Re: Possible record Mako caught

Makos need to be around 600 pounds to reach sexual maturity. "Both male and female Shortfin Mako Sharks reach sexual maturity
at an age of 4–6 years. This corresponds to a total length of 200cm
for males and 275cm for females".
So this fish was mature & had the chance to reproduce. It will do a great deal of good being studied. I am sure Researchdude can fill us in on the importance of having specimens like this to study. The tree hugger in the story sounds like a real beauty.
