Earlier this week, a Texas man caught a world record Mako shark off the California coast with rod-and-reel. The shark, weighed officially at 1323.5 pounds, exceeds the previous IGFA record of 1221 pounds. Critics say the shark should have been released, but it had to be killed for purposes of weighing and photographing. What say you?

From personal experience I will say that neither Makos nor port beagles, blue dogs, or thresher sharks populations could be hurt in a recreational or commercial ROD AND REEL fishery. We "shark up" atleast 5 times a day tuna fishing while trying not to. They typically roll into the boat as if you foul hooked a decent piece of firewood. While I don't love sharks, I certainly see their place and I say, take your limit, and leave the rest for the sea. They're no real trophy in my book though.
