Shark attack on Kayak Fisherman at Pigeon Point today!!! (Tuesday 11.22.2011)

Wow that video really brings it into perspective, that was just insane. Once again glad everyone was ok and thanks for shareing.

Ted, thanks for sharing the vid.   Those were some serious bite marks.   That GWS was definitely not kidding around, not that it matters much.   I wouldnt even want an affectionate bite from a GWS.   

Holy smokes!   

I dont think i will be headed to Pigeon this weekend.

Wow!
I must say...that is some crazy shit!
I'm glad you guys are doing well. Thats why the ocean scares me so much.
Once I start getting out in the big blue this will be in the back of my mind.
Thanks for sharing your experiance.
Take care guys,

GS

Piscean, you mentioned that you had an encounter. Was that also at PP?? Thanks

@ Bean in 2009, right where Adam was last year. There's a writeup on the site here somewhere.

I got some intel of another non-contact encounter off of Capitola about 2 months ago. It's either there are more of us OTW , or it is an especially sharky year...or a combination of both.

Thank you for the correction, Adam.  When I'm 60 it'll be 6" and 20'. 

Glad that the two of you are ok. Ted, you're a good partner to have otw; your composure and assistance made a big difference brother! If I'm ever otw with ya, I know that I'll feel very comfortable.

Harry, I'm so glad that you came back in unharmed. What an experience never to forget!! Thanks for sharing your incident with us all, knowing how personal and emotional it was for ya. We can all learn a lot from this. You have our 100% support brother!!

I would like to speak with the individuals that were involved in this incident. Could someone please contact them and ask they email me at; sharkresearch@aol.com . I appreciate any assistance provided in this matter. Ralph S. Collier, Shark Research Committee

Please do contact Ralph Collier.  He was a lot of help to me and shark_bait from our Big Sur encounter.  Stand up guy, helped us identify the shark correctly.

way to stick together and get yourselves back in.  I CANNOT imagine getting back in the water.  BIG BRASS

Holy Cow....

SO glad you guys escaped... what else can be said that hasn't been said other than...
 

  Can we just Agree after 3 violent attacks and numerous drive by's, that this place needs to be respected this time of year as the Land Lords Home...

  Just too damn Sharky this time of year... End of August is pushing it....


 Glad you guys are good ...  The Bay has great striper fishing right now..... 

Glad there was no bloodshed. Harry, take it easy for the next few days. Be careful of the media, they can be like rabid dogs

Im really glad you guys are ok, what a life changing experience this is!! I don't think I ever want to fish the San Mateo Coast.

Great to hear you're both physically OK, that is some scary stuff. A big shout out to Ted for the rescue effort.
Seems like we all have something more to be thankful for this year. " Happy T-Day "

Ted, I'm stoked that you guys are safe. jim

I'm glad you guys are ok and thank you for sharing.  I have an Outback and "USE" to think that it's too wide and too heavy to flip over - never mind . 

Thanks for the Video Ted, seeing the bite marks gave me the creeps, I admit I love the place PP BH etc. I am super glad that you guys are OK specially Harry, I think dropnpoop will now become dropnpooped...You guys have all the respect from me from keeping your composure's...Ted this is why I love going out with you coz you always keep positive vibe on the water. I think this is attack is pretty aggressive and went for the kill specially in shallow water..we definitely need to understand more about this predator and respect them in their territories, now we all know why all warnings are given during the late season, Sonoma coast is 2 hrs from SFO now that I think about it, its well worth the drive, I love BH but I always tend to fish north side since most of the incident are south of BH..then again its still within range..I've been telling Dropnlax that I'd rather not fish SMC during this late season...but sometimes I'm just too itchy to get in the water now I have more reason to second guess my launching....again thanks for sharing!!!!
