True story. I was kayak fishing last summer out of Trinidad for lingcod with a whole herring and I hooked something big. It took off headed east (toward China). I locked down the drag hoping to break my 45lb braid or pull the hook out. All that did was start pulling the kayak. I just grabbed my knife and cut the line. I'm too old and smart for that.

I think it was a Thresher shark.

You could have been another "Old Man in the Sea" Steve.

I remember watching that movie as a kid. Was rooting hard for the old Man. Too Far!

You need a kayak equipped with twin CATS Eel.

I meant to say west. I guess I better get a compass.

Hey Joey, these guys are from Chester. I fished with them once last year.

Thanks Eel, i don't recognize their name or the faces but cool, glad to see that some of the younger guys(and you too Steve) are getting out and doing it in our outdoors!

That's how i'd want to play that game, hook em, play them, land them. I do though, know that thresher sharks can come in much bigger sizes so there's judgements that should to be made in the interests of safety.

Did i tell you that when i was little, that i was dead set on someday hooking and landing a whale? lol
