    sal

    y catch crab flounders and and big 5ft sand sharks

  • Any size mackerel will work no matter how big or small it is!

  • i want to catch a baby thresher like 4 ft wat do u think i shounld use ??

  • Use a trolley rig!

  • I understand you use the trolley rig and all but what are you using to keep your bait In mid water? Bobber? Balloon?

  • With a bobber bro!!!

  • The best time to fish for them is summer!!!,,,,I hear that they taste great but I personally don't eat fish at all I just love catching them,,,, I donate most of the fish that I catch,,,,"peace always"...

  • Thresher shark taste good? How do they taste like? And when is the best time to fish for them? I Don't usually eat sharks.. Actually never.

  • Did you use an Earthworm?

  • I use either whole sardine or mackerel for thresher sharks,,,,(live when possible)

  • Hey nice sharks man, I'm a beginner shark fisher my self and I was wondering when you use "dead" bait how do u deal with the crabs? Right now I'm constantly changing baits 30min cuz of crabs chewing my fish?

  • Right on man,,,THANKS!!!,,,,Well on this video I was using a trolley rig and I don't have to worry about crabs because my rig is mid water "but" when I fish in the bay for sharks I bottom fish and sometimes the crabs get me too!!!,,,,What I do is put big pieces of bait so that it take the crabs longer to eat my bait because there's not much that you really can do to stop those darn crabs,,,,Your doing the right thing by checking your bait often,,,,"Tight Lines"...

  • Hey bro where did you buy your gaff? I fish in Venice beach pier and I've seen a few guys snag some threshers with their gaff but I cant find any local tackle shops that sell them

  • Well my gaffs are home made by a good friend of mine "but" I have seen some for sale on eBay and you can also google PIER ROPE GAFF then you'll find some for sale on line,,,,I'm very sure you'll find some that way!!!

  • @SharkMan650 thank u greatly apprecaiated is there any type or way of doing the hook? like a tying style?

  • Hey what's up!!!,,,,Well my leader is 80 lbs test and has 3 sliding 1/2 oz. weights on my leader and it is about 12 ft. long with a swivel in the middle of the leader so that the sliding weights stay in the middle of the leader,,,And I also use a short wire leader connected to the hook so that the sharks don't cut my line with there teeth,,as they have done in the past,,,,"that's pretty much my leader set up",,,,,"Peace"...

  • "Haahaahaa",,,,,"Yea" it was a random person "but it was a Man "not" a Lady,,,,,"Best Regards"...

  • wow! fantastic job landing the Thresher that size, especially at Pacifica. gotta thank u because this video takes me back to the 80's when i was a teenager, and when salmon was plentiful out at Pacifica Pier. I still remember a day when a school of Thresher's passed through and a good 10-12 were landed that day, but none were close to the size of yours. kudos again, man.

  • Hey thanks bro for the "thumbs up" on my video,,,,It's pretty fun fishing for these thresher sharks,,,,they fight really good,,,,"Yea" I remember in the 80's to when everybody was catching Salmon,,,,I wish that they were still around like they were then,,,,"Hopefully someday?",,,,But until that day comes I'll keep getting a work out with these thresher sharks,,,"haahaa",,,,,,,Take care and thanks again!!! "Peace Always"...

  • it looks like that yellow righting says ugly stik. if it is thats a great commercial for one.

  • "No bro",,,,,It says "BEEFSTICK",,,,,I like to use them for shark fishing because they work great and they don't cost a lot either! Maybe "Daiwa" should use it for a commercial,,,,"haha",,,,,"take care"...

  • what type of rig do you use for threshers, i don't really know how to rig for thresher

  • Well what I do is I cast out my line" first" with a spider weight and I anchor my weight in the sand,,,,,Then I slide down my leader with the float,,,,My leader is about 12 ft. long with a floater on it.,,,,Some people call my leader a "Trolley Rig",,,,,You can also google "Trolley Rig" for more info,,,,Best Regards...

  • exelent catch but why did u have to kill it? just to say i caught it

  • Hey thanks man for the "thumbs up",,,,,And we kept this one to eat because it was big enough,,,,,I keep one to eat every once in a while but release 95% of the sharks that I catch,,,,,,,"Peace Always"...

  • Once again! Dude! You rock!!!! I need to make it out to pacifica one of these days!! Congrats!!! Thats awesome!!!!

  • """Thanks my brother""",,,,And "yea" you should go to Pacifica some time when you get the chance,,,,,,Maybe I'll be there when you go and if I am come and say what's up!!! "Peace Always"...

  • Nice Thresher that's a challenge from a high pier aswell

  • holy bleep awesome man. grats on your catch. the biggest one my friend and I ever caught was a small 1 footer baby.

  • "Hey thanks bro for the thumbs up on my catch",,,,,This was the "biggest" Thresher Shark ever landed on the Pacifica Pier history so far,,,,,It's was such a blast fighting and catching it!!!

  • do u not have vid of the 3rd one u caught in 1 day?

  • I wish,,,,"but" unfortunately the battery went dead in my video camera when I was fighting it,,,,The only thing that I was able to do before I let it go was take a few pictures of it...

  • @SharkMan650 ah that sucks... well congratz on the record setter

  • Hey "thanks bro"...

  • hey what the rig you use ? and do u use braided line?

  • "Hey what's up",,,,My leader is 80 lbs test and has 3 sliding 1/2 oz. weights on my leader and it is about 12 ft. long with a swivel in the middle of the leader so that the sliding weights stay in the middle of the leader,,,And I also use a short wire leader connected to the hook so that the sharks don't cut my line with there teeth,,as they have done in the past,,,,"that's pretty much my leader set up",,,,And my fishing line is 100 lbs. Power Pro Braided,. Good luck when you go fishing!

  • thanks ima go try that now

  • "My Pleasure bro"...

  • is pillar point the one near barbra shrimp shack? with the small pier? if it is i been there and only caught 3 red rock keepers in 4 hours... any other spots? hopefully im there nexx time u strike!! quick questions also whats the can we keep female crabs that aren't dugness and what are the legal sizes for dugeness and red rock?

  • Hey there,,,,I think your talking about the little pier inside the harbor next to the boat ramps?,,,,Where I'm talking about is on the other side at that rock wall near where people launch there boats,,,,I walk half way out then cast on the "outside" of the harbor not the inside,,,,And the dungeness crabs have to be 5 3/4 from side to side,,,,But I'm not sure of the size limit for rock crabs because I don't keep them,,,,,,"Best Regards"...

  • NICE CATCH1! i used to go there every weeek to crab but havent hit in awhile any suggestions for bait setup and location? i use a regular ring net and one of those box traps! and used squid,

  • "Thanks Man",,,,,It was hella fun to catch,,,,,,And about you going crabbing there,,,,"The crab bite is still happening but it has slowed down since last month",,,,,What I do when go crabbing is I use my rod and reel with a snare,,, "aka" (box trap) and squid or mackerel for bait,,,,,You should also try the rock wall in Pillar Point habor,,,,,I hope you catch,,,,"Good luck" when you decide to go,,,,,,"Peace"...

  • Nice one dude. However, saw a guy catch one at least 12 feet here in saudi arabia. Weighed in at 300lbs!

  • "Thank my friend",,,,And "damm",,,,I hope one day a 12 ft. thresher will bite on my line "but" until then I'm happy with this 7 1/2 footer,,,,Maybe in a few years I'll buy a boat again and fish in deeper waters where the big ones are at,,,,,The bigger thresher sharks mainly stay in deeper water here in northern California and the pier that I caught them on is only around 40 ft. deep,,,,"but' ya never know,,,,maybe I'll get a bigger one that is just passing by the pier,,,,"haahaa",,,,,"take care"

  • Good fish dude been awhile since I've seen a thresher that size caught from a pier.

  • Thanks Bro...

  • Jplicit just because its a cheap rod doesn't mean you cant catch a 7 footer :]

  • Yes, I know, I get it, I dont need you to telling me. Do you have that Daiwa Beef Stick to know?

  • yes i do. i have 3 beef sticks (2 11 footer, and 1 12footer) I'm the guy that's helping him gaff the fish. its Medium Heavy, 17-40lbs ranges from 25-30 bucks.

  • @megook1301 That's awesome. I'm looking forward to getting the 12 footer with maybe, the Shimano baitrunner. As of now, I only have a 7 ft Ugly Stik Tiger with a Penn 321gti that I use for sturgeon and also, caught a few bat rays with it.

  • nice man how long did it take to get a bite from it?

  • "Well that just depends",,,,,I went "three months" without even getting a bite,,,,then all of a sudden they appeared for a short period of time,,,and then just like that,,,,they were gone???,,,,,,,I wish I knew a better answer to give you but I don't,,,,,,but I will tell you that a some people fished for them for years and never even caught one,,,,,I think it was just a "lucky streak" that I was in at the time,,,,,"Best Regards"...

  • awsome, just awsome i love it

  • "Right on bro",,,,,I'm glad you like this video,,,,It was a blast catching it!!!

  • Man, I really gotta get that Beef Stick a try!! It's so cheap that I didnt even bother to look at it. Now, you've changed my mind, I want to buy one now. HAHA! Good catch bro!!

  • Hey thanks bro for the "thumbs up" on this video,,,,,,And "Yes",,,the good thing about my Beef stick Rods is that there "not" expensive and at the same time there hella strong rods,,,,,,,And I don't worry about scratching them,,,,"haahaaha",,,,,,,,"Pea­ce"...

  • yee the biggest thresher

  • "What's up bro",,,,,,I gotta stay that you were a "very big" help in me landing this shark,,"thanks to your Master gaffing skills",,,,Your the "master gaffer" and I couldn't of done it without your help!!!,,,,,Can't wait until we catch some more sharks & other fishes!!!,,,,,,"Peace"...
