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%.

There were two shark attacks while I was down there as well. The spinners and black tips are crazy this time of year. Overhead shots just off the break are insane:
![]() This was happening last year when we were down there. It was freaking AWESOME to watch: Sharks were like "surfing" the waves and coming right up to the beach. I was dying that I didn't have a fly rod, as they were chasing the shit out of anything that looked like a baitfish.
