242 Mako

Post by SimpleGesture »

We fished the Freeport Hudson Anglers shark tournament over the weekend and caught a 242 lb. Mako on my dad's boat 'Happy Time'.

Heres a little video from the tournament.

Healthy looking juvenile female Mako.

250# is about 7'-6"
9' is 400#

Males at 200 can reproduce females need to be about 350-400 to reproduce.


This one had a 5 gallon bucket in it's mouth.
