ok LKJO049, but there are good dive stories and videos on the net too. My personal favorite is the myscubastory site. It has videos, stories and photos also. Type top dive stories into google and its the 1st or 2nd result. Enjoy

[superjake132]

Sinxpeace thats a very dumbass type of question man are you going to stick your hand down a sharks mouth?? Dont think so

[SinXPeace]

if you planned to release him, why left the hook there???

that's not like a mouth piercing to the shark, man!

[tassiehunter]

@SinXPeace we use a steel hook, (no stainless) so the hook will rust out in a few days, and if you know of a way to get a hook out of between a couple hundred very sharp teeth on an fish as unpredictable as a mako, good luck,,,, :) ,,,,,,, to add a bit of info: on the odd shark we keep for eating, most have stainless jap longline hooks in their jaws, and it never appears to worry them one bit, (does worry us, how many are lost to longlines each day)

[fishin1111]

this video is much much more "upscale" and professional than many others I have seen on this website. That shark was not injured, released slowly at a nominal glide and not jerked around at all. This fish probably did not suffer any type of hook shock at all. Very humane and an excellent procedure protocol there. I wish more tags could occur like this. Do you want a job? We need taggers and fishermen in our company. Based out of J'ville Beach, Florida?

[tassiehunter]

@fishin1111 thankyou for the comment, we wish to fish into the future, so this type of thing is very important to us, cheers

They most likely used one that breaks down over a few weeks.

[ihopeutubedies]

You left the hook in its mouth! Doesn't that hurt him?

[DawgBone]

Nice jobs guys....

For whatever reason, I always thought the Makos had the super long rear fin(caudal?) or am I thinking of Thrashers?

[ImAussieMate]

looks like 100 odd kg :P nice work :)

[SinGaT0ne]

What did they done?

[notsorryatall]

You stand out amongst some horrible and brutal shark captures on youtube: yours is calm, professional and humane. Well done guys, that's how to catch a mako!

[tassiehunter]

Thanks for that, we do take the odd one for eating but if we don't need them , a release is the way to go.

[ozziairlegger]

@tassiehunter ....Yep...FILLET...and release is the way to go...

[TheFishyfingers4me]

I second the comments made by notsorryatall. It`s fine to take a fish every so often to eat. But catch & release is the way of the future, especially when sharks under threat like the Mako are concerned.

[TheDiamond123123]

I know they should be released like; "Yeah see we cathed it, lets take some cheesy pictures for facebook for all the mafia wars friendlist idiots, and the release the shark back to the ocean"

[lulkeke]

u left the hook in its mouth..

that not bad for it?

[QUP45X]

Na, the hook rusts away and falls out after a few days.

[Sharkydude990]

SHARKS ARE COOL!!!!!!!!!

[pezipolt2]

[tassiehunter]

we estimated it at around 320-340lbs, we use a length - weight chart to do the estimations
