Might be some lessons learned from this:

Exactly what happens when inexperienced people take internet advice of "Just do it".

This is the YouTube description: After Captain Ben Chancey hooked into a Giant Shark, the fish pulled him and his boat all over the Ocean off the coast of Stuart, FL then suddenly the Huge Shark flipped over the fisherman and his boat. Once Captain Ben gets flipped into the water he swims for his life to the support boat and then hops back in the kayak to finish catching the Giant Shark. This is one of the most amazingly funny Fail and Win combos ever seen in a fishing video in my opinion.

Lol some captain...

That was not a White, Thresher or a Mako. any of which could have done major damage to yak and angler.

ful-rac · 07-01-2015, 05:42 PM

Well that was stupid.....

"Grab the kayak jump back in" LMAO

FISH11 · 07-01-2015, 06:19 PM

What an F***in IDIOT! Lucky that wasn't a Great White or Mako or Bull shark.

Lol, my buddy at work showed me this today. I knew somebody was bound to post this. Crazy stuff

Handymansd · 07-02-2015, 02:09 AM

No words... Ok maybe one, IDIOT!

Did anyone notice the size tackle he was using? If I'm not mistaken he's using 130# class tackle (based on the rod NOT on the reel, probably using 130# spectra on a smaller 50 size reel).
The tackle itself tells me he was asking for trouble! If that had been a giant Goliath Grouper it probably would have sunk that Kayak too! NOT the sharpest tool in the shed...LMAO!
Just another BOZO trying to get some attention!
I agree with Mark, he's lucky that wasn't a more aggressive shark. If it had been a Bull he could have been "bait" with all the splashing he was doing.

bob,

Were you able to tell what kind it was?

I though it might have been a bull...?

Bert Vega · 07-02-2015, 09:00 AM

I would rather it be GW or mako then a bull shark!

Iceman · 07-02-2015, 10:53 AM

We really need to squash this idiot faction of thrill seeking "kayak fishermen" it is embarrassing! if I see another one of those goliath grouper from a kayak videos I am going to reach through the inter web and strangle them!

cabojohn · 07-02-2015, 11:13 AM

I was cheering for the fish. For me, it wasn't a happy ending.

stupid kayak tricks. pfffffftt

Dail14 · 07-02-2015, 11:33 AM

Did anyone notice the rope? He was trying to catch and kill the shark. The width of its head suggests it was a bull shark.
