My buddy hooked a mako in the Monster Shark Tournament in July. It immediately jumped about 100 yds out to let us know what it was. The line went slack and we thought it was off, but to be safe he was reeling like crazy. The next jump started at the port stern quarter and ended port a mid ship less than 2 feet from the boat. We did not have to look down to get a very close look at this fish as it's head was well above my hardtop. Another few feet toward the starboard and we would have been scrambling to the bow and hanging out there for a while. I don't think my buddies understood the reputation of a mako but I sure did. It was only 104 lb fish but he could easily inflicted a fatal wound if he clamped on in the right spot.
