sturgeon snare

i just read the article on targeting sturgeon from your yak and was checking out the snare. I wonder if that would work for shark too

I would think so but for leopards its much simpler to just grab them by hand behind the head and near the tail. They really don't have teeth that will inflict much damage. Maybe for some other more 'toothy' sharks???

we were on a trip monday and caught 2 sevengills, one of which was 5 1/2'. I now have scatch marks on my yak were it turned around and bit my yak when i grabbed its tail to rope it, right after that it attacked someones paddle, this thing was pissed. The second one almost got my arm. all this was with 2 of us. The guy that hooked them could only have one hand free and it took both mine to rope the tail. I'm thinking of if your ever alone.
