About 2 hours later it surface right besides the 16ft boat we were on, but instead of pulling out the gaffs l pulled out a knife to cut the line......This thing was as big as the boat, at least. I remeber its eyes the size of an orange looking at me.
We never photographed those fish, but here are a couple photos of much smaller sharks we have caught and kept for a feed....or two.
