There are 2 species of mako shark: short fin which is found in northern waters and long fin, found in warmer climes. In the short fin, 91kg-272kg (200lbs -600lbs) are common. The largest (verified) shortfin caught in Mass was some 590kg (1300lbs) . Supposedly, a female can reach some 770kg (1700lbs) c.f. http://newenglandsharks.com/shortfin.htm
