  • Out on the water in search of one legal halibut and I find a 40" tanker! My day is already more than made with that fish and I get another bite from another great fish. Very blessed this day.

    • @Mr.Markus.

      Brainspike. It’s the only method that actually works with these fish. They’re like zombies if you bleed them out or club them in the head. They’ll come back to life. But a blade through the skull into the brain works everytime. If you’re gonna kill them you really shouldn’t drag out the death.

      Not really. It is a possibility, but that sort of thing is super rare. Theres tons of kayaks on the ocean every day all over the world and it rarely ever happens. I'm not worried about it enough to stop doing one of my favorite activities ever.

I however thought the same thing snorkeling off the coast of Hawaii and seen a large ominous shadow comming from the bottom of the ocean and it was a huge whale shark. It didn’t bite me but it was just curious and wanted to swim with us. There’s beautiful footage on UA-cam of people swimming with it but litera I literally peed on my self trynna swim back to the boat and the ocean has been cancelled for me ever since. I love fishing but my inner blackness won’t allow me to get on a kayak or a boat. I know a guy named mr tibbs and a orca breached the water and knocked him off his boat and he died. “It’s rare” is the famous last words of a lot of people who love extreme activities. Imma knock on wood for you tho! ✊🏾

      @@beatnuts323 I have no clue. They are around for most of the year in the area I fish. And generally they are the size that could do damage. Big white sharks. But I’ve only seen 2 big ones, one kinda big(like 10 foot) and then a batshit crazy hammerhead that probably couldn’t do much to me as long as I stayed in the kayak. And that’s in like 8 years. I dunno if that helps.
