The Blue Hoo (2/24/2008)
Kind of like killing bobcats. It's just badass. I LOVE sinking a gaff into a mako. Of course, when you can fetch $10 a pound for the fillets, one nice sized mako gives me rent money.[/quote]
Bobcats and a mature large mako is effin comparing apples and oranges! but i personally want porpoise season to open im guessing mammal=red meat, eats a lot of redsnapper, so just like the salmon shark it taste like salmon. people always bitchin bout even taking a picture with a sailfish or a whitey(by the way ate sailfish in costa rica taste great). killin that mako is worse than that. but just my opinion. but seriously comparing killing bobcats and mature makos????

several people made some really good points here so i'll just add this...
i have an immense respect for hunters and fishermen like myself who learned from our fathers long ago the simple idea of "dont kill it unless you plan to eat it".
i cant stand trophy hunters any more than i can vegetarians.
however, im no expert in this matter... hell, my only experience with a shark was on one of my first fishing trips out on the gulf. i thought i had gotten snagged on the reef and started trying to yank it loose...then all of a sudden my reel started singing! after about 45 mins or so i was shocked to find a 4ft brown shark on the end of the line! my buddies weren't crazy about bringing him in the boat so we cut him loose.
like i said, not an expert...just a fisherman.

oh ya i forgot to drive an important point home. everything that gets iced on my boat, gets eaten. if not by myself or my roommates at college, then it's people i work with or my parents, who love fresh caught seafood. eat what you kill pertains not only when i hunt, (save for bobcats), but when i fish, as well. like i said earlier...i'm on a student's budget. that means i dont have money to blow on steaks or cheesecakes or any other of the "finer things,"...me and my roommates' bill for groceries is an astounding less than $100 a month, because we hunt/catch almost all of our food.

Don't get me wrong, I like fighting a big shark as much as the next guy, but unless it's a tourney situation, why kill it? (or if it cleaned off a bunch of bottom fish and you had enough!) Take a pic of it, measure it, and send her back. Don't bitch about flipper eating your snapper when you're out killing one of the porpoises only natural enemies! I personally hate dolphins a hell of a lot more than sharks!! Just something to think about... Bob Agree - dolphins are the real nuisance. Hook 'em, take the photo, send them back to munch on flipper...

Or less frequent, if every A-hole with a rod & reel kills a monster of that size every chance they get. Kind of like killing bobcats. It's just badass. I LOVE sinking a gaff into a mako. Of course, when you can fetch $10 a pound for the fillets, one nice sized mako gives me rent money. First of all, these bozos sank a .410 into this fish. Since when was shooting a fish considered sporting? Second, if you need rent money, go get yourself a job. It's idiots like you who help give the commercials ammunition against the rest of us. But of course it's all about you, isn't it?

But of course it's all about you, isn't it? Yep, and when the stocks get depleted and more stringent regs are put on a species, the "kill it if it's legal" crowd are the first ones to biach. Still taking some crap from some guys 2 springs ago that I made turn loose a 5 foot mako on my boat caught while bottom fishing. Caught him on a mono leader with live bait and a circle hook in 300 ft. of water. put on a great show jumping and at boatside biting the swim platform and thrashing around. We enjoyed his fight and let the little guy go. I guess those guys fish off the bank now.
