Gray Taxidermy was recently commissioned to replicate the Current IGFA World Record Mako Shark

Gray Taxidermy was recently commission to replicate the Current IGFA World Record Mako for Nancy's Restaurant & Snack Bar Located on Martha's Vineyard in Oak Bluffs since 1960.  The current IGFA World Record Mako was caught during the July 21, 2001 Oak Bluffs Monster Shark Tournament off of Chatham, Mass. which requires all its participants to follow IGFA rules.

This IGFA World Record Mako was caught by Gray Taxidermy’s very own, Captain Chris Peters, angler Luke Sweeney, and crewmen Doug Abdelnour and Dave Gaffey after a wild 3 hour battle.  When this shark was finally brought into port and weighed it was a whopping 1,221 lbs. and broke the record for the heaviest short-fin Mako. Check out the picture below of this monster. If it doesn’t get you motivated to go shark fishing off of the east coast I don’t know what will!
