That hammerhead - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Im not sure what species is around; scalloped, or smooth, but Hammerheads that size can be dangerous. But strait out attacking a human is very uncommon. Blood in the water, or worse, a fish struggling at boat side could fire them up to coming at the kayak. I'd say get baits out of the water and just keep moving. If there nothing for them they'll split. Sharks are so tuned in and have such evolved sences they can probably hear/feel the bait pump and smell the stressed baits in the water exiting a bait tank.
