Mako: What Do You Think About This...?

[JAN 1974]

Just curious,what do you all think about these "heroes" ,killing a shark for fun with shotgun?

Large Mako Shark Caught at Perdido Pass


“This fish,” Bowman said, “wasn’t supposed to be here. He should have been a hundred miles off shore eating tuna.” SO WHAT? LET'S GO AND KILL HIM???!!!:2ar15smil

You spend years growing from snack food to an apex predator, only to be taken out by a few rednecks with a small boat and shot gun.

What a waste.

it`a just not right, to go after it just cause it`s there? i guess i just miss the whole idea of it.I have been a fisherman my whole life and i`ve never went after or caught a fish just for the hell of it. but i guess it`s not my call on whats right.....i think i`d much rather have gone after the bull redfish the shark was chasing.....

I think the fishermen are ignorant :/

I am a BIG fan of sharks and not killing them, and have alwayse said don't kill anything if your not going to eat it.
I can say these Guys did eat this shark, so it didn't go to waste. (for what its worth)

Ok. But anyway,I think,that in hunting these species is more involved taking pictures,preparing jaws etc , than a good meal. Just my opinion...

I Agree, Don't get me wrong I am a Shark person and would NOT kill one.

I dont think it could have been said any better.

It seems here lately that there have been alot of big sharks being caught near shore. If only people could see the ocean the way divers do . I wish they could have cut him loose at the boat.

What a waste of a perfectly good shotgun...shooting underwater. They're lucky it was only the barrel that split. As for the shark, I hate to hear it but fisherman are not divers.
