Caught two. #1 around 180# like fighting a sailfish, lots of jumps and a few power runs, tagged and released.
#2 around 400+# different fish, pulled hard down for 20 min. then came up and danced trying to shake the hook for about 10 min.. Didn’t work so the fish went down and sulked, cranked it up, saw the boat and went nuts. Had the leader and ready to tag and the fish started chewing on the port trim tab actuator with a vengeance. Tagged it and cut the line. Mako’s are great on a rod and reel, be real careful if you get them close in to your boat; they are a pissed off wild animal with big teeth!
