Looking for blue water
Chris:
Launched out of oside with about 40lbs of chum and my heart set on at least seeing a mako. Cruised to cbad canyon and the water was dark green but 65-66 degrees so still promising. Headed out about 5 miles to find the blue water break and it just wasn’t in sight. Figured since we’ve raised them there in the past with dark water it might be worth a shot so I set the chum anyways and flylined some live macks.
Drifted almost 4 hourse before the chum was gone and I was about 2 miles off the beach then headed for the surf zone. Found bait real quick, pinned on a big mackerel and as I was letting it swim out in frees pool it took off at about 50mph.... put the reel in gear, came tight and a thresher put on an aerial show for me. Probably took 8 mins to get to the boat and I released her.

Congrats on the thresher catch!
Gaff and shark teeth that close to the inflatable hull. Eeee! Don't take it as criticism, I know you know what you're doing. I don't think I could do it though.
Chris:
Yea the flying gaff looks bad there but no matter how I twist it the point won’t come in contact with the hull and I have it secured.... I guess it’s good till it’s not right? ;D

Whew! You are not kidding with that gaff point. I'd opt for a vertical holder. hahaha
Great video! You got a steel set of bowling balls fishing for Makos in an inflatable! I applaud you as I always seem to catch makos that want to bite my boat. Hopefully you get some video when you hook that mako. They should be showing up here real soon if they are not already here.
Nice Thresher!

Yeah makos biting the boat is gonna be a no from me dog. I’ve heard that before so I’ll stick to threshers. I’m enjoying these shark reports thoroughly.
