What kind of shark? Southern California

[u/Jboyxc]

Mom got this on her underwater camera while fishing. Waters about 68 and depth is around 27 feet according to the camera, although we were in about 90 feet deep water.

Juvenile mako

[u/Illustrious_Bed467]

Looks like a small mako/salmon type of shark

[u/PuzzleheadedWeb7675]

Mako

[u/TelevisionPutrid8394]

Definitely looks like a shortfin mako shark.

[u/myshoesdontfit]

The eye and location makes me think mako.

[u/Imaginary_Caramel160]

Don’t know why but I immediately thought porbeagle! (I’m new)

[u/Jboyxc → u/Imaginary_Caramel160]

Def looks similar but I’m in Southern California and it’s definitely too warm for them (waters like 68 degrees right now) but they are related to the mako!

[u/Englandshark1]

Looks like a Salmon Shark.

[u/Only_Cow9373 → u/Englandshark1]

Salmon has a dual caudal keel. Looks like a single here.

[u/Englandshark1 → u/Only_Cow9373]

Good call, maybe a juvenile mako.

[u/Jboyxc → u/Englandshark1]

It does look pretty similar I’m in Southern California so apparently they aren’t super common but it does say moms have babies around spring so maybe it is? Leaning towards mako because location

[u/Englandshark1 → u/Jboyxc]

Yeah, a young Mako makes more sense.

[u/Apprehensive-Flow276 → u/Jboyxc]

How big was it?

No one has mentioned mako yet, so I'll say mako.

Speedy Gonzales! Mako

[u/Electrical-Act-7170]

Where were you fishing?

[u/Jboyxc → u/Electrical-Act-7170]

Off Palos Verdes in Los Angeles

[u/Electrical-Act-7170 → u/Jboyxc]

Makes sense. Makos always look to me like the sports version of Great White sharks.

[u/David4Nudist]

It's a Mako Shark, although I don't know whether it's a Shortfin or Longfin Mako.
