Thanks for confirming that! 

Someone told me that out on IBSP yesterday and I almost laughed at them.  I thought a mako in the the bay rofla??  Then I thought, before I insert my foot in my mouth, I will just go along with the person.  I kept thinking anything is possible, even something a little far off like that!  ...And sure enough it is true!!

Thanks.

i also heard the story.  Anything is possible when the bait is this close to the beach this time of year, but this fish could have came from anywhere and just drifted to the shore line.
