Interesting article.  Thought I'd share.

Nice fish.  Napoleon was still around when that fish was born.  Amazing.

Pretty interesting article, not all sensational like you might expect, worth reading,

Thanks for posting it up, I saw it on the net but figured it wasn't worth reading, I was wrong

Dale I watched the Video. I think it would be much more interesting if he had the landlord on. Now I would read and watch that one. 

also interesting is that he was fishing in 1600 fow
25 min down and  20 minutes up=45 minutes to check your bait
and get back at it..wow

It wasn't sensational because Dave Strege is a veteran newspaper outdoor writer who has extensive fishing and hunting history. His story was sourced from my interviews with Joel Abrahamsson. I'm writing for the kayak fishing hardcore. When I pass a story to our affiliate GrindTV, it is rewritten to appeal to a mainstream audience, but that doesn't mean it has to be dramatized. I think the truth is dramatic enough.

My version for Kayak Fish includes a few more details that wouldn't mean anything to most Grind / Yahoo readers, such as tackle and bait used for this unusual mission.

Who would have thought an obscure northern shark that lives centuries would stand as the all-time kayak fishing record? Even if those scientists modestly miscalculated the length and girth, it would still obliterate the weight record.
