And the winner in Mako Mania Saturday was......
Headed out with Dave Daley early AM on the Jenny Lee seeking out a shark that would in the end make us all proud. Capt. Dave and kevin had everything well prepared. Set up first location and drifted a good distance but no bites. .made the run to next spot and with in the hour we were hooked up. We fought the beast valiantly, passing the rod countless times. Dave did EVERYTHING possible assisting us to fight this monster. 3 1/2 hours and 5,miles later we came un buttoned. Not for lack of effort on any one our parts. Was the beasts turn to win that day! Jenny Lee again did not disappoint. Thank you Dave and Kevin!

Re: And the winner in Mako Mania Saturday was......
Duffman, Unfortunately/Fortunately not, would have been great to get a glimpse at how big it actually was after all that time. I'm guessing with the strength it had to endure that long of a battle and yet still keep winning, it was massive. It never breached as a typical Mako would do so I guess I'm glad I didn't see that it was a monster Mako money fish and then lose it. I learned a lot during the battle as most do when fighting a fish this size.....and today? I ache like I never have fighting fish before..

Re: And the winner in Mako Mania Saturday was......
Sharkipsy,
Great story even though it didn't have the desired ending. Was it a mako or Thresher? Line break or hook pull. If line broke, was it cable or single strand. Sorry for all the questions but curious. One of the disadvantages of cable which I've learned the hard way is during long battles it doesn't hold up. Had a huge mako three years ago eat through 325 lb cable after a 2 1/2 fight. 3 1/2 hours is an amazing battle, at least you guys got the right bite. You had an experience most others never will! Great effort! Dakota
