Warning! Picture of dead fish
Thresher shark was on my bucket list and since we have had a lot of them caught lately I decided to go out and specifically target them. Me and a
friend teamed up on this one. My deck hand and my neighbors were happy to have some fresh fish and I am looking up "swordfish" recipes as the grill
heats up...

Thanks Russ. We were drift fishing live and dead bait about 5 miles off La Ribera. We were using Ballyhoo and Cabalito both weighted and flylined. We
decided to stick to the plan and catch a thresher or nothing. We missed one but got this one to stick. Both of them were on dead Cabalito.

Nice fish. What kind of tackle does it take to land something like that?

We weren't chumming but we filleted the Cabalitto about half way up from the tail to make them more interesting. Both bites were on dead bait fished
deep (200' or so).

I snagged one once with a jig just under its side fin. Took me for a 20 minute hall in my 18ft Bayrunner. I had a small baitcaster reel and a light
weight rod. I was aiming for bottom fish off the reef. I didn't know what I had till I saw color. It was fun watching the aerial jumping and it also
did a body slam against the transom. Put a big bruise on it's side. When I got it to the boat, I released it back to the wild. The hook was in his arm
pit sort of!! It looked to be around 80 lbs. That was a fun day off the beach in Carlsbad (Ponto Beach).
Happy Trails....

A action shot of one of these guys, a fun fish for sure.
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.

David,
Nice catch....how did you cook it?
I have eaten some kind of baby shark years ago in Puerto san Angel, Oaxaca....delicious as tacos.....tried to cook some at home once and didn't do a
good job.
Don't believe everything you think....

Shark, almost any kind can be excellent table fare.
One thing to consider with shark is the high urea content.
To keep the meat pristine and without any taste of uric acid, which is in the flesh after death, (this is why folks like or dislike shark) the fish
should be headed and gutted, then hung by it's tail and bled out immediately.
