There is nothing in the ocean that compares to a shortfin mako ,Isurus oxyrinchus. It is good this was caught on film. It is rare to have someone in the water who gets it on film. - Tom

A good reason not to jump in the water to film catching a fish. You are asking for it.

Wow!
It's almost like a new tagline:

Some days, you're the Shark; Some days, you're the Marlin.

See, it's like saying, "Some days, you're the bat; some days, you're the ball." Only...different.

I imagine it's even rarer for that someone to make it out of the water :-)

I can tell that the fishermen aren’t West Indian. If they were, you can bet that they’d try to catch and cook both, and leave only two bleached skeletons by the time they reached to shore. They love their sharkmeat down there.

We used to fish in the Keys every weekend. From time to time we would get a fish up near the boat only to have it chomped in half by a shark. Interestly enough they would not take a Barracuda. I have no idea why.

If I was in the water tagging the fish when this happened the water would have got a little warmer.
