I'll second dmrides. Setting the hook, then slack, then looking over and seeing a mako drive by with your line trailing out it's mouth is a bit intimidating. I've found threshers to be more powerful sharks that fight much longer. You gotta be careful of the tail but their mouth and teeth are not a big deal. Those damn puppy makos tend to come straight to the boat, totally green. It's always in my head that one little tail kick could put the thing right in my lap, or face. Since mako's teeth stick out the sides of their mouths they wouldn't even have to actually bite you to tear you up. Big fan of the long range release. Mike

Nice catch and even better on the release. Yet to catch one and will not target them as a species, although if on a boat would be all over it....only if the right size. Enjoy the memory and again well released!!!
