Boy that would be enough to barbcue for everyone at the I fish stock! :shocked: Great eating! I don't know why he said they are rarely seen off of the west coast. We used to catch them all the time in San Diego?

Did anybody else see the 600 lb Thresher that got caught last year at Bouy 10. Amazing fish.

The best part was the 1/2 dozen or so big Pilchards (Pacific Sardines) hanging half way out of his mouth between his teeth. Can't believe he grabbed that herring with a belly full of those big sardines. I guess that's how you get to be 14ft long and weigh 600lbs (eat EVERYTHING within reach) :grin: :grin:

Saltwater Gamefishing shows the home range for Mako Sharks all along the California coast. In fact it identifies CA as one of the places to go for Mako fishing. Maybe the article was supposed to have said, rarely is a Mako that large caught of the California coast.

Here are some of the CA records:

447 (986 lb) Taken by Tom Brooks Jr. off Redondo Beach on 5 Sep 1999. Catch broke the old state record but only for 14 days; however, this mako at 11'6'' was reported to be 1" longer than 19 Sep capture by Chris Badsey.

503 (1109 lb) Caught by Chris Badsey on 19 Sep 1999 and braught into Dana Point Harbor CA for new State record. Large girth of 1.83 m (72"). Shy by 6 lb of current IGFA record of 1115 lb. Colder-than-normal water might have brought large makos closer to shore in 1999 as they appeared to more abundant.
