Solid day with solid peeps! Thanks for putting us on the fish man and as usual @terrafirmatackle got the job done! Land based or skiff based @terrafirmatackle for all you’ll need
I want my first thresher too :/
@fishtagram287 looks a little shorter than 54” ?
@owenroberge yeahhhh…. just a tad shy of the legal limit guy….
@owenroberge There is no legal limit here in California. And in fact, harvesting juveniles, and releasing adults (as we did this day) is the proper management practice for Thresher Sharks
@terrafirmatackle Yes that is why there’s a federal minimum size instead of a maximum size…. because you’re supposed to keep the juveniles…
@owenroberge Alot of those regulations are in place to protect against deliberate targeting of small fish by commercial entities. If youre interested I can forward you fisheries biology/stock assessment data for our local population to set your mind at ease.
@terrafirmatackle commercial fisheries have their own regulations to prevent that. I’m just happy this is a west coast opinion, you can keep it.
