Florida Kayaker Towed for Hours by 11 Foot Hammerhead Shark (Video)
damn. extreme anglers indeed.
Florida Atlantic University student Adam Fisk, 22, was fishing in his kayak Sunday near Boynton Beach, Fla., when he hooked a pretty unusual catch: an 11-foot hammerhead shark, which took Fisk on a two-hour, 12-mile ride, captured on Fisk's helmet camera. "Hooked a hammerhead in 50 ft. of water and got drug out to 250 ft.," Fisk wrote on Facebook, according to Reuters. "I took a South Florida sleigh ride today and I ain't talking Santa Claus." According to the video, at one point he was being chased by one hammerhead while being towed by the one on his line, which gives the Spinal Tap album Shark Sandwich a whole new meaning. "I threw my bait out and went to reel my other one in so I wouldn't get tangled, and I just had time to pick up the rod before the other one already got picked up by that hammer," Fisk added. Fisk belongs to Team Rebel Fishing, a group of extreme anglers. http://www.people.com/people/article...800680,00.html |

Hah. I was down there right after it happened, and they had an article in the paper about it. I meant to post about it here, but forgot in my drunken beach stupor.
There was some controversy about it, because quite a few experts say that fish mortality on a shark that's fought for over an hour is like 90%.

The fish is injured (hooked) and in a fight for it’s life. They literally expend every ounce of energy they have trying to get away. If not properly revived by forcing water through their gills they can very easily die.

Ok. I've heard sharks need to continually swimming in order to push water through their gills for oxygen but wasn't sure if that was the actual cause of death. |

I fought a 45lb flathead for around 15 minutes, seemed a lot longer when he was spooling my line out, and it took quite a while to revive him. I had to drag him back and forth through the water for several minutes before he finally came to and quit going belly up.

Sharks can't "rest". They don't have swim bladders nor do they have any means to express water through their gills. This is why they can't survive a long fight while most bony fish can... |
