As a form of measuring tape, I bought one of these Brag Matts from our fellow kayak anglers down under in Noosa, Australia. Looking forward to catching a fish that makes it into the yellow Yeehaw Zone!

Descender

Nice selection of options. I gave a donation in exchange for decender from that website, and the wire device they sent me was much cheaper quality than the ones you have there. I use a down rigger for descending big groupers, even with 6lbs of lead, they sink back down slowly.

An aggressive Hammerhead shark decided to soak me with a tail lash of saltwater

Great photo 📸 looks big .

Thanks, the photo is a video still from a GoPro.

I had been fishing a small tuna on a 200lb leader with a 100lb braid mainline over a deep wreck when I hooked a big shark. Rather than break the shark off near the kayak, I Broke it off deep and wound up my leader for inspection. While inspecting the leader, the Hammerhead came charging at the kayak. At the last moment, she turned and splashed me with a heavy water spray. The water temp was around 80 degrees, so it actually felt good to get cooled off.

I had a bunch of strips of tuna cut up in the kayak for Mahi chum, so I am sure there was plenty of fresh fish sent oozing off the kayak. After the initial splash, the shark aggressively circled the kayak for several minutes before drifting back into the deep.

I wonder if the shark breaking off the rig and the charging shark are related incidents or independent. I have had hammerhead swim up and ram the kayak before, but that's the only time I have gotten soaked by a tail lash. Thankfully the yum yum yellow color and the scent of fresh kill onboard has never induced a shark to bite the kayak.

Wow......
 

Your really pushing the envelope....stay safe we don't want to read a casualty at sea.but do enjoy the videos and still shot posts.good luck.

I hooked 3 hammerhead in one day and broke them off as by catch

Wow Mitch,
3 Hammerheads is a lot for one day! I don't think I have seen that many in one day. Usually one or two, one time a huge one alongside, was very humbling.

Yes, The rig is for groupers. The groupers are cautious here. If they see the weight, they get lockjaw. The method is to have 40ft or more leader from the weight. I attach the weight with a rubberband so that it can be pulled off as I reel up.

Out of a dozen tries, I have managed to pull one Grouper out of the wrecks and taken many by-catch species. :reel::reel:

Ya- la Jolla that year was full of hammerheads
 

The first one I hooked in deep water, right off Scripps pier.
It had about a 2ft hammer and as long as my kayak it took me on a good sled ride. As soon as I pulled it up next to my kayak, I cut the line. My only regrets is after the guy in a pro angler caught up to me, he said he had a go pro we could have got some footage. He couldn't believe how fast and far it pulled me I had no idea. I just kept my pole between my legs and held on. 2ft away is to close for comfort. The other 2 I knew what they were and I just thumb the spool and snapped the line.
I met the other guy that day at the launch and I'm glad we fished together because we both warned each other that a hammerhead was on your tail.

Mack

King Mackerel is one of the most spectacular fish to be taken off a kayak. They are not as good eating or prestigious as a Wahoo, but their method of attack is very similar.

Racing in at full speed to cut the propellor off the bait, they are frequently taken on a back stinger hook. If the stinger misses, they are often hooked when they swim back to eat the second half of the bait. I have had instances when they hit so hard, that they bit through the 40lb wire stinger, but then got hooked on the return bite. They will sometimes jump 4-40ft out of the water to attack a bait. The first run is a screamer, and that is where the big ones get the name smokers. They also make a good smoked fish spread.
