Great stuff! That Mako must have put up a nice fight. Even the smaller ones are line strippers of note.
I have found that makkies and bonnies are the best here too.
Live swim baits work really well. We also often slide the head of a dorado(dolphin fish). Bullsharks seem to like heads. We are also using steel traces followed by a windon leader of 8to10m. For the really big bulls I go as heavy as 300lb steel. I have found that windon leaders allow you to really whack the cast without fear of breaking the line on the initial windup.
