Twice I have been lucky enough to hook aMako off shore. Watching them sky has been the most incredible thing I have ever witnessed off shore. The 1st was was on the edge. We had blackfin schooled all around the boat. The Mako hit a flat line and skied 5 times right next to the boat. I would bet he weighed over 700lbs. We were on a 23' boat. I had the same thoughts afterwards. What the hell would I do if he hit the boat. I am afraid he would have knocked ua all out of it. The 2nd one I hooked was 5 miles off the beach during cobia season. It was probably about 250-300 lbs. Got about 4-5 good jumps off him right next to boat.

I have yet to catch one.....and it pisses me off!

If it was indeed 10' long and healthy itcould weigh anywhere between 500-600lbs.
