Something Big Was Checking Out My Kayak (Inshore Saltwater Kayak Fishing)

Had an extremely interesting encounter with a big critter while kayak fishing this past summer. Even more interesting than the creature itself was the fish that I caught right beside it, that's what so cool about saltwater fishing, it always keeps you guessing! Other than that it was a pretty lackluster outing, but I did get a couple quality bites.

Man Nolan, you make me wanna fish out there haha. Maybe one day when I have more time to not feel rushed haha. Sick fishing as always man. You gonna do any bass tournaments this year?

At this point I'm not really planning on it, unfortunately all I really did last year was more or less break even with tournaments. Payouts have decreased, participation has decreased, entry fees increased, and we keep going to the same old lakes and fish during a big bass boat tournament almost every time. If I can go catch some saltwater fish, make a video out of it, and get paid to do that instead??? No brainer!
