Mako sharks are apex predators who terrorize their ocean prey with their speed and power. Found up and down both coasts of the United States, and down into the Caribbean, over near Hawaii, and pretty much everywhere in between, these predators can reach lengths of 12 feet, and weigh up to 1,000 pounds. They use their razor sharp teeth to eat tuna, swordfish and squid, and with a top speed of over 45 miles per hour, they are the fastest of any shark species.

Their insane speeds also allow them to make some incredible leaps, coming fully out of the water. Sounds like a sport fisherman’s dream, right? Well... until they take your catch.

For a group of anglers off the coast of the California, the tax man came in August. The group was hooked into a bluefin tuna near San Diego, reeled it to the boat, gaffed it, and out of nowhere, a big ol' mako shark came to snag a bite.

At least they got a show...

Big changes are in store for three zodiac signs in the month of September. The stars are shifting and many of you will be affected by this. Although the life changes that will take place with each zodiac sign are different, these changes must be fully embraced by all who are experiencing them. One of the key things to remember is that sometimes change is necessary for personal growth. Let’s see what the stars have in store for these three zodiac signs.

Well, that certainly made a big splash, didn't it? A superyacht had a Titanic moment in the Chesapeake Bay over the weekend. Sadly, there were no Leonardo Dicaprio cosplayers on board. However, the boat ended up going under the sea — sort of. The superyacht was so big that...

When you think about beautiful, crisp Alaskan landscapes, you might also picture the bustling activity of the Bering Sea – a hub for seafood like snow crabs. But what if the landscape is changing, and not just visually? In the last few years, billions of crabs disappeared from the Bering Sea and the event has alarmed both fishermen and scientists alike.

Catch and release – via wrestling move. The catch and release method isn’t always the flashiest form of fishing, but this angler is trying to single handedly change that perception. He turned a regular release of a hefty tuna fish into a spectacle straight out of the WWE. If PETA asks, this guy was just trying to break the surface of the water to soften the landing for the fish.

Ocean Vs. Sea: What’s The Difference?

Every land-based shark fisherman has their own “magic” bait. For some, it’s the bloody head of a cocktail-sized bluefish or bonito caught earlier in the day—as fresh as it gets. Others prefer an oily, fresh (or recently-frozen) chunk of menhaden, and some are more inclined to favor the serpentine wriggle of a live or dead eel undulating in the waves. For Brendan Ryder of Massachusetts, the latter is typically his go-to bait, but he never imagined one of his eels would be scooped up by a juvenile tiger shark on Cape Cod.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

I’ve tested an awful lot of boating gear through the years, and sometimes the best boat mod you make turns out to be something you didn’t expect to even like. Case in point: The Scanstrut Rokk Edge 10. It sells for under $150, takes all of 20 minutes to install, and once you have one on your boat you’ll wonder how you ever survived without it.

A great white shark thrilled anglers recently in Cape Cod Bay by following a hooked striped bass to their boat and leaving them with only its head.
The accompanying footage, captured outside Rock Harbor and shared Sunday by Cape Cod Incidents, begins with an angler reeling the striper to the boat with the shark apparently holding on but not resisting.
“He’s swimming to us,” one angler observes.
“He didn’t let go,” another cautions.

The excitement ramps up as the group realizes the shark is only feet away: “He’s right there!”
Within seconds, though, the angler who was fighting the striped bass is left with only...
