Big Makos - Didn't kill any of these (no need for 700#'s of Mako steaks and they eat sealions) but I estimated them in the 800# or so class. to give a point of reference my cable is 7' long. We did our best to measure them. The top one was around 11' the bottom was 10'6" but was just fat. Tough to get good photos while you are leadering them lol. All of these were caught within 8 miles of the beach, one was 2.5 miles. You guys can't believe how many giant ones there are in Southern California and NO ONE and I mean NO ONE fishes for them.

So much fun here being able to do all this on a skiff vs. having to own a big Sportfisher or Downeaster. Best part of living here.
