Thanks to Crazy Yak, here is a video of a big shark executing his revenge from last Tuesday. Take a look, it is one beautiful shark.

Cool vid and tail slap

I'm guessing it was taken with the video function on a digital camera

Nice film footage. Beautiful shark. The shark's color really contrastred with the green colored water.

Good stuff. That tail slap was something. Did he get your leg, or just the kayak?

Bird,

He slapped so hard I was thinking I was going to have to experience Malibu's warranty program.......might have cracked the yak.

And the leg, took a beating, one cut and one bruise. Still a very good day!!

That video is even better in slow motion. The original will let you view in slomo, Youtube will not. Just the very tip of the tail grazes his leg, the expression on Mike's face is classic with an approximate3-4 second delay--OUCH! That's another reason to wear long sleave shirts and pants. I was nailed in the shoulder with no marks.

Thanks Crazy Yak for the great video. Those Canon cameras are great. I have an a630. You can double click that You Tube video for pause and play to slow it down some. That tail slap occurred like a speed of a rattlesnake strike.

It's a keeper

Are you and Smiledoc going to be down anytime soon? We're going again Sunday and Monday, weather permitting.

I need to check with SmileDoc. He has been busy with his kids at summer camp. I know he can't stay away too long. I will have a lot more time once summer baseball ends with my son. Keep posting when you go and I will try to make it.

It's a keeper

JJ,

I finally got a hold of the leader and pulled him up and we took a pic.....he was so lightly hooked that while holding him, he threshed enough that the hook came out. If you look at the hook in this pic, you can see he isn't caught by much!

Great Video MM. You didn't even lose a 16/0 over it either. But it cost you a little blood.
