Floating baskets are nice, so are the HookSet Stringers. I wade a lot of deep cuts and have been dragged and pulled by sharks on countless occasions. I will not tie anything on my person just not worth it. I also have a 15' long stringer so I can avoid any run ins with Jaws Jr.

When they go on my stringer they are headed for the frying pan so string'em and fry'em, any which way ya like anglers ... they are headed to the same spot.

Not all of us are meat-haulers, some of us are tournament fishermen...

So what, there are plenty of "tournament fishereman" that are also meat haulers.

Doesn't matter.

They are all anglers just having FUN no matter which way they string their fish.

And the OP's original question was how to keep them ALIVE on a stringer, not what you do with the fish you string...

thru the eyeballz works best for me:)

Yeah, .. I hear ya Wilson BIDDY ... a lasso around the tail for those ol' feisty reds during the annual Redfish Rodeo.

how would you put a shark on a stringer or what can i do to keep it for eating while still fishing? and how do i do it while fishing from a tall peir?

Saw this in SF ...don't get bit!

thats like holding a tiger by the tail! LOL does look cool.

I would use a 15-25ft stinger with the float on it and hook them under the lip. I would much rather the shark just take the stringer and leave then have them try to fight me over the fish in the basket.
