I practice C&R as much as possible, in this case there was absolutely no way I was risking having anything to do with this fish. I did my best at getting as close to the hook as possible. I have to admit seeing it rush at Kevins yak, bite the bow and leave those marks was enough to make me very quickly decide on what to do. I agree with the previous post that even at 34" its still way to close. From a boat there is more protection and a buddy to assist. At water level and dealing with a Mako no thank you.
