Can you guess the location?
Alot of fishermen (and Ladies) don't know that Makos are a sport fish and put on quite a show jumping and spinning!
This guy was finning on the surface and we couldn't tease him in with live bait and fly lining live sardines, so I set up a 7 kt troll with a Nomad DTX minnow and watched him submerge as we aproached from 100 yards out to our starboard. Sure enough, we were "fish on!" As soon as he was in our wake.
The BEST fish tacos and fried nuggets ever!!
I can share recipes if you like.
Be safe out there and add your own "Mako my day" story (fresh or salt).
Tight lines and tails up!

What do you look at to determine its a Mako ? I heard its great eating as any maneater is. I have had great white and it was very tasty. Also, looking at his head, did you shoot it to calm it down ?

Not Cabo, but the correct coast!

Be advised, the minimum length for malls is 72" for a male and 83" for females. Be careful, the fine is severe

Yes and they are very tastey, and prolly why they are endangered and on the "pelagic" list and need a permit to keep even 1 of any size.
