That cat wasnt suppose to be let out of the bag yet. I wanted to surprise everyone with the pics.
But yep, it's true. Planning a trip up north to the Bering sea this weekend to do some crabbing. I was checking my nets last night to make sure everythings good to go. I'm nervous and excited both.
That video gave me some good ideas. Thanks Jerry

My pleasure.  I am always trying to look out for you and your kayak adventures.

 Remember if you hook a great white you don't want to try and lip them like you would a bass. You want to roll out of the kayak and try to get them in a rear naked choke is how I've heard it's done.    I would also suggest packing a SideArm in case you get harassed by the Iranian navy!

Sounds like nasty has had some experience with this.  Jim, you will want to take note of his post.

As I understand thiogs you'll want to jump out the kayak onto it's back & gently nudge it til it rolls over. Apparently they become very docile like that. Then all you gotta do is remount it and,,,,,  wait a minute,, I think that's for something else.    But give it a whirl & let us know!! Go GoPro too!!

Don't worry about it Glen.  Jim has forgotten all about that sort of thing.

I've only seen one Great White in the Mississippi, and it was from the bridge as I went across.
He was a small one though and I think they caught him, "held him by his tail" and took him back to lake Erie.
