Big Mako Off Fort Lauderdale

[Boz]

748 pounder boated off FtL. Notice I didn't say "caught". More like "trapped".

Not very sporting in the least, I would have just videotaped seeing that big mako. They werent out targeting mako, and what are they honestly going to do with all of that meat?? Even if they donate the meat they dont keep personally, it would have been better to let that big mako go.

Agreed with the "trapping" 10000%

Wonder if anyone will get pissed off with the following statement? I wonder who funded that venture... Seems like free gaffing a lively Mako would be a less than ideal situation, on the deck of any boat! Sometimes I wish my daddy was rich enough for me to play on a big boat like that, and do dumb shit.

I agree not sporting at all. at least throw a rod in the water and attempt to catch it instead of just gaffing it.

Wow.......

Idiots. Typical LHP crap...everyone there thinks their own shi-t don't stink. Idiots.

That's terrible. Why not just shoot it with a 12ga when it is swimming around the boat? Better yet, run the boat over it and hit it with the props.

I tried to see both sides of the story...but, c'mon man. They weren't targeting the d@mn thing, so leave it alone. It was feeding on dead swordfish...one they just killed and released? Need more story info
