That was a $50,000 mistake, not entering the calcutta! This was my first shark fishing experience and we had a great time. We managed to release 4 makos up to 6' and 40 or so blue sharks to around 9'. The leader board was across the street from the boats in the hotel. I don't know if they updated it on Saturday but according to the board no fish were counted on Saturday (there were minimum weights depending on the kind of shark.) I now know why boating a mako is considered the most dangerous act in sportfishing. We were in the process of trying to cut the leader on a 6' mako when the thing just jumped straight up the gunnel, it's head being about a 1' 1/2 from ours. Then it hit the boat twice before racing to the bow and doing another sumersalt. Very mean fish!
