Having caught a few makos off La Jolla in my old Whaler, I will have nothing to do with one out of a kayak!
Someplace in my office I've got a small bottle with a tooth in it that I pulled out of the hull of my boat... |

I see alot of guys geared up for shark fishing and with the reports of a few makos being caught they think is going to be the same battle as a thresher. It's a 100x more dangerous and mako are not the timid fish eaters that would rather get away from you without confrontation. They will shorten the distance between them and your yak very fast, come to color still green as fuck then be completely unpredictable on the surface. Don't risk out. Be prepaired for a very bad outcome if ypu do

Makos are wild jumpers when hooked
They get pissed and can come right at you with their mouth wide open...Jim posted a you tube video awhile back of one going crazy that will show why it is not a good idea to try to catch on on a yak..

I can second those stories, the one time I inadvertently caught a small mako he came right back at me, eyeballing me and chomping continuously. He made several runs at me too!

plus, how do you plan to target them? Get a chum slick going? I'm sure other yakers will appreciate that. Recipe for disaster
