YANI--come get your friends!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

f'nsabiki · 07-28-2015, 01:17 PM

I went out of North County last weekend to try for a bluefin. No luck with that, but the yellows were thick. After letting two go, I decided to keep two and head in. One reason I like NC is I can keep fish alive in the water and not have to worry about f"n dogs. About a mile offshore something jams my outdrive and the two yellows are going berserk. I look over the side and a big hammerhead was trying to get my fish--squealed like a little girl. Even After I pulled the fish in he kept circling my kayak. At one point there were three of them around me. Other than being in a thunder storm this was the only time I gotten the jitters on the water.

Let me quote this chef I know "OH MY GOD" "WOW"

Three of them?? I would of heaved those yellows and high tailed
it but quick...

Those things are just so scary cruising under our yaks.

Glad you made it safely, and with those beautiful fish!!!

WoW WoW Wow!!

wow impressive and terrifying at the same time. Like Yani said, I would have chucked a yellow and gotten the hell out of there.

Remember, they are more scared of you, than you are of them.

Funny you should say that. I poked him 2-3 times with my paddle-hard, he never squealed, all he did was just swim faster.
