This highly entertaining book, a combination of historical analysis and captivating storytelling, features the currently known 98 mako shark captures from around the British Isles from the 1950s to the present day. It also details a host of other mako shark encounters, including some humorous anecdotes about the ‘ones that got away’ and is a comprehensive looking glass into some of richest history British angling has to offer.

Finished in navy cloth, with a gold foil spine and dust jacket, the book contains nearly 300 pages of fascinating content printed in colour, and serves as an excellent, comprehensive reference guide to one of the rarest and most coveted big game fish species found in the British Isles.

The book contains a number of noteworthy contributors, including Trevor Housby, Robin Vinnicombe, Mike Millman and many, many more. It also has a host of previously unseen material, including a transcript of Alan Dingle’s conversation with the author, the legendary skipper at the helm during the capture of Joyce Yallop’s iconic current British record mako of 500 lbs caught in 1971.
