R. Colina Hauls

On Trolling Trip
On one of his many trolling ex-
cursions around the island, Ro-
sendo Colina and two friends
hauled in a prize catch off the
Seroe Colorado Point early in
March. The unusual catch was
a rare and dangerous shark
which he caught while trolling
for wahoes east of the Seroe
Colorado Point. That day Ro-
sendo, an Acting Mechanical
Supervisor in Mechanical-M&C,
General, had as his companions
Pedro Danje of Mechanical-
Boiler Shop and Lago Annuit-
ant Nicolas de Kort
Believing at first that they
had caught a wahoe, they
struggled with the fish for al-
most an hour until they man-
aged to land it aboard their 16-
ft. boat. The six-foot, 100-kilo
fish turned out to be one of the
most dangerous wahoe- type
sharks, called mako shark or
blue pointer.
Rarely seen in the Caribbean
area, this fish is generally found
in Australian and New Zealand
waters. Many professional and
long-time fishermen in Aruba
say they have seldom seen one
of this type of shark. Unlike a
common shark, the mako shark
has a horizontal tail resembling
that of a dolphin or porpoise.
"Though people usually don't
eat the meat of sharks, the ma-
ko shark's meat tastes much
like that of the wahoe," says
Rosendo.
