Mako with pixs

Headed out to the dumpsite yesterday morning and drifted around with a couple other boats. I heard a cape may boat JennyO had a mako up and also had some blue sharks. We could not find anything there so we figured lets make a run .

We went to massey's canyon and set up for a drift.
We were about 1 hour into this drift and we were heading of a edge when gary told one of the guys to crank up on that reel alittle. When he did a mako crashed the bait. We'll it looked like we were in for a good fight but it all ended very fast.

A short fight and we shot him and stuck a gaff in the mako .

The whole day we had a few blue fish and 1 mako.



Weighed 125 Thought he was bigger
