Talking Mako fishing

Here's the video

So I got lucky, shark tournament was delayed a week due to weather so I was able to go.
Went out on a 54' Ocean. We fished south of the Chicken Canyon and east of the Fingers. Water temp 64.4
Started off slow but as soon as we got a good breeze and drift we were one right ofter the other Blues and Makos. We stuck a fat Mako that looked good but turned out 63", short of a tournament 66" limit, Released another smaller mako and a handful of some bruiser blue sharks. We lost another mako(we think) and broke off something really big, peeled line and then we never budged it. Main line broke.

Awesome trip non-stop action from 1030 til 4pm. Left em biting...
