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?

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!

It's fight or flight at this point! Running low on options, the shark lunges toward its nearest perceived threat, not knowing that it's not the kayak it must fear!

Got a mako last year from a boat.... Beautiful fish... Good eating too... I myself though would not want anything to do with them on the kayak. If they can outswim a boat and jump 10 feet out of the water with those teeth.... No thanks

I think some people watch too many shows on discovery channel about shark finning and what not. I dunno why people get their panties all in a bunch over keeping a shark. They're great eating just like alot of other species of fish. We're not going out in masses and killing every shark we can find. Where is the reasoning to talk shit? I can't find any. I got two threshers this year. Does that make me an asshole? I don't think so. Nice job on that mako, and from a kayak! Very awesome! 👍👍

Lol. I wish. Talked to fish and game about possibility of selling sportfishing catch at my restaurants. I thought it was impossible/very expensive but she assured me it was not only possible but affordable. Looking into it.

Interesting..... $98 ain't bad.

I catch a lot of lizard fish. How much do you think I can get for those?

Congrats on the catch. I'm just glad it all worked out in the end and no one was injured.

I have caught shark (including mako) on boats and have seen them do some wacky things once gaffed like leap 3 feet out of the water at boat side with a flying gaff buried deep in its side. We thought for sure we had her under control once we sank the gaff. Nope! That just pissed her off. She damn near jumped in the boat that had a three foot gunnel.

Just from my own experiences I would never consider trying to take a mako on my kayak.

You were able to do it without incident so my hats off to you. It's just not something I would try seeing what a gaffed shark that we all thought was near dead can do.

SMH Now Im getting pissed.
Of course it bit the kayak it had a f'n gaff in it. How long will it take to put 2n2 together? This shit is bad for the community and its not going away. Its right up there w the white hooked from the pier that "attacked" the swimmer. That had bad consequences for fishermen that took away fishermans rights.

Just think about the implications of this sensationalistic bullshit you might want to post.

[HobieScot]

Why would you or someone in your party contact the news with this clip? Or at least allow it to be turned over to a news Chanel.

You know that shark fishing is not a generally accepted practice with the public, let alone in our own kayak fishing community.

All that is going to do is get people up in arms about it and give them more ammunition to take more away from us, be it areas to fish or size and bag limits.

Not a smart idea
