Very expensive shark bait

[J]

My brother is a Sat Tech on a commercial dive vessel, I got these pics from him, the machine you see is an ROV use to do underwater work....

And he tells me they are not allowed fishing from the vessel:fishn

You could be right . The body does look a little odd. Where are the Mako/ Raggie pro's? The teeth look typical raggie though.

yip it is mako went and made sure - ist picture looks similar to GW body and teeth had me but went and checked my reference books and yip its a mako.

but still a greedy bugger

Young Mako. Check the area JUST before the tail, its sort of flattened, much like a Yellowfin tuna's tail section.......

Sometimes you also get Porbeagle sharks in the deep water, they look similar to Mako's, but they are usually shorter and stokier and a bit more grey than the Makos! We used to get some big buggers on the surface longline! They also dont mind the colder water as we even caught a couple of them down at marion Island while fishing for Patagonian toothfish!

I am not saying that these pics are not a Mako.......

 

Here is a pic of a Porbeagle...

@J , I have a comp this Saturday , do you think there is any chance your boet can lend me his ROV for the weekend?

 

[J]

lol... yeah I will ask him, you will need a big sinker to slide it though

That looks like a maco to me, a GW pup has the same teeth as a mako but it does not have the blue tint that the mako has, it is more dark grey. it could very wel be a young GW!
