Big Mako Shark
Imagine for a second your standing up to your nipples in the surf with a fishing rod above your head. Attached to the fishing line you have a big fat hunk of fish dripping blood into the water. As you make your cast you're just praying that you make it back to the sand before something severs you in half.
Now imagine battling for over an hour to get this man eater in water shallow enough to grab him by the tail. It's not easy work and it's not for the faint of heart. Sharks are powerful and can turn in an instant. They are flexible enough to bite their own tail, therefore getting a rope on his tail requires a chicken bag sized proportionally to the shark you've managed to hook. Here's what you might see if you pull a pissed off Mako Shark onto the sand.
Sharks pulled onto the beach are only there long enough to snap a picture and retrieve the hook. This mako shark was around 9' and was caught by Oz who is the webmaster of Extreme Coast.
If you're planning a beach vacation this year why not try to hook one of these monsters? I've provided a Shark Fishing Guide to get you going in the right direction.

Now … that’s a real fisherman.
I’m sorry, but that’s not a fisherman, nor a show of verile manliness. Pulling these beautiful creatures out of the water & putting them through all that unnecessary trauma just for your own enjoyment is cruel. Why don’t you go around picking fights in bars if that’s the kind of thing you like doing? Find a sport that doesn’t harass the wildlife. I’m pretty sure the shark doesn’t see the ordeal as a rewarding experience.
Go hug a tree, and stop whining. Fishing, as well as hunting is a thing of nature. Sharks hunt and prey on smaller fish, as do we. We just happen to be the mroe dominant hunters.
Yeah, but Sharks don’t hunt for pleasure or to boast to their mates. Don’t tell someone to hug a tree when you are just being an egotistical wanker in first place. If you want to hunt them I suggest you jump in the water with one and make the fight fair. I’m sure your mouth could handle something a little larger seing as though a lot of shit come out of it John Doe
Hey,
Let me know where you’re catching one, I’ll filet it and we can have a great barbeque.
I would hardly call you in the water with a shark, especially a mako fair. I don’t think we should kill them though unless it was a matter of human life or death.
wow stupid why would you want to eat shark one its cruel two it tastes like shit shit the only reason why people eat it is cause its a delicasey but now its being turned into a cheap meal
im sure yee land lover has no idea but the shark loved it its like playing tag and usualy he wins but learned sometimes u lose.
lmao i agree!
like dude dont be stupid and go kill sharks all day sharks kill mabye 14 or sumthin around there of people a year humans kill 400,000 sharks a year!s yea plus u never know what a sharks gonna do!!!
(go kill fish , not sharks!!)
a shark is a fish you stupid cunt. whats the difference between cating a shark and fish. sharks taste better than fish if you ask me. i guess now your going to say fishing is horrible. so fuck off you stupid tree hugger.
I Agree w/ Jared about sharks being a lot more tastier than fish, but Jared, you seem to be the type that can’t play who’s cock is longer so you play who can piss the farthest. I am from the middle of the Pacific and here, WE “traditional fishermen” actually jump in the water without armored suits and race to the bring our fish in shark infested waters and when we spear a fish we have to race to the top before the sharks gets it. see we understand the nature of survival, it’s like a race, if you want to win, you must go fast. not kill all the competitors so you can win. After all, the have been around way longer than we humans have and the fact is, it’s their territory and we are the invaders. So, shark fishing isn’t fishing unless you were sitting in the water. And dont try and talk about sharks hunting people because they don’t, I know, I have 3 relatives that were bit by sharks, in culture the sea taketh, but always less than it gives.
Get real, its not for the sharks enjoyment its for the fishermans. I bet you go out and hug trees on the weekend too.
Also, most of the time the sharks are released back into the water to fight another day.
just don’t fish for sharks
he is a fisherman, u have no idea how hard it is to catch one of those, besides if you didnt know recreational fisherman are the people who care the most about our wild life, they release about 80% and the rest are either eaten, studied by scientists or die because of exhaustion (mostly hammer heads)….you have to worry about commertial fisherman or people who fin them illegally
souns like fun.. i looove sharkmeat…cant wait ta try texas ones…been catching cali ones offa tha pier fer years…thresher tastes best
Go hug a tree or eat a salad.
I bet you have absolutely no qualms about the killing of an unborn baby… well that’s your right… this is his.
I agree with you. If someone finds it necesary to do a catch and release operation it should be done as humanly as possible. This shark most likely was extremely stressed out by the ordeal, and stress leads to a higher likelihood of disease and death. Toying with it for an extended period of time is no better than animal cruelty.
you’re a jackass it’s a man eat man world. Or in this case man eat shark world so deal with it.If you don’t like this sort of thing don’t look at it or read about it. Just stay in your house and live the life of a hermit!
steve
This photo is awesome.
You sound like a good ole’ down home liberal Cuious george in the white house fan. Go fuck off and die…twice!
hey! so youve never fished? and im sure if there was a bunch of humans in the water and any of us bled the sharks would eat us
and sharks are big versions of fish! but whales are mammals and they should not be hunted or caught. sharks are ok cuz they suck balls and eat peoples
Lady,I didnt climb to the top of the food chain to eat salad!
Hey Tara quit making me look like a pussy for having tits. Fuck sharks they don’t exactly come back to pay for that brind new hole in your fucking legs they gave you. Cunt.
its not cruel lady. amigine it coming and biting your leg off then will you think its cruel. im a fisherman i do it all the time!!
Well said, Tara. I’m no vegetarian, so I’ve directly and indirectly killed plenty of creatures in my day. But I draw the line at predators – they don’t reproduce in numbers nearly great enough to support any kind of fishery/taking. Sharks most definitely fit that bill. And due to the violent nature of bringing them alongside, they aren’t really great candidates for catch-and-release.
What catching them DOES do, however, is through the marine ecosystem out of balance, and provide a boost for wankers whose ego and machismo are sorely lacking.
D-bags, take up a real sport. Oh, I forgot, you lack the courage or coordination to surf.
You think it takes more courage to surf, than to land a 9 foot mako shark with your bare hands…. behave!
I bet you go to PETA conventions…loser
why are you on a site like this if you don’t like it. I don’t go to your wild life websites saying what your doing is wrong, to each his own.
or we could just started eating all the ones we catch there problem solved
What a useless thing killing this shark.
But what can you expect from ignorant people thinking that the sharks are killers.
They’re wrong: humans are the killers.
They didn’t kill the shark, it’s called catch and release. This is just on a larger scale. Didn’t you read before you commented?
“Sharks pulled onto the beach are only there long enough to snap a picture and retrieve the hook.”
your a freakin moron damn hippie its the cricle of life sharks taste good and are fun to catch i live in galveston island texas right up the coast from oz
sharks are so brutal!
The young man in that photo tags these sharks to help in their conservation .The reason for pulling them into shallow water is to remove hooks take measurments for study….Your should reserch and know whole story before shooting your mouth off about something you know lilte about.
Wow! big guy with the big shark, have to take my hat of to you your a real hero with an out of control ego, shame it wasn’t flexible enough to bite your head of, shame evolution didn’t give it legs so he could knock on your door and drag you out into his domain and tell his mates how he bagged this dangerous two legged pig from his home. Sad!

kill it
Heck if it was me behind that shark I wouldn’t be smiling
Great picture.
Wow! You have some great articles on here. That is one crazy picture.
Isn’t it rare for Makos to get that close to shore?
Makos are pretty rare themselves so it is really really rare to actually catch on. They are mostly caught in colder waters in the north Atlantic. To answer your question, Yes it is pretty rare that Makos come in this close. Remember though the bait to catch this shark was probably kayaked out 300-400 yards.
Mako’s live in warm water idiot. I had to do research on it plus I know a guy who goes fishing and he’s caught one before and where I live the water is warm. He says they are good eating and put up one heck of a fight.
Of course I don’t like shark hunting unless they are releashed.
he said colder not cold , makos are live on all american coasts but are most common from new england to new york
And it make a difference. And I meant to put they perfer to live in warmer waters. Only a few hand around the waters that are cold.
Very nicely done Oz. I would not mind battling one of those
Don’t like the idea of fishing sharks (or whales), but good thing you released it. The shark on the picture is a real beauty.
A shark is a fish, an eating machine with nothing but predatory instincts guiding it. It’s brain is the size of a couple of walnuts. On the other hand whales are mammals, exceedingly intelligent, and in many ways, the ways that count, more intelligent than humans.
Kill as many sharks as you feel you need to or would like to. Leave the whales alone.
thats not true at all sharks are an amzing species that are endanger whales do nothing without sharks the ecosystem woukd be very screwed up
sharks arent stupid in fact makos are some of the smartest fish in the world
So because sharks are fish they deserve to die, and whales don’t because they are mammals? That seems unfair. True whales shouldn’t be killed,either should sharks. Sharks aren’t that stupid. They have been alive before the dinos ruled the land. If they were stupid like dodo birds they would be all dead. Next time you tell someone to kill a shark and not a whale, because whales are mammals ‘which means they are smarter’ think again. And by the way tell me, how do you know whales are more intelligent and that sharks are small brained idiotic fish? Oh wait you don’t! Go protest against gum. Some is made of whale blubber. Sharks and whales are both endangered, so don’t tell people how killing sharks is okay!
Have a nice day trying to kill the planet.
No comma.
I’m sorry, but a mako that size…..if they’re edible….I’m gonna have to haul him up on shore and bbq his @$$. Forget catch and release
heck ya
How the hell does he get the hook out of it’s mouth?!
Very carefully. Very quickly. A couple of pictures (of which this is one of the best EVER!), and back into the water the shark goes.
And, for the one that said they would not be smiling if they had this shark by the tail – YES, you would. If you had been fishing and documenting sharks for as long as Oz has, and this was a VERY RARE experience, you would be nothing but smiles – especially after a sucessful release and watching this beauty swim off safely.
I love this picture!
dam only if i got one of those i’d be making my own web page to. what you use for bait?
It’s good to see advocates of catch and release. I commend you. Unfortunately it’s disconcerting to see people who think it’s just fine to catch as many sharks as possible because they are just some “eating machine” (ie franck). People out there need to realize that sharks provide incredible importance in maintaining the health of marine ecosystems, and that over-fishing of sharks is a serious problem. Sharks are RAPIDLY becoming endangered. I challenge you to get more information. Here is one site: http://www.oceana.org/sharks/home/
Yeah yeah yeah, tell me some. This is just fake. The shadow on the inner side of the lower jaw of the shark is not consistent with the global lightning of the scene. Should be darker.
Yeah yeah catch a mako by the tail.
The upper silhouette of the guy is bordered with a “photoshop” antialiased white strip that is clearly visible on the left part of the guys body and also runs on the eight part of the tail.
In my book this is fake
Yeah yeah catch a mako by the tail.
Wow seriously?
He tail roped it after reeling it in on a rod/reel. 
i cant agree with ur statement dude, but i dont think the photo is fake… you better take a closer look… the sun’s angle beams indirectly in its mouth or the jaw but it definitely lightens up the whole thing…
well, that’s just the way i see it…
i envy this man!!! how i wish i can wrestle some of ‘em…
rock on dude!!!!
I assure you it’s not fake. If you want to critique this image why not use the original? Most of the artifacts you point out are caused by the reduction of the image size.
Hey Nathan,
I disagree. These artifacts have nothing to do with image scaling.
For me this is a fake.
Believe me I know about digital/vector images. It’s my job.
No hard feelings but: Its a fake.
But I aint stuborn:
Where is the original image to be found?
Well, maybe you should quit your day job. He has multiple other pics of this same shark, and power pro had this picture in their catalog. I’m sure this pic is in many magazines/newpapers as well. You sir are beyong ignorant.
THIS IS A PHOTOSHOP WORK…WELL DONE ANYWAY
Well, Idon’t think so.
It’s a great picture none the less. IF it is real, wow! what a catch!
Hey, to all who believe this is a fake. Go to http://www.extremecoast.com. Send an e-mail to the owner: Eric Ozolins (Oz). I’m sure he will be happy to answer any questions you may have about his once in a lifetime catch. It pisses me off how quick people are to dis-credit others.
-Dan
believe me guys….!!! fake or not, those critics envy this man.. i envy him but i really really idolize him… he’s one of a heck!!!!
maybe someday i can wrestle one of ‘em someday…
The picture is quite real as others have stated. I believe the mako was around 10 ft long or just shy, anyhow caught on north padre island in Corpus Christi. The owner of Extremecoast.com (Oz pictured in the photograph) is quite the extreme angler and has pictures of himself and many others with some once if a life time catches on their website.
My name is Scott Nelson. I tailroped the fish and took the picture with a disposable camera. The fish was expertly caught by my buddy Eric Ozolins from the Padre Island National Seashore. The picture is not a fake and has not been photoshopped!
is that UPF?
One more thing. It’s really a joke to see people who have never done anything consequential in their lives cry “It’s fake” like little girls. I was there. It happened.
I know enough about Oz to know this is real. Great pic and great write-up!!
I’m glad some guys closer to this encounter have weighed in. My attempts were futile, but I think with the influx of guys from extremecoast checking in, adds a lot of validity to this awe inspiring pic
I emailed the photo to my Uncle not even questioning it. He is a graphics designer for Nasa and proved the pic real 100% and legit.
Eric great job as always and don’t listin to these guys telling you otherwise. This catch is sweet…………………………………………
Where is the original image?
Because this one is clearly P-H-O-T-O-S-H-O-P-P-E-D
Come on! such a great picture!
Where is the original: Ya know, I mean: Hi-rez.
or broadcast at least, if the catch was long time ago.
..Not on any web site.
..Not on google.
Come on! dont hide it! Let it show!
I wonder where it is..
>>One more thing. It’s really a joke to see people who have never done anything >>consequential in their lives cry “It’s fake†like little girls. I was there. It happened.
GOT A PROBLEM WITH SHARK AND LITTLE GIRLS?…
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
OK lets get serious. I understand you guys are shark maniacs.
Dont mean to brake ur dreams.
Take it eazy.
Fred, Just check out OZ’s web site. I’ve have known this fine young man since he was a teenager. He certainly does not need your acknowledgement to accuracy of this event – we all know to be true. Oz has caught more signficant fish in his short life than you will ever know. See all of Oz’s and his many friends fishing exploits at this link!
extremecoast.com/reports.htm
Hey FlakMAn,
I have nothing against OZ, and more generally against no one.
I already checked his website weeks ago: There are no picture approaching this one.
This image is just nowhere on earth. Also why would Scott Nelson take
only ONE picture?
The thing is I’m a computer geek and I know
my job. I worked for Boeing crisis center, Nasa, (there is some of MY imaging code running int the ISS), the US Navy (NSWC, Carderock division), the coast gards, the US corp of engineers and more other people than you will know.
So what I know:I know. I’m not saying this never was. I’m raising doubts on THIS image. The image not the guy. Another fact troubles me: when you read what others reknown anglers say about mako fishing…
OK?
But you know what….Let’s say I’m wrong.
I’m dead wrong.
The fact is that I dont really care.
And peace on earth.
Scott Nelson took several pictures of this fish and OZ with a little disposable camera. I have seen the originals in Scott’s home.
The pic is for real! You nee dto push away from your desk and go fishing!
Fred for your viewing!

Fred , Also check out this Penn Reel ad that ran in most major Saltwater Fishing Magazines. Penn reels vetted this same picture and used if in this ad!
pennreels.com/04_all_other/advertising/lg/145.htm
Hey FlakMan,
>>pennreels.com/04_all_other/advertising/lg/145.htm
Nothing there.
But you know, its not like if I had some kind of doubt..
0) If this picture was used in ads there must be a Hirez version somewhere.
1) Why are the others photos kept hidden?
2) Where is the original image
3) Why is this “once if a life time catch” picture not displayed on “extremecoast.com”
(They don’t like the photo?).
4) Why are my technical comments selectively pasted on extremecoast.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10522
5) Why is “Advertizing” the most frequent used word by you guys.
6) and for crying out loud: just zoom on the picture!
This story is fishy:
YOU WANT TO PROVE ME RIGHT: LETS SEE THIS IMAGE NICELY DISPLAYED
ON EXTREMECOAST.COM HOME PAGE. (Oz is the webmaster right?)SO ALL OTHER EXPERTS IN THE WORLD CAN SEE IT. IT DESERVES IT! NO? OF COURSE IT DOES!
but like I said
I’ll go for the reasonnable doubt thing:
I’m wrong.
You guys take care
And I’m out of here.
Final post Fred – take your pastey white face to look over to this
http://www.sharks.us/Fish_Stories/p2_articleid/15
and go fishing on the Padre Island National Shoreline. bring a 12/0 reel with a 1000 yards of 200# powerPro with 100 feet of 130# Sufix top shot with 15-ft of braided stainless leader with a 10# jack cravelle
tried the link out.. BAD! just another bunch of fat, insecure human males harrasing fish for no good reason… (“tagging” you say? for scientists’ research, huh? Nice fu*ing excuse – like animals that survived 400 milion years need tagging to prevail. The only threat to them is humans. Like it or not you’re one of them. If you really cared for them, you’d care more about banning commercial fishing etc. instead of making catching sharks a “Sport”, where you compete with other assholes about who catches a “bigger” one or who makes a “better” picture. Again it’s about Size and trying to impess other males.
And don’t even get me started on the food chain – if you’re from America – the Fat country: where people eat more than they can and should, how can you justify killing more animals than you already. I know it’s fun, I’ve one the same before – when i was a Kid
Now you talk.
OK YOU ARE RIGHT. I dont know what happend to the picture above
but I believe this story really took place.
Thereis nothing to say about the last, bottom picture displayed by the link.
It is clearly a mako with your pal in the same context and the image is definitely
free of any fixture.
Shoud have shown it in the first place.
I’ll sue you for wasting my time.
Nice snapshot Mr Scott Nelson.
OK?
Now if you’ll excuse me I need to tell my shark friends that dangerous human
are wandering along Padre Island National Shoreline.
Wow! I’m glad we finally got that taken care of. I tried to explain that the image changes (resize / sharpening / saturation) caused the image to show the artifacts you raised questions on, but I had the same problem you did in finding an original image to backup the story. The difference is I never question the authenticity of the story
Hey Nathan,
You’re absolutely right. The good thing is that I doubt that someone will questionned
the story now.
Hey, you’re right: I’ve been doing your job. Give me an address where I can post my invoice.
You take care my friend.
OZ is a hulking 7 foot chunk of muscle, who fathered the whole town of Marlin southeast of Waco, Texas. He taught me how to love a woman and scold a child. His excrement is used as currency in Brazil, and he uses a telephone pole as his long rod. To OZ, the King of the Beach and a son of a biscuit! (hiccup)
PS: feed Oz too many brad muffins and the price for food in Brazil goes up!
Praise Ozllah! Praise Ozllah! Praise ozllah!
YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks UPF,
I appreciate but let me tell you:
I am not like you guy’s: I prefer woman and I dont give a dime about Ozllah long rod.
well spoken, Bubba… (*a very sad emoticon here)
Looks like a good catch, however I am more into hunting only what you intend to eat. Catch and release is good for those who fish for sport, I fish for dinner. However it is a little different with me and my buddies. we are out there in open with water with spear guns instead of a reel. We go for sharks (blues, makos, and topes) jacks, tuna, mackerel, halibut, rockfish, lingcod, and flounder. (yes it is legal) We only go for our limit though and leave the rest alone.
now That is a healthy and respectful approach. Kill, eat, be eaten, whichever you opt for or whichever Happens, you’re part of a wonderful world. Catching and seriously harrasing an animal and calling it “sport” is an idea so full of stupid smelly human sh*t.. i just don’t have the fingers to express the disgrace justly. Take a look at those shots here http://www.sharks.us/Fish_Stories/p2_articleid/15 , and tell me if it doesn’t look pathetic. Some asshole, smarts out a fish out of the the water using bait… on a hook. Brilliant, isn’t it. He pulls the poor bustard out of its element just so he can compare and confirm that his dick is bigger than the bait he used. Sad F*n story, waste of time really…
i remember the first shark i ever caught i was 7 years old . we were fishing at surfside and icaught a 1 1/2 ft blacktip shark
need more taggers, sharks need to be studied! shark meat is great! but released sharks need to be tagged! for info on tags contact noaa in naragansett r. i.
I think we should tag you too! With a Shark repelling device. Planted deep, deep up your colon so that it stays there forever (and you can never get near a shark again – not in its element at least) You want to help sharks? Start tagging irresponsible assholes. I’ll not only clap, i’ll help any way I can.
k who the hell said the guy is going to kill the fish. u smelly hippies just shut up and u rednecks shut up, ITS JUST A PICTURE!!!!!!!
What is a “smelly hippie”.
I think that is a great photo, however when it has your kid it it’s mouth feel free to shout it’s ok it’s only natural. I was walking down the road and was feeling peckish however deciding not to eat my neighbours cat showed the difference between me and the shark population. Sharks are predatory…fine i can understand that but they will literally eat anything that looks like food. Are there not enough fish in the sea? or is it easier to get people who are not as agile in the water as other marine animals? seems to me like they’re happy to feast on the weak. so If you get it on land where were the dominant ones fair game I say.
So you think all sharks are bad now do you.
Take the whale shark it is harmfull to no one. People think it eats whales. no 
it acts like a whale it eats sardines shrimp and krill. Don’t judge untill you know the facts. Share
k do not know better it is there way of surviving. They are not smart creatures they have no clue how they are harming us if they take our toddler of the beach. They only think of it as surviving till sunday. They need us to survive. They need meat like we need water. I do not incorage shark attacks. It is just they can’t survive with out meat. If robbing a bank was the only way to save your child from starving you would do it. If you had to either kill your captors or be killed you would do it. If you either die or let your baby die you would do it. Well they have to do it. And if you were a shark even if you knew what harm it was doing……………….you w3ould do it. Don’t be afraid to reply back richard. I would always enjoy haqving a discusion/debate with some one as long as it was a happy healthy argument. Please if you do reply be mature. I can and i am only 11 years old
Funny stuff, about the cat and all… But altogether your way of thinking I don’t like. You imply that we should harass, rape, kill, f*ck, loot all the sharks out of the oceans, (and burn their villages) just so your clumsy, cross-eyed kids can have a “safe” dip in the water? (hmm.. you must be american…) Your analytic approach about dietary preferences of sharks and humans and the brilliant conclusions regarding the correlation of those preferences with the specimens intelligence were brilliant! You proved you are not stupid – you’re extremely stupid. But I can see that, unlike many here, you still are using your brain – Problem is that it’s like a monkey using a computer.
All the best nonetheless.
Sharks dont prey on the weak. They prey on the yummy. You seen Rodney Fox? He survived because the shark that bit him was after the fish on his belt. Not Him. Surfers that get bitten? You ever seen a surfer from beneath? They look like seals to me and they are yummy. So get off your frikin high horse you moron. You taste like shit.
Until you’ve had a shark steak you haven’t lived. I go 3x a year and eat all i catch and give some away. There needs to be some balance in nature considering, not too many fish can take out a shark…
shark steak is great and when that runs out i’ll just go back to tuna.
nice picture it’s a really realistic looking shark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is most likley because it is a real shark. Not trying to embaress you
but next time read the artical better.
Shark pic chick
hey where abouts do you go to catch a shark
and what kinds are the easiest 
. and here is an idea 
if you try to take a shark pick make it look more realistic by taking it from a diferent angle 
sorry 
i am just realy into photography im not that mean 
anyway i do find this very interesting 
do you have any otherpics of a different kind of shark or a large fish maybe 
you must think i am crazy 
talking so much to somone i don’t know i only loved his picture. I
i agree how are you going to kill sharks just for the enjoyment of doing it they are considered nature and so are we so if you want to kill them kill yourself do us all a favor and keep the sharks where they belong which is in the ocean
How about a Grizzly fighting a shark? A picture like that would be as accurate as this one…. shame!!!
you hippies are dumb, just shut the hell up if you feel so bad for them than why dont you just go take a swim with one, hua make it feel all warm and cozy inside, as for me and any other sportsman out there, we are goin to do what people on this earth have done for centurys and put a hook in there lip.
Get R Done
Up until i saw sharkwater, my views of sharks were that portrayed in the movie Jaws. I was terrified of them. Now i want to go dive with them to overcome my fear and to better understand them. They are beautiful creatures and like most of the ocean wildlife are in decline due to human greed. I have never eaten shark, nor will I. I believe they should be left alone. One place sharks thrive is the Bahamas because it is illegal to catch them and the Bahamian government banned long line fishing years ago. I can’t wait to be up close and intimate with one IN THE WATER. Not on land like this picture. It’s a cool shot but leave them alone. It’s nothing more than being a human bully.
