ALBANY, N.Y. -- New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is catching criticism from conservationists for reeling in a 154.5-pound thresher shark off Long Island.
The Democrat tweeted a picture of his catch Sunday.
Cuomo's office notes he was legally permitted to keep the shark. But several social media users still criticized the decision.
Shark Research Institute director Marie Levine says Monday that threshers are considered vulnerable, a conservation status just below endangered. She says that sport fishing isn't a leading shark killer but that releasing the fish would have been preferable.
Levine says New York under Cuomo has taken strides to conserve sharks.
Cuomo's brother, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, is also pictured in the photo. Earlier this month, he posted an Instagram photo of a 9-foot hammerhead the brothers caught and released.

I don't care if he keeps it if there is some legitimate food use for the greater part of the fish. I don't know about threshers in the Atlantic but most Pacific coast sharks are inedible due to mercury build up in the meat. It isn't recommended to eat any over 60cm in length. I will use smaller mud sharks for bait so I'm not buying/storing herring, the salmon seem to like it.

Lotsa Good Eats!

Shark meat needs some careful handling but like all fish when prepared correctly is wonderful.

Unlike you I've visited Trinidad & Tobago and we even killed a Shark one day-a Hammerhead as linked-Note that I am not an internet desk jockey like you.

We didn't eat the Hammerhead though it was donated to feed the funeral party of a local dignitary/pioneer.

Those in the know are aware of the Vancouver Island made Salmon jig in the mouth of this Dusky Shark I caught in a remote archipelago in the South Pacific-didn't like killing it but the Captain gave it to the natives for some political consideration so I suppose it's all good

Where's the sharkbait when fins are cut off and fish fed to the sea?

Works just as well as cut-plug herring when you slice it up. Makes great crab bait too. Not that I would know anything from 22 years on the Island or a lifetime of salmon fishing. You just go ahead and be right if it makes yo feel better.

I notice the hammerhead has been finned. Good on ya, that's classy

The fins were cut off so he would fit into the fishbox-no one there eats Shark fin they'd laugh @ you for suggesting it.

As anyone who cooks knows Shark Fin is used in soup to add texture there is no discernable flavour.

Classic pull-it-out-of-your-nether-regions post from the usual suspect-you have never posted a thing here about your Salmon catches because there are none and the idea that you are somehow catching Salmon on cut plug Dogfish will get you laughed off Sportfishingbc.com in an instant.

Finning is illegal Billy boy...even to fit it in a cooler. Nice excuse though.

Do you need a translator or some reading lessons?

Sharkbait - as in tree hugger, greenie, environmentalist. Clue might have been found in "fed to the sea" ... as in thrown back, discarded, wasted.

Post had nothing to do with the post steering you're working on. Better work on that trolling ... or Grade IV reading comprehension.

Actually what does sport fishing B.C. have to do with dog fish . No self respecting sporty would target bullheads . That being said there are a couple of highly successful shark fishers out of the south island .
Jaun de Fuca is prime shark bait .
