Shark Chased Fish
Frequently a King Mackeral will skyrocket to attack a bait, but I have never had one jump after it was hooked.
As it turns out, the King jumped to avoid being eaten by a shark! Once I saw the shark, I free-spooled the fish so that it could outrun the shark. Surprising me, the King Mackerel headed straight for my kayak. With the Hammerhead not far behind in hot pursuit. The shark took one look at the kayak and veered off never to be seen again. I have lost my fair share of fish right at the kayak to sharks, so this was a welcome change. After I was convinced the shark was gone, I put the reel back in gear and landed the fish. |
