Tokyo Bay Sharks

[philr21]

Always checking out the board, but since I'm stationed in Japan, don't really post on here. But this was a cool experience for me, biggest fish from the yak, and since a cousin to SoCal's leopards thought ya'll may be interested.

I've wanted to get one of these dochizame as they are called locally from the kayak for some time. With a bit of planning and the weather forecast lining up, the ishimochi (croaker) moving in close to the base and brought the sharks with them. Decided it was time to make a trip out and see how the day went.

Got a suzuki seabass to start, then horse mackeral, croaker, whiting, (all of which made good bait), tasty conger eel, a greenling, and 3 sharks. These guys are cousin's to California's leopard sharks. Taste the same, look similar, fight the same and eat the same baits.

All in all, turned out to be an awesome time. Enjoy the pics and video. Have more video but just uploading the one of the biggest shark for now.
