My First Big Shark from the Kayak

- I was hunting tarpon, so I had the big tackle with me. There were no silver kings around, so I went after a shark instead. The manatee getting involved was totally unexpected.
Turned out to be a good lesson on fighting big fish.

this is the video that got me into kayak fishing 6 years ago couldn’t imagine my life without the people i have met and adventures i’ve been on since then
What makes a person say "hey, I want to catch a big ass shark in a little ass boat"
the sleigh ride
dude a percentage of the race has small brains and danger doesn't register until too late
Steel balls
I do it for the sleigh ride
Hayley Gollem lol
The manatee reminds me of when i was little and i would follow my mom around the shopping center and after a few minutes realize thats not her and that i've become lost following some other lady.
Haha Theres often happened to me too :D
I have done that too
lmao yes have done that too and gotten in trouble from mom and accused of lying and just wanting to wander off lol!
Bill as a mom I’ve had that happen to me...turned around thinking oh geez I leave my kids with a babysitter but STILL have kids clinging to me lol
I think you need a bigger boat...
Jackie Huffstutlar why?
TheSlightlyHomosexualFeminist referring to jaws...
+TheSlightlyHomosexualFeminist It was a line from the movie JAWS!!! "I think we're going to need a bigger boat". Classic
thomascampr ahh haha went over my head lol
+TheSlightlyHomosexualFeminist Feminist's are too busy burning crosses and practicing witchcraft to watch tv or movies it's perfectly ok
manatee says, "Who's this fool playing with Fred the Shark?"
charles dilmore your not allow to say bad word
*Flips boat*
Your just a viewer dont say bad word
8:10, youre welcome
Thanx
+Mr.Tumbleweed Thanks man. I was skipping throw it and could not find it... What should we do without you ? XD
thank you sooooo much- not all heroes wear capes haha
DJ Fox Lol, you just made my terrible day alittle better, :)
+Mr.Tumbleweed I fucking love you, man
That manatee was like: heyyyy, trying to catch a shark huh? Well I'm gonna watch from this distance as the shark slowly eats you.
and these are the videos I come across when it is 4 am
FIIISHSTIIICKSS Lucky you, I come across full sized sex dolls lol
wow that's crazy. It was exactly 4am when i read this. Illuminati confirmed
FIIISHSTIIICKSS its currently 0400 while I'm watching this video.
444 for me. Ugh
Same, 4:35. Creepy
zoffinger I'm confused. how come you didn't just sink to the bottom with those massive balls of steel???
Lol good one
Hahaha nice
Too bad he copied it off someone else's comment.
Luke Tube Joseph Stalin actually.
Luke Tube At least what I did was original.
Your videos are very educational. As a beginner at saltwater fishing I have learned the most from you. I like your cool laid back style rather than a lot of the heavy metal,screaming guitar, high tech power boat videos with the Alright!....High Fivers!!
Please keep turning out the videos, and continue sharing your experience and passion doing what you love cause we're out there with you!
Is it just me or does anyone else get the feeling that the manatee is following him to protect him? you hear about dolphins doing that all the time. Awesome video man
I wondered that too, Gunnar. Interesting thought.
Syrupsipper nope he was waiting for the perfect moment to flip the kayak. lol
Gunnar Frantzich lol
Monofilament leader for shark? I would use wire. I'd like to recover the hook.
The manatee was staying under your Kayak to keep the Shark away from you.....For sure! Great Video
One of the best fishing films I've seen on 'the tube', love the editing & the Jaws references.
My Son's pal in N.S.W. Australia paddled out of a little creek near Cabarita NSW & hooked into a VERY big fish that took him out over the reef miles out to sea. There's a story with photo's on an Aussy. kayak fishing magazine or site.
Nice film. also take note people, long sleeve shirt & big hat, I've just had two skin cancers removed & that's no fun at all, like they say in Oz. slip slop slap.
I saw those crocs you were wearing.....
lmfao
HA!! GAY!!!!!!!!
methodman247 not funny 😐
Ever seen a shark's eyes, chief? No, ya haven't cuz ya cinched down on the drag!
Mono Nonny LMAO
zoffinger lol that's pretty funny. Thanks for the video man. good times
+soflo23 no they have beautiful blue eyes
it was the decision to not use wire leader that made him loose the fish not the drag. Idk what poll he had but if you know anything about spinning reelz they only have 25 max lbs of drag and that was 80 lbs leader. nice try
max drag 17 lbs

I've never seen this type of fishing done before, and it appears to be extremely amusing. I found the best parts of this video to be the sheer enjoyment of the act, the excitement of the matinee and shark combined and the reaction from being in "unknown territory" with these large animals.
I also greatly enjoyed the end, where he shares a critical lesson in fishing (which in my mind is an extension of hunting via. many ways to perform the action) that patience is important, but so is properly preparing yourself mentally for the task at hand and how hard it is to be prepared when you've never experienced something like this before. Learning is good, even if mistakes are made, and I'm sure by his reaction he will pass on his newly acquired knowledge with enthusiasm and respect to future fishers.
Congratulations on a good hunt, and best wishes for many more. Thank you for sharing.
adfadfads adfad My goodness! Well said :^) Thank you
Yeah, I watched some of this guys other videos and subscribed , he is laid back, humble but crazy as (insert expletive here). Kinda person you want to meet and hang out with. He put an outboard motor on a kayak and shows a lot of trade secrets on how things are done in a kayak shop. Mad respect, he thanks his film crew, subscribers , and basically everyone involved in his success. He seems to be genuine. Glad we still have dudes like this out there in the world.
All hunters are cunts
Manatees are very protective and sensitive. The manatee probably sensed the shark nearby in the water and followed you in case you needed its help. They can crush a sharks gills much like a dolphin.
wake me when part 2 begins.....................
I hope you don't let the remarks of some of these folks discourage you. This was one of the most well done kayak fishing I've I've seen.
Nice catch! "He's a twenty footer!"...."twenteee fiiive...and three tons of 'em'! "
Omg. Yasssss. The jaws moment. Yassss. Jaws is one of my favorite movies
Moments*. Am I the only one that recognized the quoting immediately?
what time in the video can I actually see a shark !?
8:10
+JosephZoellinMoto 8:10 no shark... unless your talking about the barely discernable blob underwater
+branon mitchell there is a shark look closely
15:10
15:23
Gotta use a wire leader when fishing the sea. Learned that lesson the hard way! Always ended up with cut lines. Even tho I get less bites ( assuming because they can see it ) I also loose wayyyy less fish once they're hooked. Everything in the ocean has treth5.
A kayak + a shark = NOPE!!
Why not ? Done it tens of times it’s a lot of fun
Cute manatee, though. He was cute and curious. Perhaps not good for your fishing expedition, but manatees are good luck. You get karma points for being kind to a manatee...and my respect forever!
+Katherine Uribe if that manatee would flipped that kayak it woulda made my day
+Jacob Hoffman Violent tendencies?
Katherine Uribe
i like to see stupid ppl learn from their mistakes, did you see the rt video of the leopard they trapped in the school in india? apparently it got in there and freaked out clawed a couple ppl and they shut it in a small room with a barred window with no glass, they back a vehicle up to the class room door and have three experts out side the window one with a big stick, and one of em decides hes gonna reach his arm through the window to open the door lmfao.... the look on their faces when the leopard latches onto his hand is priceless..... the point is he lost a hand but they learned something very important that day..... much like the guy on the kayak fishing for sharks needs to learn.... i just hope he lives through it or its all for not.... more importanlty we know that like steve irwin his cameras will be rolling and hopefully a legion of idiots across the globe will learn from it
I came across a family of Manatees once we kinda swam with and pet them..
baby too, mom didnt care as long as we were nice to em
+Mason Poopnuggets My daughter just got back from a trip where see got to pet manatees. I'm so jealous! We'd talked about doing that since she was little. I'm so happy she's making her dreams come true!
That manatee was spooky. Wonder if the fins of your boat attracted him?
I live in Jacksonville FL.and our property backs up to the St. Johns river, we have a pier going out on the river. I was once fishing and a Manatee swan up and just turned on it's back and watched me fish it wasn't over fifteen feet from and stayed like that for about ten minutes!
Looks like you've got a new buddy, he will be mandrake the manetee.
hahaha. So, it shall be.
You know its gonna be good when you gotta put down your beer to bring in a shark on a kayak.
Looks like you need to ditch the Flurocarbon, and get some seven strand, sleeves, and a crimping tool.
I dont think that your drag had anything to do with the line breaking.... when the shark was running your line was parallel with the shark, i noticed both break offs were almost identical... the shark was in close and the your rod was at a high angle with the line at a steep angle to the sharks mouth. He shook his head and all those sharp teeth cut your line. You need wire marlin wire or seven strand.
Love the music and the cast of characters! The Shark, the manatee and good ol captain Quint! What an adventure that was!
first off great skill on the kayak there ! you seem to fish a shark and filmed it all from 3 different or 2 different angles ! plus if you told me before hand that you were fishing a shark from a kayak and when you had fish on the line and told me a manatee was watching/following you the whole time i would never have believed you! wonderful video ! keep up the great work . don't know what you were going to do to unhook the fish/shark anyways i guess the best was that the line broke
Two questions:
1. What happens to the hook and the extra line left over when the shark, or any fish, breaks your line?
2. If you were able to reel him in close, how would you 'release' him?
Depending on the hooks material, it'll either rust and degrade in its mouth, or eventually fall out with growth. The line..just a lost cause.
wheres the wire leader? wont ever lose a shark again
Kay Nicole you nailed it. I would like to recover the hook.
Kay Nicole marry me.
Mary Chris cheeky
@Mary Chris Your name is Mary and you have a pole- hm.. somethings not right.
Just stumbled across your channel a few mouths ago . Enjoying the fishing!
Bring that Pro Angler here to the central coast of California. I think we have a couple sharks that will make you shit your pants. We had a 20 footer here a couple of months ago. Took a nice bite out of an outback. We fish the red triangle here who knows you might get a thresher they are good eating.
NOOOOOOOOOO NOO No no....
LOL
here are some links

centralcoastkayakfishing.com/cckf/index.php?topic=3255.15
This guy is the organizer of Central Coast Kayak Fishing. him and I have had several conversations about Shark Shield he was aginst them now not so much.
Go central coast! I live in SLO!
Fuck off for eating a Thresher. I mean the fishing and bringing
them in is cool and all. But it's illegal. They're endangered.
Nathan Cross Ummmmm, first, why the harsh language? Second, you make yourself sound like an idiot when you don't do proper research. They are listed as "threatened." Make your own conclusion on what that means. Grow up, child.
Ha! The "Jaws" Captain Quint reference at 3:31 was awesome!
maybe a bigger boat next time. u remember jaws right?
Jaws isn't real although there are some pretty big sharks
BRYCE FALK DEF Mythic SoaR But jaws was inspired by a big shark attack in about 1916.
robert jaws is based on something that happened in Matawan New Jersey in like 1916 or something like that
Anthony Rutigliano yes but it wasn't a great white it actually took place in a fresh water river and it was a bull shark attack that inspired the book
robert it happened in Cheesequake Creek where I fished many times it is brackish water and I think it was a great white shark look it up it's called the Matawan Maneater
You know that fish screamed bloody murder when put that hook thru it’s back 😄
7:25 then why are you fishing for it?
Exactly. Like at 14:50 Another thing he said, "Quite frankly, I don't know what I'm going to do when this this thing's next to the boat anyways."
Yeah, this is a bit dumb. Not dumb like, “this guy is crazy, wow”. More dumb like “blah blah blah”.
Caught a black tip a couple weeks ago where something similar happened. Sharks don't fight like other fish they take longer to get tired and you can get them all the way up and then they'll dive right back down.
You can actually see it at 15:00
I think I missed it...I did.
“Mr. Hooper, I’m not talkin’ about pleasure boatin’ or daily sailin’, I’m talkin’ about workin’ for a livin’, I’m talking about sharkin’!”
"DEEEERRRR let's look for SHARKS in a small as fuck KAYAK DEEEERRR"
It's so much more fun in a kayak though xD
I LOVED when you said " As if we weren't sick enough!". True, very true.
Now you see why the manatees always get chopped up by boat propellers. They are so curious.
I don't ever subscribe to people's stuff but it did yours! I really love all the camera angles and underwater shots. I really like your choice of music too. Normally people put on acid rock at 500 decibels and ruin the video.
what a bunch of clowns hatin on him.
good fight fearless and insane love every bit of it.
fish on!!!!
Wait, now I'm too tired to paddle home and I'm outa' beer...lol
Brave man I'd be worried the yak be hit by a great white
I don’t know,but something doesn’t seem right sitting in a kayak in the ocean,there is some very hungry big fish out there!
you now have a pet manatee
Very nice. I love it. The bait fishing alone looks fun, and then add the shark, the manatee...this reminds me of why I loved kayak fishing in Tampa bay. Always an adventure. It's not the same from a big boat.
If you want to go after sharks, you need a steel leader.... a long one.
+Robert Komarek Vinyl coated cable 2' longer than I expect to catch is my rule. 100-200 pound and a removed barb on a Mustad circle hook. One of my very first hook ups was a massive short fin mako. Probably 15'+ range. Breached and did one quick turn. Had a 3' cable leader and 80# mono. After the spin it was gone. Had 12' of mono that honestly looked like it was sanded with 36 grit paper. First and last mako hook up.
He had no plans on removing that hookup proper! No respect leaving hooks in the mouth can cause them to not feed and such! Just shouldn't be done unless it's an unfortunate case like it snapped while fighting he tightened down that drag to snap it purposely because he had no clue what to do knowing it was to dangerous to deal with that shark up the side of that kayak! Just stupid and unfortunate for that shark
I caught a 28" Bonnethead shark outside of the Little Manatee River last Sunday, using a #1 Kahle hook and live shrimp on a 25# fluorocarbon leader, and I boated it with no problems.
@@jamesleary1405 boohoo it's a fricken shark bro. Its not like hes leaving any hooks in game fish
Good Bull man, enjoyed the fight, your right correct operation of drag is essential.. Id recommend some seven strand 135lb# plus cable, and nicopress crimps. It takes time man, when they see that boat it seems like they get a second wind.
"i'm not your mom, manatee!" hahaha
Loved how you put up a picture of Robert Shaw..... lol 😂
That's my REAL name ha ha ha. I've had to listen to JAWS references all my life.
I enjoy it tho, especially being a fisherman. Lol
No life jacket, on the Ocean, in a Kayak fishing for shark, this dude has a death wish....lol
Where are you exactly? Amazing....thank you for posting this video!!!!!
im in it for the manatee
"I'm not your mom" Hahaha! Best line in the whole video. Truly cool video man!
8:50 manatee cameo
that "craziness" at 11:45 is the very dangerous attack manatee
Whers the shark ???
Great video! Curious as to why the water looks so beautiful but when you get down into it, it's merky and has no visibility? It's still beautiful, just not clear...
the shark swamp passes the manatee so fast it was spooked and looked for shelter near you bud .....;-) i think another great videos zof
That's some pretty cool stuff there buddy. I can only imagine hooking something that big in my kayak. I'm taking it to NC soon so who knows. You make some great vids brother..
Was this in Japan? hahaha I heard the voice but your lips didnt move. @12:05 ish
Ysahhhhh
Manatee is like... HEY what are you doing, don't mess with Bobby! He is my friend, stay away
Ha, manatee is just kinda like "hey, what's up lol."
Nice action, you'll land the next one ! I just purchased my second Okuma ABF65 with same set up but 80lb mono leader & landed a 9 foot nurse shark on foot off channel 5 bridge Islamorada, Keys. Love these reels!!
Oh noooo sarahhh...
SARAH HELP ME
SlothHawk My kayak is sinking
SARAH NOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo
SARAH IT'S TOO DEEP HERE
"What's on your shirt?"
"UEAAAGHHHHUAAA NOEUAGHH"
Got hooked up to a big shark off the rocks a few nights back, within 30 seconds it had bit through my 80 pound leader.
An hour later got hooked up to it again, and again it bit through the 80 pound leader.
Switched to wire leader and didn't get one after that.
+Retz Finicky sharks hate wire leaders as well as un-coated cable. The wire reacts with the salt water and creates a current that the sharks can detect for miles. Coated leaders greatly reduce the current in the water and are flexible. I have had half a dozen 6' blacks and reefs on a single leader before cutting and re-crimping. My rigs are all 6' plus and 100# plus with ball bearing swivels. Don't forget to remove the barb unless you are harvesting the shark and use carbon steel hooks for when you lose one or are forced to cut it off.
it is really stupid to fish for sharks in kayak
alex music he’s in a Hobie people do it all the time that is a very stable kayak
First of all he was hunting Tarpon, second of all who do you think you are questioning him with his experience, and third of all people do if all thhe time.
alex music agree
Rip’n lips CTT "Stable Kayak" in open deep ocean baiting big ass sharks, is an oxymoron.
@@alecc.lambert2352 wah wah wah.. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE wah wah wahhh.
It is always best to let the drag do the work... you don't want to lose the fish, and, you don't want it too green when you do get it next to the boat.
When someone dies in a situation like this everybody sad and totally forget how stupid that person is
Or dang I wish I could get that custom boat after a Prayer for the deceased & family.
Just recently subscribed to your channel and I am already one of your biggest fans. Thanks for the ride.
Why Would You Do This in A Kayak?
Don't manatee's flip kayaks! Lol. Nice catch brother. Even though you didn't get that up close footage, still an incredible fight.
Think that sea cow wanted to make love to your boat...They have bad eye sight.
It's even a good idea to loosen up the drag when you get them near the boat when you think they are shot. Sometimes a fish will make a last chance dash for freedom when they get to the boat so a tight drag will break em off. And be careful with those sharks. We don't want any missing Marty parts.
his gonna need a bigger boat
Fun vid mate. That manity was really interested to see who whould win too. :)
you should get a bigger boat. this is unsafe to fish with kayak. you are crazy.
YOU'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER BOAT...
that's what I was thinking...
your gonna need a bigger boat!
Gotten bigger in smaller he is fine
Not crazy. Just uneducated n ignorant
Marty- maybe a little bigger stronger rod, with maybe a level wind reel, with more drag, longer stronger rod easier on you , more drag on reel tires fish out quicker. I'm really surprised he stayed hooked that long without a wire leader. All the Best, man- love you're videos. P.s. I'm up here in the Outer banks.
I thought it was cool when he threw in the Jaws quotes
If I may make a suggestion; very murky water doesn't require Fluorocarbon leaders so I suggest wire leaders.
I buy small spools of wire and make my own any size I want.
Good luck next time, my friend. Be safe
The funniest part is removing the hook from its mouth.
Awesome, wish I could afford that Hobie. It looks so stable. Another great video. Thanks
The manatee is trying to protect u..
Damn. I was excited to see what the next step was. Good fight though. I kayak fish for flatheads up her in WV. There'll take you for a good ride, I couldn't imagine a large shark :)
smart -.- in a kayak trying to catch something big with nobody else on the water...
pokecrafter88 i see what ya saying but even if he fell in right next to the shark i dought the most the shark would do is run
evan dexy even if it didnt if he was worried and thrashed around in the water i couldve attracted another before he got back on the boat
evan dexy sharks can't run :-)
Lel
He was not alone u can hear the cam man say something
Hey Zof, I have seen sharks go crazy and bite anything when they realize they are done. They will actually try take a bite out of the boat, and try to get in there with you. You have outfitted your kayak beautifully, far better than the way it came from the factory, and much better than many nice fishing boats I have seen. I want it. OK, I need to go sit down, for a few minutes, relax, and have a cold drink. I feel like I just watched Jaws for the first time. Great White shark attack on kayakers in Massachusetts bodhispeak 2,659,369
All you haters out there should find something better to do. Like go fishing perhaps
Ahoy again! I see these vids are quite a few years old. Do you have any newer vids, ie, boat updates, fishing, etc. ?
hurting the poor animals for your pleasure! lets face it, not a nice thing!
Searching up something you are against is a cruel thing and you need to stay away
Fluffyguy958 it was more an accidental click on youtube, didnt search it! didnt have any problem with the whole fishing thing except the last last part when he tries to get the hook out of their mouth!!! i guess that hurts! that made me write that comment, peace.
How do you "accidentally" end up on a video of something you hate?
If you think that's cruel you should go watch documentaries on ppl killing sharks for their fins that's real cruel there
Mai Lee Xiong That's cruel and unethical too! Was not trying to dish that as an insult folks! If you are happy doing this, then keep doing it, Peace.
Whew, man. Good Vid. I watch these vids by guys like zoffinger and I just can't believe it. I don't think I could ever convince myself to go big shark fishing in that big open ocean on a tiny wobbly open kayak. That just seems so scary. It would not take much for the shark to knock that kayak over.... and then what! exciting vid.
When those Jungle Cruise Jokes just start echoing in your mind again...
I have but one question what would have been the plan if you had caught the shark though I mean it's not like it'll fit in your boat sooooo
That was pretty cool..I have seen videos of people catching marlin from a kayak but never a good size shark.
why do you put the camera at the bottom of the boat I don't really want to look up your shorts thanks x
