Dogman Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Hell I caught one last year that was only about 2 feet long and I almost shat my pants. I can't imagine what that would be like. I think I'd just cut the line and run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would kill to catch one though amazing fish. Do gaffs harm the shark for release? Or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogman Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Usually if you gaff a fish you are going to keep it. Black tip shark is very good table fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
