Incredible presence of mind.  Thanks for getting an in the moment video.  If it were to be anyone, it would be you, Eric!!!  The other guys were so Cazh.  uh-huh-hahaha.  Brass Balls!
Or possibly the freak-out occurred post taping?  I would paddle in, hopefully as a group.

"there it is, there it is .... "  and still filming ... so awesome!  Thanks for the vid, you should share it with local media.  Maybe you'll get picked up by the network!  Might as well get the number of views up high

We are in their territory, glad all are OK.  That's crazy!

kidding aside, glad no one was "investigated" and congratulations on a fantastic viewing of an amazing marine predator!

That is an exciting video fir sure. What was your depth at the time of the encounter, and what bait did the shark bite on?

Thanks for the notes, fellas.  I feel fortunate to have not experienced a physical encounter, and of course I was stoked right when I realized I'd gotten the video.

Depth - maybe 60 to 70' with a pinnacle to 45' nearby.  Took a herring.  I'm not positive that it was in its mouth, but it sure acted like it.  Came in like a mellow little lingcod - twice!

Maybe it was a mellow little lingcod ... that the GW just slurped off your hook.

+1 I think the LL took your Lingcod for the rent.  Thanks for sharing your Oh Sh....moment with us Eric.

That’s a day you won’t forget.

Nope - It came to the yak twice with my bait - like it was on a leash.
