A friend of a friend was out fishing with his father and uncle in a 16’ aluminum boat and caught this 300 lb Mako shark. This was in September.
Re: being released, I was told “he’s done a lot of shark research professionally, so l would be guessing it was released.”
I haven’t seen one but years ago I was on a dock here looking down into a Cape Islander with a look-a-like porbeagle shark laying on the deck. I was wowed. What fantastic looking apex predator. Makos are even more so.
The saury run is likely on again and the sharks should be there with them.
