Do you have a lot of your own gear you travel with? The reel size and line weight would be crazy i assume for the big sharks and bluefin since you wouldn't be able to chase them being on shore.

pretty much all my own gear. Youd be amazed how big of a fish you can haul in on todays big spinning reels. I've caught 250-300+ pound sharks and rays on my Kastking Kapstan Elite 9000 spinning reel with 50lb test, and the reel has a peak 55lb drag, but you cant hold onto it when its almost maxed out, and I do have much bigger and heavier gear I leave down in Florida.

Knot of choice?! Double Palomar?

Knot of choice?! Double Palomar?

All different by application, FG knot on saltwater line to line top shots for sharks since the FG has the lowest profile for casting thru guides, regular Palomar to lures and some hooks, Albright from braid to mono/fluro leaders, Snell or uni to circle hooks to pull in line with the shank....

I'll take a great line and the proper knowledge of knot usage over a decent/Uber expensive rod and reel combo any day, Ty @MSA

I'd love to do a thresher and mako on a lure without trolling. I'd keep ONE mako for the jaws/steaks; some for me and the rest to be sold to a market/restaurant. I'd probably give it away for the jaws cut out and a couple steaks. Fun Fact: Mako and swordfish are indistinguishable after being cooked.

That is all:

I guess threshers swat lures with their tail first, often resulting in a tail snag and having to fight them in the hard way.

Thresher meat is amazing, never had mako

Geez MSA... Go big or go home eh? You must have deep pockets. To think I was set to go hit the Amazon for Peacock bass but you sir got that beat. Just dont get nicked by a north dakota rattler if your still messing with them.

Well said/shit. After last Shark Week, or WTFE: I was convinced threshers were "endangered": I believe your admonition correct and this may be an option.

I don't know the available sizes: Black bass (sunfish) are currently the epicenter of ALL techniques.

If not outlawed/allowed: A BASS tournament will be won with a flyrod:

You can keep 2 threshers per day in California, no size limit.

I plan to try around Imperial beach...just not sure when, Africa keeps draining all my PTO

Travels cheap with no guides or women. I dont think 3 weeks in Africa costs me more than 4 grand.

Ill always be messing with snakes, cancer will probly kill me long before a snake does
