They vary in size, of course, but I watched a shark fishing tournament on OLN or ESPN Outdoor or something, and they were catching blues and threshers, and a thresher can take your head off with its tail if you aren't careful.

If I remember correctly, one boat in the tourney caught a huge thresher and they wound up tying it to the boat and dragging it back.

LOL, going out on a chartered fishing trip in one of those boats, and being out there where the water is sooo-ooo-oooo deep is terrifying to me. In fact, it is one of the only things I am really scared of. Not a cruise ship, but anything smaller than that.

I didn't even know there were sharks whose tails could behead you. Sheesh. Great. Nope, never going deep-sea fishing
