    The one that got away

    Here are some pics of the mako that got away last year. We had him for about 2 hours before the main line broke. The fish put on an unbelievable show that a guy named Marty on our boat got on camera. I think he was using a 200 mm lense to catch the aerials and the boats that the mako jump by are close to 100 yards away from us.

    You don't need a zoom when the battle is with something that BIG. Great shots on an awesome fish.

    that why there aint no other than a mako that steals the show

    when u get a mako that is mean, goes air born and wants to eat you boat side and after pealing hundreds of yards of line off while chasing him down. it's a fight like no other. congrats guys amazing pics!!!!
