Mako????? 08-24-10 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Cool story. In the three months of wearing a stripe, I'd figure out a way to make that thing beg for mercy and fit himself in a vac-sealed bag in my freezer. No, I may not be wise in the ways of the ocean, but that just might make it interesting enough to try.

Then again, when I see the thing within a couple feet, that knife may accidentaly cut my line.

I'm thinkin, how would I have responded being in that sitch, now I have a
12 + foot Blue under my belt, but that was on a 33 footer, just tired arms
is all, but in the yak...I think I would have done the same thing...but I will be carrying a bit of rope from now on...this will be a story to definately remember...

Good call on the quick release, that is the one animal I want nothing to do with in my kayak.

I tail dragged a decent Mako in my 13' aluminum for an hour and figured he'd be done but no...it was the bat to the head that did him in. I wouldn't even think of doing the same on my yak...

Dont attempt landing a mako in a kayak.Its just not safe.One nip and you are bleeding profusely.They are like Michael Myers,just when you think they must be dead,THEY ARE NOT! Many sharkers go 12 guage to the head for that reason.
