Nice fish! Remember to pinch its mouth closed on the hog trough. :smt044

You can see the mouth in slo-mo.

Check out my video....

I will attest that when Stockwell said "Great White Shark", I was absolutely certain that there was a shark.

Although my cinematography skills are quite wack, I still managed to clearly film the shark (yay) and I even got it's face. As you can see, the shark turns to its left to come directly at my kayak. You can see that its fin is only inches from my gopro.

Also, as far as 1-ups, that was my 2nd encounter this year (one swam up to me very peacefully at Shelter while trolling for salmon in September), and my 3rd encounter happened the next day!

For one, I was alone (last time ever) and I saw it steaming up from my starboard towards a Verm I had draped over the edge of my kayak. I flipped the fish back into my yak and it abruptly did a 180, the jet of water off its tail nearly capsized me. I started heading towards shore, not too fast but not too slow (around 3 MPH). It followed me in for a good 10 minutes.

So yea... 3 encounters this year. Anyone wanna help me buy a shark shield!?!?
