This is a touchy subject regarding the laws behind protected species of sharks and how these laws are perceived and as an advocate of that I am here to defend the catch and release of these three fish. All of the following pictures are of sharks caught in federal waters, all were caught on hook and line, and all have a minimum fork length over 54 inches. None of them were harvested, taken into possession, landed, purchased, sold, or exchanged. However, they were boated, taken pictures of, and quickly released (all sharks survived). If there is any kind of discrepancy I will be glad to make sense out of any unclear notions.
Now here are the recent amazing catches for your enjoyment.
She caught it all by herself.
Two 15 year olds made quick work out of this giant.

Nice catches mark, looks like the kids had a blast
Nice job on the boat Mark. You still working in Haulover?
Awesome!
looks great!
I've always wanted one of those threshers bad! We see huge ones bout twice a year at the piers. That hammer looks like a scalloped hammer. Which one fought the best? Did the thresher jump?

I got tail whipped by a nurse a couple weeks ago, bruise is finally fading. Couldn't imagine getting hit by one of those thresher tails !!
Adrian, I am still working at Haulover for now.
Earnie, both sharks put up a good fight but the thresher fought a lot better. No, the big eye threshers generally don't jump like the commons do... that was a scalloped.
Just an average fisherman.
Awesome catch! How did you go about fishing for them? were you trolling, chumming, one big bait? what kinda reel where you using? if you dont mind me asking.
