Sharks, kayaks, and fish on stringers - drone video

Here's an interesting drone video showing interactions between large sharks and kayaks, in particular kayaks dragging fish on a stringer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpkuR4UuXVs .

Hi Pete

Where's the shark link?

Hi Pete
Where's the shark link?

Sorry - I have corrrected the link.

Thanks Pete! That was a great video.

Great and informative video! It’s a great reminder to us all to be cautious about dragging a stringer of fish in the water.  Using a kill-bag once the fish has been bonked and bleed is a much better way to avoid and or reduce these encounters.
Thanks again,
Steve

Very cool video,
First shark was much like my dog who has hidden his bone...... keeps a close eye on it for about 5 mins and then looses interest.... however my dog rarely attacks and when he does he cannot do much damage as he is 16 weighs about 14 lbs and has missing teeth. 

I have a friend that was part of the Nat Geo crew who did the jumping shark special that was in the Farlons..... he could not believe all the footage the editors cut as there were urchin divers going about there business some unaware many watching the sharks while they were working in the frames of the video.   

I pretty much assume that if the water is wet and salty sharks are within their smell radius.   But still few attacks.   I think they really do not like confrontation unless it is a clear meal and easy for them.

The GWS is truly a majestic creature.

Dang, that was rad.

Kill bag is a must IMHO!  And these days… shark shield 🤙

That was a cool video, well worth watching. On the Sonoma and Mendo coasts I always kept my catch in the tankwell, not so much to avoid sharks but the sealions. Once I had them back there with a tail sticking up a bit, along came a sealion and did the spy hopping thing to check it out, I tucked it down under the burlap bag and it went away.

Looks like in the second encounter starting around 6:20, there is a shark shield deployed on the port side.

I think THAT is an observation worth sharing with the videographer!

Nice share.

Can we all say it together please?

"Keeping your stringer in the water with fish on it is stupid."
