Mako Shark Attacks Kayak Video

[Billy V]

Considering the epic Bluefin/Yellowfin/Yellowtail fishing going on right now within La Jolla Shores launch range .... gaffing a Mako is lame.

-I don't usually flame people about their catch, but you guys got a lot to learn about fishing La Jolla.

Next time you do something so stupid save us all from watching it and don't post it, ridiculous that with all the rare and different species of game fish to be caught at Lj right now and yoU kill a mako? Glad i don't have your karma or the lack of brain cells

Zed I understand and appreciate your comments. IMO it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I'm very happy we were able to land it safely.

Saved and/or ate every piece of our catch. Please refer any hateful comments to CA fish and game that says that is 100% legal. Never had mako huh?

What's wrong with killing a mako legally? One less mako for me to worry about out there. They didn't target it, it took his bait, and he reeled it up. That last sentence was uncalled for, how many people do dangerous things depending on their situation? Are you some kind of forum police that regulates what can be posted here or you just hating on what someone did that you don't have the balls to do?

[fishbullie]

Anyways...Congrats on the catch! Looking forward to see more helpful people out there and less haters.

However, I like to stay away from sharks and your video makes me feel better about cutting my line in those situations so I can fish another day.

to each their own. Tight lines!

Cheers all.

Thanks for the comments guys. I can appreciate both sides of the argument. It was no means a safe catch and we are not encouraging anyone to replicate it. Not planning on keeping another mako and will absolutely cut the line next time I hook one. See you put there!

[Daiwadude]

We're not tying to make a career of hunting makos, that was the last for me. It was a once in a lifetime catch from a kayak.

Not gonna lie to you I do need to learn a lot about fishing La Jolla. However, who are you to tell me I can't or shouldn't take a legal fish though? We didn't waste any of that beautiful animal and it was the fight of a lifetime for us. I love the ocean and would never do anything that I/ or science for that matter, would consider harmful to its inhabitants.

IMO Those posts were a little out of line but the point I think is, 99% of experienced kayakers would not gaff a mako of any size from a yak. Too many bad outcomes. You guys did it, dispatched it and have all 20 toes and 20 fingers. Just dont spread the message its commonplace to do. Or even easy.

Congrats though and enjoy it!

If ya'll have any complaints, go cry to the DFG and your momma!!

Hmmmm im experienced and I've done it ? As long as you have a game plan it's all good . How do you get experienced in such matters unless you try them ? I'm definitely not Hollywood about catches but to each their own
