370 Pound Thresher Shark Video
 
Video tells the story. Headed out with three of my friends. It was my buddys first time on a big shark and he snapped the rod 20 minutes into the fight. Took three hours to get boatside. Enjoy the video

Gaff man almost lost an eye the first time around. What does he do second time around...leans right into the tail again. Oy.

Salt I know we'll get shit for saying so but I agree with you. And I'm not a tree huger who is anti fishing but sharks have been decimated over the years. They are trophy fish in need of protection. Catching a fish like this is a privilege , take a picture and let the big girl go. I guarantee on average a high percentage of the steaks you get from these fish are eventually tossed. These trophy fish deserve a better fate than being hung up by their tails for bragging rights. The last few years it seems everyone is targeting threshers, won't be long before they're gone as well.

It's getting ridiculous. I have no affiliation to Johnny nor capt. Sal. Give the kid a break. He made a mistake....it's behind him. There is not one of you idiots that would have released that awesome catch. It is also exceptional to eat. I think we are here to enjoy fishing, not criticize.

Awesome video!!! Awesome Shark!!! Way to go Johnny!!!

When myself and Mikey got ours last year we shot it in the head with a 12 gage and were never happier! An amazing fishing memory was created on this day! I'm still not sure how we got the 15 foot Thresher on the boat with only 2 of us! It's definitely a task with a light crew! The meat on this Shark is delicious! I must've ate 50 lbs of it last year, lol!!! Some people have different ways of creating memories! "LIVE AND LET LIVE"

Kudos to the kid and his crew for getting the Shark of a lifetime!!!:D
