Call CNN... I caught a Mako... [Archive] - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I was out fishing an all night session when I hooked into a real man eater. At first I thought it was an insomniac tuna until I saw it jump atleast 19.316 feet into the moonlight. That's when I knew the fight was on like Donkey Kong.
After what seemed like hours my arms were aching from fighting this bloodthirsty beast of the sea.
Using my universally known expert angling abilities I slowly showed this apex predator who was the boss.
Once I got him to the side of my kayak I gaffed him in the ear which
For some unknown reason really pissed him off. He went so CraZy that he ATTACKED my paddle blade nearly scratching my new BWE sticker. Thank God my three friends came rushing out of the darkness to help me. Only after all three of them each sunk their gaff into this paddle attacking monster was I then able to safely subdue my catch.
After a long paddle back to the launch I met a homeless guy on the beach who said that my shark weighed about 60 pounds. I think he was drunk because it actually weighed 128 even on my scale.

The picture really doesn't do the size of this beast justice because I have a REALLY REALLY abnormally big left hand.

Does anyone have the phone number of CNN?

When you say you saw it jump 19.316 feet into the moonlight where you at the top of the swell? If it was a 3foot swell is it possible that the mako actually jump 22.316 feet into the moonlight?

That's a great question and I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to actually ask it to an awesome deadly shark catching guy like myself.
The actual swell size did not matter due to the fact that it really just didn't.
I hope this answers your question.

GREAT NEWS......
Scripps Institute of Oceanography is giving me a special life time achievement award due to the fact that I not only discovered that there are sharks in La Jolla but that they also get mad when you puncture their skin with a sharp gaff.
Scripps said that Katy Perry will be the entertainment as we feast on all of the shark meat and shark fin soup that that we can fit in our stomachs.

In a related story released by the Carlsbad Unified School District:

Long time Carlsbad school crossing guard, affectionately known as Chad Mike has requested an immediate leave of absence to deal with some personal issues. Mike has been a fixture in Carlsbad and is easily recognizable large and attention getting left hand. Earlier this weekend Mike is as involved in a life or death struggle with a massive mako shark while fishing off La Jolla. Mike felt he needed a little time to deal with his instant stardom and of course the inevitable nightmares that come along with such a harrowing experience. We will of course miss Mike and trust that he will get past this experience with no long term effects.

It's a good thing that wasn't the GW you saw last year out on the NW corner when we were fishing out there, other wise even your over sized hand wouldn't be able to hold on to the fish. Not to mention that it might have taken you for a long sleigh ride out to sea. If you catch any more mako pups or daddys or have saved some of the last thresher than you could buy yourself a food truck or open a restaurant. Don't let the haters get to you Mike.

When you say you saw it jump 19.316 feet into the moonlight where you at the top of the swell? If it was a 3foot swell is it possible that the mako actually jump 22.316 feet into the moonlight?
Actually, if he was at the top of the swell, and the shark was at the bottom of a different swell, then it seems like it only jumped 13.316 feet into the air. what a wuss of a mako. He has to turn in his man card. (mako, not mike)
