Humbling Experience - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I can relate to your flip experience. One of the many times I had flipped, I was in shallow water - basically sitting on the sand in neck deep water. When I tried to stand, I couldn't. My PFD snagged on something on the kayak - I'm thinking maybe the seat. With waves coming over and not being able to stand up, yeah, a bit of panic sets in, but with the next attempt the PFD was freed. Not an easy feeling when something pins you down. In the video, I did wonder for a second why you weren't coming right up - it wasn't like it was 8ft deep there and you were swimming around.
