Thanks for reminding everyone why you should NOT target these things.

Representatives from the department of Fish and Wildlife were at the landing. The 5-foot-long mako easily outran the 60-pound scale that was available so they estimated the fish to weigh around 100 pounds. The 31-year-old Lorber has been fishing since he was a child, but this experience was something he’ll never forget.

Is there a possibility that the fish weighed 62lbs?

Was this in LA Jolla yesterday??

Think we got it Thursday morning around 7 am.

Saw a gaffed shark thrashing up against a kyak but not an attack. Mike

Lol screw that.

I'm surprised it calmed down just a few seconds after it was gaffed

They usually stay ballistic much longer than that

It was a good 45 minute battle after the gaff.

That sounds more like it! How did you finally dispatch her?

Dive knife through the spine. Finally did the trick.

Caught a small Mako last summer and it immediately ran straight at my kayak. Got it boat-side, pulled the hook and released it. What a mouth full of teeth! Guaranteed you, if I caught one anywhere near the size of yours, I'd cut it off straight away. I've heard stories of them jumping 12 feet into the air to catch a bird. Absolutely psycho looking eyes too.

Wow and nice beard

Silbaugh4liberty · 07-25-2015, 08:30 PM

Sweet! Save the jaws!

Blabelfish · 07-26-2015, 09:39 AM

That could have been his leg.

Daiwadude · 07-26-2015, 12:04 PM

Don't worry I know taekwondo, side kick to his dome would've put him out ..

Billy V · 07-26-2015, 01:13 PM

Considering the epic Bluefin/Yellowfin/Yellowtail fishing going on right now within La Jolla Shores launch range .... gaffing a Mako is lame.

-I don't usually flame people about their catch, but you guys got a lot to learn about fishing La Jolla.

Next time you do something so stupid save us all from watching it and don't post it, ridiculous that with all the rare and different species of game fish to be caught at Lj right now and yoU kill a mako? Glad i don't have your karma or the lack of brain cells

Saved and/or ate every piece of our catch. Please refer any hateful comments to CA fish and game that says that is 100% legal.

Never had mako huh?
