I used to kill small makos when I lived back east as well...since moving to California we will not even bait one that is under 400 lbs..they get so much bigger it is embarrassing to kill the small one's. either way good luck with your tourney nothing but best wishes for success!
From a resource perspective, you are better off killing the smaller sharks than you are killing the large, mature females.
