I give em a good look and say, "yep, thats a shark alright" right before lettin em go......

You can always tail-loop em and drag em backwards for a little bit, just drown em.

assuming you are trying to keep a well worn out mako in the 150+ range flying gaff makes it safer, then shoot it then tail rope it, then if it don't move try to boat it real careful, 5 gallon bucket over the head, assume it will try to bite you thru the bucket after 2 hours.

or snap a photo & cut the leader
