Massive catch
Massive catch – 500-pound shark caught off coast of New Jersey
Pat Salvo, Joe "Proline" and Frank Pomponio had an awesome day sharking today. They managed to bring in this 510# Thresher after what they said was a grueling 3 hour plus fight. Congratulations guys....one hell of a fish.

Re: Massive catch
Impressive and dangerous catch from a boat of that size given the tail on the thresher. Got a chuckle out of the pic where they are holding the threshers jaws open in the classic “shark pose” pic. If you have seen the jaws on a thresher, you will understand the chuckle.

Re: Massive catch
Didn’t see the pic but they do have small “jaws”
Congratulations on a great catch

Re: Massive catch
Big girl for sure. It's all over NJ.com, etc. Certainly a dangerous sized whiptail to deal with boatside. When they're that big I'm a fan of parting the line and watching her swim away. Give me a #150-200 class thresher any day of the week for the grill. Otherwise, go make me some more threshers big girls LoL...

Re: Massive catch
Was fortunate enough to fish on a buddies boat a few years ago , 25 foot Grady.... Being a newbee to shark fishing I was not impressed with the fight (250 lb.) or the quality of the meat from a thresher.... Regardless, a fish of that size is an accomplishment..... I believe Billy Borgman ( ex mate from the Mad Gaffer ) won a tourney with a Thresher over 1000 lbs. about 7 years ago... Congrats on an amazing catch.
