Shaky Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Longfin mako washed up on the beach in Pensacola. Beach goers sent it on its way. They found a dead longfin in the area more recently, might not have made it. Caught one when I was longlining. Had never heard of them before. Capt kept the rack, not good eating KidDkivahh, ReeferRob, Nite_Bite_00 and 1 other 4 If you are ugly you are ugly. Stop talking about inner beauty because we don't walk around with X-rays. --- Robert Mugabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valentine Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 That’s an impressive animal right there. It would make short work out of any of those men trying to get it back in deeper water. Beautiful fish. Lotta power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReeferRob Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 1 shot placed smartly between the eyes, they all get some good steaks. Damn good eating. hhager23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not good eating. No market for them in the US If my captain got rid of the only one we caught other than the fins and rack, the meat ain't worth a damn If you are ugly you are ugly.

TimS Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 The video doesn't show it, but apparently they were successful and got the shark back in the water - and it swam away...so kudos to them for saving such a magnificent critter that just needed a little boost off the beach DoOver and KidDkivahh 2 Show someone how to catch striped bass and they'll be ready to fish anywhere.

When I was long lining we had a number of makos, but only one long fin. If you are ugly you are ugly.
