my friend caught a 375lb mako out of port aransas on dolphin docks on the 4th. they have a good crew and a great capt.

Which boat? I'm having to chuckle a little 'cause I bet a number of folks didn't get to fish as much as they wanted for having to move so the Mako could go by....LOL! I know sometimes the fish stay out and sometimes they go around the boat constantly....which one did this do? Timmy, 1st mate on the Express, was trying for a big mako a couple years ago when he caught the current world record Black Grouper...ya never know. Give me a little more detail as I fish w/ DD quite often.

yummmy!! grilled shark steaks!!! Nice job! I would love to have a Mako hit the deck!

hey babaloo it went around the boat a time or 2 but it only took 10-15minuutes to get in.it was on the dolphin express.

Hope you saved the claspers for the Doc.....

Wow nice catch !! Do you have any pictures you can post !! I saw DDs booth at the show, and got some information from the guy working it. I have heard people say they catsh alot of fish !! Im gonna give them a try this summer for shark !!

Brandon.. Dolphin Docks has good capatains,crew. but the boats move SLLLLOOOOWWWWWWW. Deep Sea Headquarters has good capatains, crew and boats move nicely. (equates to more fishing time). For a shark trip I would charter a smaller boat for 4-6 people. I talked to a guy across the booth from ours - and will be using him this spring for a shark, snapper trip. Reel Threels out of freeport. he has a nice setup with lodging right at the dock.

That's a great catch! For those of you wanting to do some shark fishing, you don't have to charter a boat. LOT'S of sharks can be caught from the surf. It's cheap, loads of fun, and catching and releasing a huge shark on the beach is an amazing rush!

Man it is refreashing to see no one get bashed for keeping a legal fish. Unlike some other boards. Great catch!!

i got a picture on my phone but i dont know how to post pictures. i got alot of pictures to show yall but i am computer retatrded

Wow Randy...what a feat. The last time I was on the Express I broke off something big (my own rig) and about 20min later a guy hooked an 8' hammerhead....fought about 30 min on boat rig, got it to the rail and it broke off. It was neat for everyone to get a close look before it went back - one of those quick releases..LOL! Thanks for the report and additional info.

Thanks Randy...cool info. I love the Express, Tim, the crew and the whole thing...wish I could go more often. Sorry, I didn't think the first one worked....double post....forgive the inconvenience.

Hey Randy- If you want to email the pics to me, I'll post them for you!
