it’s called the food chain. we are at the top. this fish will be eaten. it won’t simply be tossed out. and it wasn’t caught with dynamite thrown in the water or a 30-06. the guy caught it with fishing line! it was a relatively fair fight and the human won. there are plenty of mako’s out there.
I will agree that most likely the fish will be eaten. Mako is as tasty as swordfish. I live in the Florida Keys, I fish for sport and food. My beef about this catch is the obvious death of perhaps 15 shark pups. We have seasons that are closed for snappers and groupers when they are spawning, I respect that ruling. A huge shark about to give birth should have been released, that’s my opinion.
I wonder if people who can afford shark skin boots / belts and other garments made from shark skin ever realize where it comes from, and Mako is very good eating.
not to mention all the study scientist will probably get from it
Well said. This place used to be conservative
