Riley Elliott Instagram – And then they re-emerge from the depths. The deed done. Incredible how sharks have been capable to keep this secret from humanity for so long. Now these two will seperate. Mum to brood her pups in the warm summer shallows while the male will segregate to better pastures and more food.
Riley Elliott Instagram – The shark forecast is spicy today with Mako sharks landing on boats out front of my house today! 
Good to see these fishermen @churchyschartersnz were respectful enough not to try and go up there to protect their window wipers but rather wait for the highly intelligent mako to realise it got the gymnastics routine wrong and wiggle back in.  In all honestly and seriousness this is unfortunately the most common way ‘shark attacks’ by Mako sharks happen. When they are hooked on a line, and start to go airborne in panic and effort to rid this foreign thing in their jaw and they sometimes land in the boat. As stated by these fishermen, they were happy it didn’t land in the back of the boat as that’s a whole different kettle of fish. If you are jigging or live baiting for kingfish, this is usually when catching Mako can occur. It’s a difficult scenario as you do NOT want the shark to take a bunch of line, and you panic and cut the nylon, because that shark will tow that deadly line around for the rest of its life, slowly but surely becoming entangled. On the other hand many people are scared of getting close to a shark, which is fair enough, and will now be a bit more afraid of one landing in the boat. But best practise if you hook a shark is to get it to the boat safely and respectfully and cut the nylon right beside the hook. This keeps the shark in the water, you safe on the boat and the hook will rust out easy as. The better practise is to try and avoid catching sharks where possible by not intentionally hooking one that comes around the boat, as it’s just not worth the risks, to you or the shark. Overall the greater message is, this was likely an experience that made men feel a little bit scared for a moment, then likely some empathy for what is a literal fish out of water, then some relief when it got back in, for their sake and the sharks. And that’s all good vibes. But as someone who’s had a Great White jump in the back of their boat once before, it can be a much riskier experience, so remember, respect the ocean, wear a life jacket, watch the weather, and get a coastguard membership as the sea itself is far more dangerous than even a shark on your boat ;)
