Orcas have a liking for young Thrashers, but yes other sharks are quite happy to eat each other even if its to just reduce competition,
your correct on the more vertical, possible due to the nature of their propulsion...

I've seen small threshers tailwalk a few times, although the tailwalk action was vertical rather than 45 degrees. It looked like they were being chased by a bigger shark.

forgot to mention both Marlin and Makos can and will often just keep jumping for the hell of it,
you get to know them well and pick the difference straight off once you have seen quite a few,
sometimes you only need to catch the end of the jump, see the splash and a small bit of body/tail/head and you can pick which fish it is straight off,
the more time at sea you spend the more often you will see them,
Sun Fish are another that jump but that is normally early hours in the morning and the splash can be huge,
but that is another story, keep these sightings locked in you head and next time you see are fish jumping you may get a better glimpse of at and ID it then bring back fro memory your other fish, compare and analyze, you may sort it out one day what you saw and be confident in the future know which it is....

Well it wasn't doing Aerobics like the top picture lethal, more like this http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oNj6EUqN6-A   And having seen a 1m hammerhead basking off stanmore last week that was very lean too so it sounds like it was prob a young mako. There were two of them I think as one jumped out and tail walked and 20m from that one a second later it happened again and then 20 seconds or so later it happened at the first spot again. Was cool to see. ]]> Sun, 11 Jan 2015 20:39:00 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=106628&PID=1520964&title=tail-walking#1520964 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=106628&PID=1520914&title=tail-walking#1520914 Author: cirrus

Shortbill spearfish. Unlikely but with warm water anything can turn up almost anywhere
