when I was 14 we hooked a Mako while bluefishing 3 miles from Newport and landed it on bass/bluefish gear. Stands up there in the memory bank with alot of other fishing highlights... The jaws still hang in my office.

How did you do the jaw?
I was told NOT to boil it, as the teeth will fall out.

I would like to preserve it, but don't know how.

Anyone have methods?????

Not sure how to properly do it, but I made the mistake of boiling a set of jaws from a mako I caught about 10 years ago and all of the teeth did fall out.
So now I have a jar full of teeth.... pretty tough to hang on the wall.
