Mako Shark Attacks Kayak Video - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Anyways...Congrats on the catch! Looking forward to see more helpful people out there and less haters.

However, I like to stay away from sharks and your video makes me feel better about cutting my line in those situations so I can fish another day.

to each their own. Tight lines!

Cheers all.

Are you some kind of forum police that regulates what can be posted here or you just hating on what someone did that you don't have the balls to do?

Thanks for the comments guys. I can appreciate both sides of the argument. It was no means a safe catch and we are not encouraging anyone to replicate it. Not planning on keeping another mako and will absolutely cut the line next time I hook one. See you put there!

We're not tying to make a career of hunting makos, that was the last for me. It was a once in a lifetime catch from a kayak.

I had one last year, Kevin was my wing man, after a sleigh ride and a couple of jumps got it to color and decided no thanks to a fish that I know can clear easily 6 feet out of the water with teeth like a spyderco knife.
His yak got a love bite as the mako tore under my bow on a run
