755 pound mako landed

cogzwell · 01-03-2006, 11:04 AM

The Reaper landed a 755 lb shark sunday night. Apparently the fish dumped the first 80w and the crew rigged the second 80w and threw the first one in. Fish was landed and at the dock by 9 am.

Sure looks like a longfin. I havent heard of many being caught in the south florida waters

quack quack · 01-03-2006, 03:33 PM

It's a shortfin. White patch under chin. Long fin are darker in color. Peck fins are much more swept back.

looked it up

Shark Tagger · 01-03-2006, 03:36 PM

Yep, thats a shortfin, I'm pretty sure by those pictures. The fins are a bit long for a shortfin, but as quack quack said above the features are that of a shortfin.
