Hi all. I was fishing in the Queen Charlotte Islands on the weekend and as a 10 lb. coho salmon was being landed, it was attacked by a shark right beside the boat. The captain of our boat had never seen a shark in those waters and was stumped as to what kind it might have been. It was approximately 5-6 feet long, with a skinny body, and a long pointed tip on the top of its tail. It appeared to be rather bluish in colour but that might have just been the water. This was sighted near Rennell Sound on the West coast of the Queen Charlottes.
As a follow-up, we managed to land the salmon and then promptly through a herring-baited hook back into the water. The shark took it, but without a wire leader, it snapped the line immediately. Anybody know what kind of shark this might have been? Just wondering...
