We couldn't get all the way out to the fingers for makos yesterday and decided to setup at 15 miles for shark/thresher. We were about to get ready to pack up and the deep far rod goes off. 1 hour 45 minutes later, the two man crew of my father and landed this thresher. He wasn't too happy I forgot the fighting belts...
First big catch on our new boat, 3070 pursuit! Thank god we had a "bigger boat".
Figures he hit on the only single speed reel we had out.
I think around 275-300 lbs looking at other pictures?
