Thresher Shark off the southwest

Has anyone else encountered a thresher shark off the southwest?
I hooked one not long ago it was over 3 meters long and launched 2 meters out of the water. The stella 20000 was smoking and had no chance of stopping the big boy.

hooked heaps when we where young blokes. Busso jetty and eaglebay/ swan wreck site used to be where we got them.

Lots
Caught heaps of them in Geographe bay and down as far as Hamelin. One was about 100 metres north of the pro moorings at Quindalup in about 6-7 metres of water.

Swan wreck site
Did a few figure 8s over the wreck in the shark boat and had a fisheries inspector waiting at Quindalup to see me when we arrived. Spies on the hill at Eagle Bay reported us for fishing when all we were doing was looking at the shape on the sounder.
Anyway, the inspector went over the boat from top to bottom and didn't find a thing, we'd been returning from setting the gear and had nothing on board, he apologised and told us of the many reports that came in and he had to check them out.

Sorry should have made it
Sorry should have made it more plain for the baggers out there. Cant post anything these days without precious Nevilles getting up you.
Read the post properly. I said we hooked heaps years ago when a young bloke. That was 20 years or more ago.
I put Swan wreck site as a general area .
