Well the damn sw wind that has plagued us for days finally quit and I took Shawn Malloy and crew out to catch the elusive isurus oxyrincus or the short finned mako shark. They did catch a very nice 73″ beauty that was around 150 lb. Wierdest mako I have ever seen. He swam right up to my mako magnet and spent 10 minutes swimming around the boat while I rigged a drop rod and fed him a mackerel which he promptly devoured. I let him swim away from the boat so when I struck him he wouldn’t jump in the boat. So, I set the hook and….NOTHING! He just swam around as if nothing happened. So I hit him again,NOTHING! No runs, no jumps, NOTHING! So, we grabbed the leader since there was only 6 feet of line out, and when he came up, BOOM! The .357 magnum spoke and that was the end. How do ya figure? I dunno but a bit later about an 8 foot brown shark pretty much cleaned Shawn’s clock before we released the beast at the boat. Crazy day. 54 degree water when I came out of GE inlet. 73 offshore.
