Mako's - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

You always have to ask yourself "whats the worst that could happen?" Sure you could get pulled out to sea and be chewed up by a 400lb mako, but you could also get crushed by a falling tree while sitting in your car at a red light like the woman in irvine. I think the mako would make for a cooler topic at my eulogy

Ive said for a long time I would do it. I dont have near as much experience as Jim or some of the others but I have dealt with a good amount of mako's on boats. They are pretty crazy fish and I too have seen them at sizes well over 1000lbs.

Been trying 10 years now for my thresher. this year I want that milestone gone. Even in the most wide open T bites I seem to pull out YT. Most would say this is a good trade but its been way too long of my trying for Mr. T.

In short, if we got experienced guys together id be in. Probably wouldnt paddle my 160 and would go for the Ride 135 but either way im in.
