Absolutely delicious! I like it better than swordfish! Steaks, not fillets. Marinate 1" steaks in garlic, butter, lemon, and soy/teryaki. On the grill, medium heat, 3-4 mins a side.
Market Basket (R.I.P. [sad2]) had them from time to time.
Pulled a shark out of the surf in the Cape Cod bay Saturday. Still trying to decide what type it is. Narrowed down to either black tip, mako or tiger.
That's pretty awesome. Apparently makos are good eatin'? I was just reading about them on wiki and saw this
Can't say I've ever seen mako at the supermarket though.
We were up in the Finger Lakes of NYS visiting family last weekend.
Stopped by some of the farm ponds from my youth. Kids had fun catching tons of bass all about the same size due to stunted growth from way too many fish in a very small pond.
Last cast of the night my 12 yo daughter plops a jitterbug under a willow branch and this beast emerged!
One of the biggest LMB I've handled.....Maybe 6.5 - 6.75lbs?
Length is about 26".
I am not good at gauging weight - how big does it look to you?

BTW, this fish was relocated to a bigger pond across the road where our farmer friend was trying to boos the fish population.
Very nice fish, looks like between 5 and 6 pounds. Hard to tell. A 26 inch Bass is pretty much unheard of this far north. Down south a fish that long is well over 10 pounds and almost all of those are florida strain or F1 hybrids.
Typically a mid summer fish over 6 pounds is around 22 to 23 inches.
Tuesday and today were pretty good days out
on the water
If I was holding a striper like that I'd have a much bigger smile. That's a real nice fish.
You don't have to catch fish for it to be a "good day on the water"…nice fish!!Tuesday and today were pretty good days out

Great looking catch…hope he hooks the 50# soon!I had one goal this weekend, to get my son on some nice fish. Mission accomplished! He tied his personal best with a 28#(first pic) and beat it with the next one 32# , watching this kid put the boots to big fish makes my day.These fish were released to get bigger , hopefully he'll find them again when they're 50s.

My dad caught this beast on the second cast this morning. Our little pond has been very productive this year.
When we where launching the kayaks a guy and his son told us not to bother this place sucks. We just laughed, we fish there at least twice a week and always do well.WOW !!!
