? What would u do

[slobslayer]

im guessing you didnt have a steel leader, so it probably wasnt a mako or a blue or any shark with a set of teeth unless you got a really lucky hook set. What pound test line? Blue sharks sometimes roll like crazy and makos well good luck with that. What color was it ?

We caught and released 3 Makos at La Jolla on Saturday so I'm guessing yours was a Mako too. Gaffing a Mako? I'm not too sure how that works from a yak.

Well if your gaff is leashed down just gaff it and leave it in the agua. While it starts to fade bleed that guy out. A makos too good eatin. Though I wouldnt put it on my lap til its no doubt dead.
Then again my first decent sized shark in a kayaks gona be nerve rackin too. We'll see what I actually do under the circumstances

With all due respect, if you don't have the experience catching sharks from a Kayak, please refrain from giving advice on the subject that could result in injury for someone else. If that was a mako then JNasty did the right thing. You are assuming a mako will let ypu put a gaff in him them swim around all boo hoo poor me till he dies. He will attack your kayak and anything within reach including you.
