I got a video of the Great White Today! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I looked like it was about 200lbs and 10 feet long

your lucky to be alive. No doubt, this confirms Red Kayaks attract dangerous man-eating fish.

Years ago I was fishing right at the kelp line off San Elejo. I was a on a paddle board with my feet in the water. A huge freakin mola rolled up like 5 feet behind me. I just saw it out of the corner of my eye at first and in the time it took me to turn my head around and make positive ID my pulse went from like 60 to 150. Strang how in the ocean a 500lb animal can get that damn close to you. Mike

They are cool fish! I remember one was following me around for a good 10 -15 minutes. That big eye just staring at me. Kinda like a dog waiting for a treat.

I was on a 2 day trip last year when a fellow angler accidentally hooked one.

For something that's built like a manhole cover with fins, that thing ripped off some lineage before going airborne. Luckily the hook pulled, but for a second there, we weren't sure how that fight was going to end.

I have never seen one before. Great video, thanks.

Norhing like working the water in a skiff all day looking for tuna or marlin....out of your mind after being in the sun all day, then you spot a dozen fins...thinking six marlin in a group.

You run that way while hooking up a mackie, being carefull not to put the hook through your hand.....only to be dissapointed that it's a huge pod of schooling molas.

But disapointment is short lived when you realize the molas are really interested in your boat. They circle, bugging out their funny eyes. They're primevil critters and useless for food, so you begrudgingly respect them for just being critters in the ocean.

I've seen more cool shit in the ocean than you can shake a stick at. Guys who don't get on the ocean are really missing out.

Mola molas....way cool....just because.
