Pretty cool footage although reminds me of a couple other guys. 1 went swimming with giant stingrays, the other thought he was part of a grizzly bear family. These stories seem to never end happily for the individuals

These stories seem to never end happily for the individuals[/QUOTE]

usually just a matter of time.

I had a positive interaction with one last summer but thankfully it appeared to stay about 20 yards from the kayak. Lessons learned: 1- don't forget catch bag 2- don't hang two nice size Calicos from side of kayak with my game clip.3- if it looks too big to be a thresher, it's probably not a thresher 4- they don't like Spanish Mackerals on the fly line or carolina rig (does anything)...dorsal fin to caudal fin was about 7-8 ft.....sorry no pics
