Spinner shark.

Those are inshore coastal sharks that feed on small fish and crustaceans. I've caught them. They are a lot like a overgrown blacktip. They do jump but they have small teeth and are not anywhere as dangerous as Makos. I'd feel perfectly comfortable targeting those from a kayak. Imagine a soupfin that jumps, and you get the picture.

well it's a jumping spinner shark , in one of those jumps if it hit you, somebody is going to be in the water... looking at the other videos you posted, it's something to think about...

I'd take an errant Spinner knocking me off my 'yak, over a mean-ass Mako, anyday. Jim, whereabouts did you hook your Spinner? Aren't they an East Coast shark?

Gulf.

Grew up in Texas fishing inshore sharks up and down the Gulf coast. Spinners are not as common as blacktips but I've got them at both North and South Padre Island.

I've always been nuts about catching big fish and sharks were about the biggest thing we could catch when I was a kid without a boat. I could tell you some stories. I saw some big sharks caught off Padre in the late seventies.

I won the Flyfishing for Mako's Trip with Conway Bowman at the raffle for the SMMT in 2010.I was going to sell the trip(Not into flyfishing)but then decided to go and book it.I called in July but he was booked through the year.He said to call and book for this year,so I have that to look forward too.Catch and release only.

My biggest mako is only a gup of about 25# that I released.

I say what the hell,lets just chum off San O and accidentally hook up to mighty whitey
