 We hooked our first mako a few months back while fishing in 32m. Got a black tip, necked it and hung

It over the side to bleed out. Up pops a mako in the blood trail. Sent a bait out hooked up, 3 jumps last one early landing in the boat before running deep. Got the engine started powered down tryin to set hooks. 5 min later hooks pulled :(

Mako's are known for their arial ability. Would've been hell scary that close to ya boat.
