The plan came together and we got a Mako at the Humpty Dumpty. Also an 11 pound dolphin.

Nice Job
 
Never caught a Mako but did get a Thresher. Great eating.

Can't wait to see the video!

Great work oh Skunky one! That is one good lookin' gaff! LOL

How much does that shark weigh? Any idea? We got one about that size to the boat memorial weekend and was curious how much it might weigh.

Beautiful job Skunk, good eats coming down the pike. Well done

Well it WAS a nice looking gaff before that mako bent the crap out of it!

We didn't weigh it. Actually we never really measured it good after it died. We held the tape close and it was over 60'. The NOAA table shows a 5 ft mako at 83lbs and 5.5 ft at 112lbs. That seems right cause we were guessing 90 to 100lbs.

It is beautiful meat. Kind of like swordfish.

Glad we got one that size because its a lot of meat and we are still working on the tuna!
Now I don't even have to think about boating a really big one.

Now I completed my list of SkunkBoat "To Catch". What next?

Can't really TARGET wahoo, sails, marlin, swordfish, cobia unless I tow down to Florida. Hmmmm?:head:
