texas shark fishing - a simple game decides who gets a HUGE fish

How do you settle who gets the first bite of the day?
Shark fishing in South Texas. We strap the bait of the day, cownose stingray into the back of the kayak and paddle it out as far as we can given the rough conditions. Luckily, a huge beast ventures close enough to shore pick up our bait and do battle.
PS. If you haven't given ThresherFishing a subscribe and follow on instagram make sure to! Cooper is due for a monster shark

For the king for the king for the sake of skyrim

[@anthonymartinez3084]

Lol I see your a cultured man

[@YakinwithJack]

Land based shark fishing is a TON of work must dragging gear kayaking baits out. It’s definitely taxing to get the tax man but it’s all worth it in the end. Great video brother 🤙🏾

[@andrewsflyfishing9578]

Nice Shark! Surf shark fishing is definitely a lot of work but it pays off when you finally connect!

[@42701texasman]

What mile marker were you at? On a side note, y'all had me until the coors light. 😂😂

[@palomesallc1808]

Thank you for the latest vid Jeff! Good stuff! My family and I will be down there in 10 days, fishing of course. Hope to run into you guys!

[@YakMotley]

Awesome video man!

[@larrytischler8769]

Paddling out baits does not make one hungry or tired. Not a bit. I Never got a bull. I got a tiger, 11 ft 0 in. Sand tiger 10 ft 8 in. Lemon 8 ft 6 in. Hammer about 8 foot. A bull almost got me when I was reviving a bonito. It just missed. It's head was 2.5 x as wide as that one. I was as puckering you know what for a long time. Your bull was a beauty. The first one I ever saw came out of the water with a tarpon crosswise in its mouth. The tarpon was on the line of Ira Loveday who landed the 5 ft 10 in fish on a 4/0 with the help of Wilson Pipes on gaff with two helpers pulling it away from the bullshark which had its tail. I was only 17 but the backdrop of the first part of sunrise behind that epic battle was forever burned into my memory of tarpon fishing on Bob Hall pier. That was 60 years ago. Usually it was the guys with 209's that got their big tarpon chomped.

Love seeing a fishing channel in my hometown hope to see u fishing.

[@Nary_and_Lynn]

That was AWESOME!!!!! Wish there was more footage of the handling after the shark was caught. Caught a glimpse of Thresher appearing to reach into the sharks mouth....CRAZY!!!

[@nashb7301]

One stop pumping it so fast two keep tension on the line at all times

[@fisch1139]

A couple of Shiner Bocks would of been great with dinner. Congrats 👍🏼

[@brycehickman6841]

[@ricardocastillo3799]

Finally another video!

[@brentnanita3939]

I watch all Texas channels. Always excited at what is in the gulf.. I will be doing some 500 yard drops in 2020 @ Crystal Beach, Jamaca Beach and Surfside. Hope to see you guys out there.

[@larrymcmakin3429]

Nice catch! I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@vamostexasfishing]

thanks!

[@joeynegrete6803]

Hell of a catch guys keep up the good vids

[@trhenryvlogs9638]

Lady fish is a good bait for sharks too, they’re soft bait but if you catch a good size one definitely think about putting it out there. Nice video man. 🎣

[@scotthull2141]

nice catch Jeffro! congratulations

[@YAKKinTV]

That was a amazing Jeff congratulation on that one!!

[@vamostexasfishing]

thank you!

[@taramccaskill6312]

This is older video I'm just seeing but I hope someone else pointed out that with those big animals off the shoreline, walk backwards then reel while walking yourself forward. Saves all your muscles so you can keep fishing and not pull. A muscle or tire out too soon.

[@mrwolf1859]

My name is Jeff!! Man it’s good to see you back on the water bro, very nice shark congrats. Keep killin’em and stay safe out there.

[@jessietovar9921]

try the area of beach around the Mayan Princess for nice specks.. first gut when waves are calm...

[@gsppuffer]

look into the Milwaukee rechargeable headlamp its as bright as the sun and a must for night fishing.It runs about 55 bucks but worth every penny

[@MattsSaltwaterFishing]

Jeff is Dragonborn!

[@bigalfishin4495]

[@jamesharrell7159]

[@njh73006]

How big was the bull?

[@andrewevans9014]

What brand is the multicolor depth line?

[@willhutton5110]

What beach is this? been looking for a good fishing beach thats not flooded with people.

[@isaaccastillo7812]

Nice video! These videos would be better if you show more focus on rigging the bait, showing what kind of weight you’re using, and dehooking the fish!

[@jessejames1871]

Welcome back je fa fa

[@patricknugent3158]

dude go offshore and catch bigger fishes. yall are right there. also ditch that webber "grill" and build a fire in the sand. much love and keep up the videos they're dope. fun to watch, good work. tight lines,

[@iamatt]

A smoky fire is the last thing I like when you spend a couple of nights on the sand. Everything stinks and feel just that much more grimier. At least I do. haha

[@tedcontreras9729]

Baddass 👍👍👍👍

[@vinceh5163]

Which beach is that?

[@1984TIMY]

i like fishing and hunting i like to learn the proper way to shark fishing and to lean what kind of gear and equipment and bait i need to use for it , i am located in Missouri city tx , if there is any chance can you able to help me and can i come for a fishing with you .. looking forward ..Timy Thomas

[@gsppuffer]

can't drag sharks backwards to revive them it actually kills them

[@iamatt]

JP Luby?

[@rickyanderson4189]

You have an oceans east shirt on do you live near VB????

[@smcewen7]

Nice!

[@johnniesurfs]

Great job Jeff. Hope to see y'all guys down the beach some day.

[@vamostexasfishing]

[@muckaroundfishing746]

Think use should go check out team mad mullet they will show you how to shark fish

[@anthonyharper5409]

Oceans east VB?

[@terryturner3101]

Is this North Padre? I'm looking for less crowded places to fish when I come down.

[@vamostexasfishing]

Aye it is

[@davidlee5214]

Hey Jeff! Is your car awd? I have an Toyota Rav 4 Suv 2wd. I'm afraid to drive on Galveston beach

[@josephweatherford296]

David Lee if u drive on the beach hit it running and don't let off until u get on solid sand

[@TheRamonperez]

Nice catch what kind of gear did you use (rod and reel)

[@vamostexasfishing]

Okuma Makaira 50W and the rod was a 7 ft Penn (not really sure of rod, it's Cooper's rig)

[@samolivarez3546]

What part of TX is this? I try shark fishing in freeport/surfside and never have any luck.

[@iamatt]

Surfside sucks brother. Dead zone.

[@dossfishing3821]

Next time drop that whole cownose Ray and when you make your leader use a thousand pound cable 2000 pound mono with a 20/0 size hook and those are baby reels compared to my 130's

[@saltwaterrook4638]

Lmao Florida boys over compensating. 700lb wire, 700lb mono and 80wides have landed 1000lb sharks. Damn near all of us down here run straight 130JB braid. Some use 200lb. Lmao and you're talking 2000lb mono. I'm sure you meant 200... but still not needed.

[@larrytischler8769]

@@saltwaterrook4638 You obviously never fished in the high energy Texas surf. We used 3/32" 7x7 strand cable and 16/0 to 20/0 hooks with a castnet swivel on top. If the surf was up, sometimes we used 1/8 in cable on the hooks and up 6 to 8 ft. to keep it from twisting up and breaking. Wire is useless because of kinks. The sharp shells cut mono. We put a float on the top swivel. Often the shell cuts the line during a fight. Some people fight out of their truck bed to keep the line off the bottom.

[@iamatt]

@@saltwaterrook4638 Those florida guys hate it when TX pull makos off of their beaches. And also the fact we can drive on ours hahah. 130TRX??? Come on dude

[@howardtaylor2454]

What part of TX beach

[@millerslanding2310]

Dang!

[@dossfishing3821]

And stop pumping the real like that find it more slowly or you're most likely to pull hook

[@Jman-ky5yt]

We should go fishing sometime

[@torress1976]

What did u use for bait

[@vamostexasfishing]

cownose ray

[@seancallinan5352]

Did I just hear skyrim.......?

[@thenewgandhi2765]

You guys smash mad beers out there?

[@vamostexasfishing]
