Congrats on the catch. I'm just glad it all worked out in the end and no one was injured.

I have caught shark (including mako) on boats and have seen them do some wacky things once gaffed like leap 3 feet out of the water at boat side with a flying gaff buried deep in its side. We thought for sure we had her under control once we sank the gaff. Nope! That just pissed her off. She damn near jumped in the boat that had a three foot gunnel.

Just from my own experiences I would never consider trying to take a mako on my kayak.

You were able to do it without incident so my hats off to you. It's just not something I would try seeing what a gaffed shark that we all thought was near dead can do.
