end.
A 2nd rate fisherman. One who places his own pleasure over the health of a species. He must have known the plight of the sharks. Make that a 3rd rate
fisherman.
Thumbs up for the experience. Thumbs down for the fisherman.
P.S. Yes, it's an incredible shot. One I have witnessed at 16 and still remember. Huntington flats, half day boat, 1964.
