As I reached down to secure the chum cage, the mako went flying by my hands. We baited the mako on 50 lb. The mako fought at first like a big blue shark, then it stuck its head out of the water looked us over, apparently didn't like what it saw, bolted and went airborne four times during the rest of the fight. This Mass. Bay giant bluefin had its lower belly section torn out by this mako. Both the tuna and the mako got wrapped up in my friend's gill net.
