that was the first thing i thought of when i saw this on the morning news, i wonder if it would hit a black and silver spinner bait? think about it --suffers and folks like this guy are just big topwater plugs to something like that shark

I have never had a shark or alligator attack my yak. Besides you do not have to be able to out paddle a shark. Just the other guy with you. This is why I like fishing with older guys!
So when we going Mick?

I just saw that online. I bet he was bailing that kayak out! And it wasn't water he was shoveling out of there.

When I did some Ocean Kayaking around Little St Simons, we cut back through the marshes. The Long Ocean Kayaks are a little narrow and LONG, so when we went up one narrow channel, it was really difficult to manuever. Then at one point I stuck my paddle in and hit something solid: A GATOR. He went absolutely beserk. My buddy was directly behind me and all I could do was shove the paddle in the tall grass and pray. He almost flipped me over. We both had to bail out or kayaks!

There is actually a shark tournament where the only fish that count have to be longer than your kayak most guys fishing the tourney use a 10.5 ft yak, that is plain stupid.

reminds me of when i was getting certified to dive. my instructor asked the class what was the appropriate thing to do if you see a shark. after several off the wall answers, he told us what we really needed to do......
'cut your buddy and SWIM FOR YOUR LIFE!!'

:cool:
I will never forget having a rookie dive buddy on his first deep water dive. He asked me what the knife was for as I strapped it on. I looked around and motioned for him to get real close. I whispered, "When you see a shark. Stab your buddy and get outta there really quick." Of course he had no knife and did not think it was funny:bounce::rofl:

:hair::hair:If that was me in the yak, I thing it would have sunk due to me urinating all over myself.

Weird they'd just now be reporting that as news. That's been around (http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/sharkkayak.asp)for 2 years +.
