We caught this small 4-5 foot Porbeagle shark off Stellwagen Bank and we released it. We were hoping for Giant Bluefin Tuna…
You can keep and eat these. Mako, Thresher and Porbeagle are good eating. It was a bit small, so we figured we would let him go and grow this time.
Apparently the small ones are the best eating but check the changing regulations and learn about them before keeping any.

Then we caught a Dogfish / Sandshark. These are basically a nuisance. The English use them for fish and chips. They have spines on their fin in the back that can cause infections, so steer clear.
He made a rude comment about my choice of colors in my lobstering outfit so we gave him a warning and threw him back.

Nice shark, John! Next time it will be a tuna, I’m sure.

Yup. That’s the plan. Say a prayer to Saint Anthony we find em and catch em. Some tuna just get lost and we need to give them a free one way flight to Japan:)
