Bronze whaler shark

[CapeFish]

Didn't measure it most probably around 10ft and under 200kg I think the Australian record is about 378kg

Thats big! Do you have  length to weight charts there? We measure precaudal

Interesting Shark. I have never heard of them in the Western Atlantic although they may be here. Probably misidentified if caught. Long tail, not as long as a Thresher but still pretty large. How is their edibility? I know Threshers aren't bad as table fare, not as Good as Mako  but still not bad.

Capfish that shark I didn't measure it but the first big shark I caught measure at 9ft2in to the fork . I did the cool thing back then and hung it up for a photo but since then released them all.That shark was caught on the same rod and reel. I have eaten small bronze whalers they taste ok.

Capfish just looked at the charts and some thing don't add up to me this photo in a magazine from 1987 shows a bronze whaler shark that was 10ft long girth 7ft2in and weighted 221kg or 486lbs

Think thats why we use precaudal because the tales are so variable. Darn big bronzies those they definitely get much bigger by you. I have eaten small ones as well if you soak the meat in saltwater for a while its good. Apparently you guys are eating all our bronzies and soupfins as fish fingers.  We will have to cream you at rugby again to get you back

Thanks Ted that's me,thanks capfish now that chart makes more sense when you don't measure the tail I will take a tape measure whith me next time.
