La Jolla 12-31-13 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Yes that is my 65lb braid and had a wire leader. I quickly realized that after engaging the reel thinking maybe the line was just around and would pull away, but no..ooh. My pole quickly bent over fast and the kayak turned and started on a sleigh ride. I figured even if I let out more line out to allow for the depth he would dive to, there was no way that line was going to break loose and did not want to get spooled. So I quickly reached for my knife and cut the braided line. When he took the line and the reel started screaming I just started laughing, because I could not believe it was really happening. Those last two pictures are stills I pulled from the end of the video I was taking with my nikon coolpix and cell phone at the same time. Had to turn both off, just before cutting the line. The 1080p video is cool, just wish I had taken off my polarized glassed because it made it hard to see the screens and keep the video on target more of the time. It was quite the experience. It rates up there with the Mako shark I caught in August.

This is a link to the high definition video I took on 12-31-13 of La Jolla. The software youtube used to try and take some of the shakiness of the video make the fishing pole look like it flexes. Should not have used that feature. http://youtu.be/kIw4V1casnA
