  • 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.

    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.

    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.

  • @Lockon420
    @Lockon420 Před 9 lety +17

    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.

He put an outboard motor on a kayak and shows a lot of trade secrets on how things are done in a kayak shop.

  • @captaindd1971
    @captaindd1971 Před 9 lety +6

    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.

    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?

    • @RealDoomsie
      @RealDoomsie Před 8 lety

      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.

      +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.

    • @jamesleary1405
      @jamesleary1405 Před 6 lety +3

      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
