Wow! Shark Jumps On a Boat in Maine!

Bob Bronson September 14th, 2022
Mako onboard a fishing boat!

I don’t know what to mako of this? This past August in Monhegan, Maine  the crew and guests of the charter fishing boat Lady Anne caught and released two blue sharks one day late last month when they hooked another shark … and realized it was a mako.

They are going to need a bigger boat

As they watched the shark’s “acrobatics” from the boat, the 7-foot-long shark suddenly leaped onto the deck of the Lady Anne.

The good news is neither the shark nor any people were injured as they measured and tagged the mako and it headed back into the sea, according to Chris Kingsbury, who recorded the video.

He says it was a “once in a lifetime experience”, let’s hope.

August 27, 2022: Midcoast Maine: On board FV Lady Anne … this happened. A lovely day shark fishing with two beautiful blue sharks tagged and released when a big mako took the bait. Everyone was enjoying the acrobatics of the mako when …. (Watch video clip). A once-in-a-lifetime experience! Thankfully, no one on board was injured! Astonishingly, the mako was measured, tagged, nudged toward the transom door and released. Dave and Cameron did an incredible job keeping people (and the mako) safe. We want to acknowledge Chris Kingsbury and his band of boys for their cool heads, assistance, and this awesome video.

Discovery Shark Week On The Cape!

Discovery’s Shark Week just kicked off for it’s 34th year on Sunday, July 24th. One of the biggest changes in our area has been how much the identity of Cape Cod has become for the population of White Sharks! This year’s Shark Week has a show that focuses on the White Sharks down on The Cape.

  • "Monsters of the Cape"

    The Discovery description of the show says: “Shark Week Veterans Dr. Craig O’Connell and Mark Rackley dive into the great white-infested waters off of Cape Cod looking to test cutting-edge shark deterrents to help keep the waters of the Cape safe for both beachgoers and sharks, before it’s too late.”

  • “Great White Intersection"

    Shark Week will also feature a discovery+ exclusive that focuses on Cape Cod. “Great White Intersection,” which starts streaming on Saturday, focuses on the fatal shark attack of Arthur Medici, 26, a Revere surfer who in 2018 was killed by a great white off of Newcomb Hollow Beach in Wellfleet. It was Massachusetts’ first fatal shark bite in 82 years.
