I think I had my first GWS incounter of LJ - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

You probably saw a juvenile GW. They are always around just not seen as often. If you've put in the time on the water your judgement call is what I'd go with. The responses that say "if it were a GWS then the seals would have left the area." clearly forget to take into consideration that GWS eat seals...so there is always going to be one unlucky dog out there in the wrong place at the wrong time. On a side note, this year in Seal Beach we had a seal wash a shore that had been attacked by what was estimated to be an 8-10 foot white he was too small to finish the job so he wound up only maiming it. It died from its wounds and the waves brought it in.

Its not true the sealions would be gone. Sealions will flank and annoy a cruising white since they are more manuverable. The white either not in feed mode or in fish feed mode. When its in mammal feed mode it wont be seen until the red cloud.

Why would you use Desitin when lube works much better.

If eyes could talk....the surface is a small area in the water colum....I'm sure it's a game of cat and mouse between sharks and everything else...I fished LJ once a week for 6 months and now it's time to move and not because of sharks this encounter did not scare me off the water...what man witness is not even the tip of the iceberg of events that go on every day in the ocean like a bad ass swordfish caught sleeping and gets its tail bit off ect ect ect I would say it's just depends how hungry somethings is before I would judge it's actions plus mistake in identity for sure... thanks for the out put tight lines my friends and I'll tell you all about it when I see it again
