There's a shark in my kayak... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Its a solid carbon Fladen Maxximus rod with fuji concept braid eyes (I don't like the eyes - they have a habit of cracking).

That shark is bending and twisting thinking " I'm gone bite this guy if I get the chance." Nice C&R

Nice video. Looks like you've handled those guys before. I wouldn't be letting one on my lap with the size of that mouth.

Cool video, that thing got his mouth too close to your jugular for my liking. Good job

Cool video!

that is a great video, and yes it does look like you have done that before, IMO, I don't think my huevos are large enough to bring it on board....

great job bravo...

That shark's business end is a little too close to MY business end!

Hope you are wearing a cup!

I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous ! But it was my first shark in the kayak, and I had waited a long time to catch that fish. So I was determined to get it on board and get some video/pictures.

It did take a rather large chunk out of my rod handle (battle scars !) and a small chunk out of my dry suit 0- but the crown jewels are safe !

I probably would release alongside the yak next time - but I have to say, that it was a blast !
