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.![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")
Got some a few years ago and the wife had a "crunch" in her steak and spit out 4-5 #4 lead shot.
No blacktips up here, makos are 99% an offshore species as are Tigers too. My guess is it is a sand tiger shark although the pictures are not very good for identification. It is a long skinny body type which pretty much rules it out as mako, tiger or blacktip also.

The Sole Proprietor in Worcester makes an awesome blackened Mako steak! And they have a fish market attached too if you want to cook your own.
Some updated pics of the yak. I installed a couple U-stands & an outrigger/pontoon system from Stand-N-Fish. I also rigged up a Dragonfly fish finder. I just finished building a custom, through the hull, trolling motor mount out of HDPE (Starboard). The motor is a 56 lb thrust electric, remote motor from Island Hoppers Outboards.
Apologies to Madball13. Thanks for the offer for tomorrow. I can't make it. But I do need to get this rig on the water soon to test out the new additions

More brookies-last Friday.
These were caught last Wednesday. The first picture is the brook trout fisherman's version of the finding the Grail-a new beaver pond. It's so new that the flooded vegetation hasn't even died yet.

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.

The one in my pic was 6 3/4 lbs yours looks a little fatter but maybe not as long. either way nice catch!
I don't think a fish that size is going to boost the other pond more likely it will eat anything it can fit in its mouth!

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.

Thanks! Yea, my estimate on length was based on my sandal being 12" end to end.........My daughter is still bragging to her brothers......
If I was holding a striper like that I'd have a much bigger smile. That's a real nice fish.
Haha I've been dead tired all day and the sun was beaming on my face. Thanks!
You don't have to catch fish for it to be a "good day on the water"…nice fish!!
I stand by what I said still! Thank you, but I owe you some credit for these!
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.

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 !!!
Champlain smallie. Caught a bunch this size, but not much bigger. A few obligatory pike, though the biggest two (15-20 lbs) stole our lures near the boat (no leaders).
Had some nice sunsets, though.
