![]() I would say mako! Had a similar incident a little while back. Fishing a reef in 50 metres with an inchiku. No action, retrieving back fast to move spot and boom! Fastest run I have ever seen. Had fun for a minute, then gone. Both Kaveman jigging hooks broken or bitten through. Those hooks are brilliant and I have complete faith in them, so something toothy I'm guessing. Mako do take softies and jigs. |

That would be 10/10 for cruelty :) Lester - have hooked one shark in that area on a softbait and and another on an SPJ - both times little Blue sharks - but neither gave the fight you experienced. Bad luck ! |
![]() all up, the worst trip i've had to that eastern side of Kawau in terms of the lack of snapper. Maybe a couple of weeks too late.

![]() Hammer head? We've had them take softbaits. |
![]() I have a extremely high level of confidence it had Gills. Anything else would just be speculative 😂 |
