Here are some pictures of the thresher we caught last Saturday 07/07/07. We got into the dock about 9:00, so the pictures are dark. The fish jumped on @ 11:00 AM and we fought him 4 hours on a Penn Int 50 with 80 # test line. Finally we killed him around 3:00 pm. We couldn't pull him into the boat so we towed him back to Montauk. 35 miles is a long way @ 8 knots.The measurements and weight of the shark were 557 lbs, 102" fork length, 94" tail length.. The boat's name is "KEEPER" and is a 26' Fortier. |
