When I fished for makos from my boat we had a rule that when the mako takes the bait and is hooked, move the boat away from the area the shark got hooked as always the mako would jump at or hit the boat. They still hit the boat, but at least it prevented them from landing in the boat with their initial jump.
I also that mako's were primarily fish eaters, but this video taken in July off Catalina shows that the big mako's like their red meat: http://www.savethebluefin.com/profil...hark-maims-amp Kevin |

I saw that Mako on friday and pulled my bait out until it moved away my friend; I go out there to have fun not to be a hero and it's good you counted to 10 so it could swallow it and chew your line loose..

That is awsome!! me and my buddy caught like a 3 -4 foot about 2 months ago off his boat....safe release but i tell you if he was bigger i would have kept him.....MAKO IS THE MOST DELICIOUS FISH ON OUR PLANET!!! tail wrap him and drag him backwards...that will stop him. Don't get me wrong I think all sharks are just freakin awesome and are beautiful creatures but those suckers are tasty!!!!! If you handle um right you can fondel um and set um free but be careful...they have a mouth full of razor blades...and they are squirrly!!!!!!

When I used to work building boats, my best day was when a prospective customer would be scheduled to come in. We shut down the shop, filled up the cooler, and took the customer out to catch a fish, and prove our boats as fish-able.
The boss had a Mako location set to the point that we we never came back empty. Took them back to the shop, in a ziplock with fresh garlic cloves, Italian dressing, and then on to the BBQ .... yum yum ! Sold many a boat by catching and feasting on a few Mako. |

Cool story. In the three months of wearing a stripe, I'd figure out a way to make that thing beg for mercy and fit himself in a vac-sealed bag in my freezer. No, I may not be wise in the ways of the ocean, but that just might make it interesting enough to try.
Then again, when I see the thing within a couple feet, that knife may accidentaly cut my line. |

I'm thinkin, how would I have responded being in that sitch, now I have a
12 + foot Blue under my belt, but that was on a 33 footer, just tired arms is all, but in the yak...I think I would have done the same thing...but I will be carrying a bit of rope from now on...this will be a story to definately remember... |

Good call on the quick release, that is the one animal I want nothing to do with in my kayak.

I tail dragged a decent Mako in my 13' aluminum for an hour and figured he'd be done but no...it was the bat to the head that did him in. I wouldn't even think of doing the same on my yak...

Dont attempt landing a mako in a kayak.Its just not safe.One nip and you are bleeding profusely.They are like Michael Myers,just when you think they must be dead,THEY ARE NOT! Many sharkers go 12 guage to the head for that reason.
