Yeah we were right there were we were supposed to be for the cobes. Apparently did not hold our mouth right or something? On the shark, I didn't know anything about the length requrements and also those things scare the **** out of me, so I was happy to see him go. Not so happy about the lure. Same lure I caught 44 lb YFT on a couple years back down there.

sharks have to be 54" nose to fork. 1 per boat per trip. Also need a HMS permit

Ok lets assume I brought an obvious keeper mako beside the boat. What's the procedure for getting it in the boat without losing any digits? Gaff in face, tailrope, shotgun blast to head, tape mouth shut like a gator, hop on its back and slit throat? LOL

I give em a good look and say, "yep, thats a shark alright" right before lettin em go......

You can always tail-loop em and drag em backwards for a little bit, just drown em.

assuming you are trying to keep a well worn out mako in the 150+ range flying gaff makes it safer, then shoot it then tail rope it, then if it don't move try to boat it real careful, 5 gallon bucket over the head, assume it will try to bite you thru the bucket after 2 hours.

or snap a photo & cut the leader
