Sharky in La Jolla!

[Cbad Mike]

Thanks for the report and am glad you weren't hurt.
This sport has its dangers, don't ever take them for granted.
As for fish over the side well now you know. I see this as also a prime example on why not to use a bait tube.
As a safety precaution I have a plastic connection on the strap from my kayak to my game clip that will break away before possibly flipping me if something grabs my fish while I'm bleeding it or when it's on deck.
When I catch I store the fish behind me and am always aware that blood is draining out of my scupper holes providing a nice trail for something that may want to follow.
Fishing has changed this year with more sharks around than usual so act accordingly.
