Shark Capsizes Boat: Angler Swims For Life Then Catches Shark

 an assisted re-entry, after making an error in judgment is a fun to watch. The "boat" was capsized due to user error, not the shark, but it does look scary though.

Thats awesome! !!  One hell of a ride. ..where was that?

Holy crap!

I agree. That capsize was due to user error. He had the rod tied amidships, and had his drag set way too tight. When the shark took off to the side, it yanked the rod right out of his hands. He could not turn the bow of his kayak around quick enough and over he went.

true true...
good one Hojo!

ROOKIE! !...THANKS FOR SHARING HOJO

we'll boat out there, then draw straws to see who goes into the yak, then we'll all laugh when you flip it!, ok? 

if he were a real kayak fisherman, his first move wouldn't be to swim to the closet boat, but to right the yak and continue the fight!!

Watched it again... didn't notice that he dropped the rod on the first slayride. 



This video came up afterwards... 

Yep, true OG Kayak fisherman would have righted the yak and crawled back in. Not sure why he tied the rod off, playing the drag would have been the right thing, but I guess whatever floats your boat!
