370 Pound Thresher Shark Video

[Blackfish Doug]

It's a free country if you don't like fishing for sharks keep it to yourself. He did nothing illegal & I'm sure none of that fish went to waste there are plenty of people out there lining the docks looking for a sampling of shark steaks even the food banks takes them. Great Job Johnny keep the video's coming & don't let the negative posts get to you.

Hey Saltlife, didn't you just report on a trip on the Tagged Fish where you posed with a Cod and talked about the tons of fish that was kept by all? You seem to be fine on what fish you keep and kill, but are fast to judge others on what they do. Like there is such an abundance of wormy Jersey Cod, why didnt you let that one go? John didn't waste the fish, as anyone who was there cleaning fish, was treated to a nice bagful. Thanks John, the fish was delicious. There are too many jealous people out there.

Never said he wasted the fish. I simply said shark fishing should be catch and release. Learn to read. And yeah i killed ONE ten pound cod and your going to compare that to a 370 pound fish that has been around for over 50 years

Anyways im done with this thread. Everyone knows i dont shark fish and i dont promote it. Plain and Simple. Take it as it is. You dont like it.. TOOO BAD

Why shouldn't cod, ling, or fluke be catch and release? Especially cod, which is heavily fished commercially? Hypocrite.

He's got a valid point. Cod is the poster child for over fishing.

Just sayin'

I love people who want to impose there will on other people. Now he is a bad guy because he killed a legal shark. A 370 lb thresher is way over the 54 inch state and federal shark size limit and he only had one on the boat so I really dont see the problem.Rather then attack him say congrats, or simply just dont say anything.
Congratulations guys great job and an awesome fish

haters gonna hate!!!!I would have killed it and cut it into nice steaks.go get another one john,this time call me and share a few steaks.
