Nice rods....
fishr1989, on your website. I saw pics of some sharks.
They were cut on top of the head?
Why is that done? Does it kill them faster?
Does it bleed them out faster?
Nice Boat.
Thanks, Fonz
The cut severs the spinal cord so they are no longer a danger to the crew, and after a cut in the belly, will keep the hear beating long enough for them to pump out all their blood. It's the best way to kill them, rather than the usual gun to the head, but will not work if going for a record, as it's considered "lancing" the fish.
It does kill them very fast, and is best done with a sharp fillet knife.
