That fish and guy were hauling ass. As fast as he was getting towed, that fish still nearly spooled him. What a thrill!

When I first started doing this, there were a few YouTube videos I saw that made me think "I'd like to give that a try"

Johnny Ceviche has a similar t-shark sleigh ride video from La Jolla.

Now over 10 years later, it's the sleigh rides that keep me coming back.

If you don't see it, it is always twice the weight you truly think it is. In other words, it was maybe 250lbs at best.
