Thread: record MAKO SHARK caught.

    This Mako was hooked in the mouth, only fought slightly for 15
    minutes, came up along side of the boat to have a look, long enough
    for one of the crew to put a rope around it tail !!!
    That's when the s**t hit the fan!!
    The Shark took off towing the 42 foot fishing boat backwards
    through the water at about 7 Knots. Just like in JAWS. The boat was
    taking on water, the Shark would jump completely out of the water at
    times. This went on for an hour before the Shark actually drowned.
    He weight in at 1035 LBS

    It makes me wonder, what right do these people have for taking a creature like that. The damn shark has probably been alive for 100yrs and now it will be some dudes trophy??? I don't get it.

    I'm not a professional, but it almost looks as if it had been baited, with all the blood around it's mouth. I would suppose that if it had a rope around it's tail and drowned, it wouldn't bleed from it's mouth. Then again, I could be wrong.
    Neat creature, you gotta admit. :220v:
