Catching a 500 lb shark while kayak cod fishing || Almost lost my finger!
Переглядів 3 тис.2 місяці тому
Hey folks, This is an exciting one to say the least. My buddy, Scott, hooked a 500 lb Porbeagle shark while we were out cod fishing from our kayaks here in Newfoundland. This footage is from his GoPro. It dragged both him and his wife upwind into my boat, putting me between him and the shark when it finally came up to the surface 15 feet away from me and started swimming toward us! Yes, I know ...

    • @canoeanddogexplorers
      @canoeanddogexplorers 2 місяці тому

      Yeah, I read the same articles, but there's an endless amount of links and federal documents online that show them at 12' and possibly bigger. It surfaced just 15 - 20 feet away from us(gopro footage is horrible for gauging distance) so we could see that the dorsal fin and tail were 6-7 feet apart and with the dorsal fin being ever so slightly forward of center, that definitely puts it at 12', if not more. Scott(the guy who hooked it) worked on fishing boats for years and has seen ~ hundreds of porbeagles pulled up onto the deck so that plus looking at the shape of the dorsal fin we figured it was a Porbeagle. I'm not too upset that it didn't come closer for us to be 100% sure though lol

Height adjustment in a jiffy at the upright. ~ Since it looks like you canoe camp often I thought the simple item, although wrought iron-esque would do you well with slightly heavy gear. ~ Any branch of proper dia. stuck to earth yer done, with ez adjustable.

      I generally only use this method in winter as the snow obviously offers practically limitless options for anchor points. I'll often times make a tripod this time of year and carve a little pot hook so then I can adjust the height to whatever works for what I'm doing.

    Looks like a 14cm Zebra Billy with modded clips. I have one and wanted to steam in it without drilling holes in the bowl as some did. ~ I found that a 5" folding/collapsible as butterfly wings basket fits inside and opens when inside just enough for steamer use. Not much space below the basket for much water, but just enough before all boiled off, and I grabbed a SS plain Jane cookie cutter (tall as can find round) to sit below the basket giving just a smidge height for more water. ~ Water being a commodity it steams with very little water. It steams up full load load veggies just fine. I've not tried fish yet, but some steam their fishys vs oil 'n such. (can river water be used for steaming without being treated? ~ there's a plus) ~~ Both steamer basket with cookie cutter nested in basket nests inside the Billy, wrapped in paper towel for no rattle. (dew rag prolly betta) Stainless steel steamer baskets vary in size and not costly. Aim for one with tallest legs that can find. My 5" will expand to 9 or 10" with center post for lifting for other pots/pan use. ~ Cookie cutter? ha, there's one in case 1day you try biscuits ay? Before use I took a hair blow dryer to the huge Zebra sticker and it peeled right off. Someday it'll be a pain I thought. If Zebra tac welded a pivoting ring on the side for a lift aid it would be perfect.

    • @canoeanddogexplorers
      @canoeanddogexplorers 4 місяці тому

      It is the 14 cm but the clips are factory, and they're a game changer! Great for pouring water when it's too hot to touch once they're clipped onto the handle, and they're the only way that the inverted oven will work. I don't bother with steaming anything while I'm camping, so I haven't used it for that or researched any mods to make that more practical. And biscuits are on the list! Lol
