Left out of Oside at 18:00 yesterday. Went to the plant, made some macs till sundow, then is was showtime.

Just went west, about 7 miles out and started the chum line. My buddy forgot the "other" big game rod/reel. So I took that as an exigent circumstance to use my CalStar 800M/Seagate 50 and tie on the leader to 65lb braid.

NO SHIT, with in 5 minutes of droping down I was on....click-zzzzzzzzz

. She jumped out of the water about 30yrd from the boat, brought her to the side and BLAM! Shotgun blast to the head.

Caught my first and last Mako of the year. It was non-stop action for 3 and 1/2 hours. 2 released, 2 kept. Mine was 58 inches long at the fork...I didn't get tape on the girth. But, I estimate it less than 83lb, more than 70lb.
