after doing this for 18 years, this one day I will not forget, part of the reason we do it. 2nd or 3rd most memorable kayaks, that laugh is also up there..lol kayak on
Thank you, but it did cut my finger. It was braided line and it sliced right through 3 layers of skin and bled pretty bad. The line was only wrapped once so I was lucky. Had it been wrapped even twice then I 100% would have lost my finger. I've never been one to panic in any situation, and that's a good thing when you're doing foolish things like this! Lol 🤙🏼
Yeah, I read the same articles, but there's an endless amount of links and federal documents online that show them at 12' and possibly bigger. It surfaced just 15 - 20 feet away from us(gopro footage is horrible for gauging distance) so we could see that the dorsal fin and tail were 6-7 feet apart and with the dorsal fin being ever so slightly forward of center, that definitely puts it at 12', if not more. Scott(the guy who hooked it) worked on fishing boats for years and has seen ~ hundreds of porbeagles pulled up onto the deck so that plus looking at the shape of the dorsal fin we figured it was a Porbeagle. I'm not too upset that it didn't come closer for us to be 100% sure though lol
