Do you know anything about odds?????

The chance of you getting eating by a shark while on a kayak are about .0000000001 percent plus or minus .0000001 percent.

I do bleed my fish on my kayak because you have to in order to have the best meat. That said, I have had a Mako and a Hammerhead Shark circle me for 15 minutes after bleeding fish. What a super awesome experience that was.

I also saw a great white shark on my second kayak fishing trip when I first started and I was solo. It didn't bother me.

Biggest safety concern on a kayak .........

........ the WIND.

The wind has killed kayakers in the past and will in the future.
