Great!? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

GregAndrew · 11-22-2016, 08:29 PM

Been pretty slow for me the last couple of months unless you count the sharks. Been donating gear to Soupfins and Leopards on a fairly regular basis. Ended a couple trips early when I ran out of sinkers. Only highlight, other than some interesting bait behavior, came on another "Nat Geo Moment" on Sat.

Yeah but you'll only lose some skin from those things.

What's going on with the shark's dorsal fin?

taggermike · 11-23-2016, 09:03 AM

Great vid. Damn what a beautiful animal.
Mr. NiceGuy. Those a parasitic copepods. Similar to the sea lice you find on yellow tail. The strings off the back are eggs I believe. Mike

Check out and compare the features of the tail in the two videos..............we might have a permanent resident in Santa Monica Bay

I saw another fish that looked about the same size as the one in your video a couple months ago. But I figured it was a Mako, since it was shorter than the average birth length of 5'. This one was no more than 7' (I don't think). Hard to imagine a litter of 2 to 10 of those at 5'
