Mako Jaws
Submitted by carnarvonite on Thu, 2010-01-14 15:20
Caught what was left of the mako while skippering a pro boat years back.It had been eaten by what looks to have been lots of small thick skins[sand bar whalers]as we caught a heap of them the same day and all we finished up with was the head,fins,spine and tail.The jaws now adorn the wal that also houses my boat rod collection

Luck
You might be out of luck because now there is a size limit on what you can bring in.Had crates full of whoppers but the makos are all thats left
