This man was fishing for sharks in their kayak. His bait got taken by a big shark that pulled him into an area of strong tide and large swell. The man asked his friend's help to cut the bait line as the kayak had turned during the pull and push between the shark and him.

00:00Right now, it's my second trip this year out after Porbeagle and after four missed chances
00:11of a hook up and a circle hook I've eventually hooked out one.
00:17If it's the same fish it's quite a big one.
00:24If it's the same fish he's over 200lb.
00:29It's a lovely fish.
00:40It's actually my sixth.
00:42He actually clocked it and then he missed it and he came back.
00:59Did you get any? Aye, I had one. I had six takes there.
01:13Six takes? Yeah.
01:15Let's see how my anchor boy is.
01:19He's out ahead of you out of the chum bag.
01:23I'm not sure, I have him on but there's one about 250 there.
01:27It might be him, I don't know.
01:31He came right up to the kayak and tried to grab the chum bag.
01:35I had one like a spinner dolphin on the surface giving it fucking a hard time.
01:41You want to see it out there, it's rough as fuck.
01:47I'm going to lose this fish to the tide.
01:57Big bloody waves up here.
02:27I'll be giving out a dooboo pollock for a bit.
02:37This fella was caught, this fella took a pollock.
02:41That's this fella gone.
02:49I'm going to have to slack it off and paddle up.
02:53There's my fish.
03:15It's not really standard power buoy.
03:17I'm getting the line going, paddling like thick.
03:21There's another one.
03:43Another one.
03:55Holla ma.
04:13There's another one.
04:33There's another one.
05:01There's another one.
05:29He's on to another pearl bagel here.
05:31Jesus.
05:35Went around my anchor twice before I could get away from him.
05:39He's a dirty bugger.
05:41He's on top high going around in circles.
05:45He missed all the drama of him around the anchor because he nearly spooled me.
05:53What a nightmare.
05:56Wasn't there.
06:00It's still very rough below.
06:02That's why this one's staying up in the bay.
06:12If I can get lucky and keep him up here, I'll be laughing.
06:19I don't think he's a huge one because he's very quick.
06:22He's a bugger.
06:28I had a blind guess I'm going to say he's about 150.
06:31But I don't know.
06:37I'm just saying by 150 weight how much of a bugger he is.
06:42He's a very fast, high fighting flyer.
06:52I'm about 15 minutes into this fight.
06:55Or less.
06:58My arms are wrecked.
07:02The rod is a Weston W3.
07:10He's on a Kuma Cedarus.
07:20Any chance of a tow?
07:24I'm waiting.
07:28Did you see where you were going?
07:31That's what I was going to say. Any chance of a tow?
07:34I knew you were going to say that.
07:36Somewhere that way.
07:38Have you got a rope?
07:40Kind of, yeah.
08:08I'm going to have to get closer.
08:26Come on in close for him.
08:28Just bump it off me, don't worry about it.
08:31Hopefully.
08:35You got him?
08:39He's open.
08:41That's it.
09:11Come up you bastard.
09:24He's hooked that way.
09:28It's nice and jiffy just that I can hold to this brick now, eh Paul?
09:34That's it.
09:36Straight up now if you can.
09:38I don't think we can do it, but he goes in.
09:49F***
09:53F***
09:55Just don't worry about it, you can put him in a little angle.
10:25Just get yourself sorted, get on.
10:53Are you alright?
11:00Thank you lads.
11:09I'm not going to let go of you there Graeme.
11:15Your VHS is back behind your buffet, you're going to lose it.
11:21See how much water they have in me before I let go?
11:24Nope, nope.
11:29We're making lids tonight.
11:31Just give me that.
11:35You ok?
11:36Yeah.
11:40Your VHS is still there, it's just to the f***ing outside of the buffet.
11:47Can you get it on camera too?
11:57I'm getting my coin to you.
12:01Here do you want to sort that out before you get into this?
12:04How am I getting it?
12:06I'm going to grab it, I can't do it.
12:10Just shove him up.
12:12Thanks lad.
12:13Alright.
12:15What a try.
12:25I think there's a lag in the weed here.
12:28Is there?
12:29I was wondering what was wrong.
12:35What?
12:37The rudder hanging off the back of Cat Mule.
12:43Here you stay there and I'll get up alongside you.
12:47Back, back, back.
12:52It looks this way.
12:56It just lifts up and drops in the back.
12:58Big wave coming.
13:01Do you want to get in and just f***ing throw the thing in?
13:04Into the quieter water Graeme?
13:06Yeah.
13:08What's the best way of tying the kayak on like so it doesn't, so it doesn't, it doesn't get out.
13:15You can drop it, see if you slot it in there and it'll probably only drop it in.
13:22And I'll do it the other way, twist it.
13:24That way, that's how you do it.
13:27That's better.
13:28Yeah.
13:34That's alright.
13:36That's good.
13:37I'll jump in.
13:40I know I'm a calm looking one.
13:44You need to move.
13:48Get the f*** out of here.
13:50Grab that cord.
13:51Yeah.
13:54You coming in or?
13:55Yeah.
13:56Yeah.
13:59Ready?
14:00Yeah.
14:03You alright?
14:05Hey mate, do you want to hold the kayak?
14:08Yeah.
14:09Grab it.
14:10Grab it.
14:11Grab it.
14:12Just slowly.
14:13Very slowly.
14:14You're not going to get it.
14:15Oh yeah.
14:16I'll try again.
14:20Right?
14:21Yeah.
14:23Slowly.
14:24That's it.
14:25Yeah.
14:27That's it.
14:30That's it.
14:33That's it.
14:36That's it.
14:39That's it.
14:42That's it.
14:45That's it.
14:48Thank you very much.
14:58Maybe we'll laugh our bullocks about it a bit.
15:08Remember the day that stupid prick fell in?
15:13How long you go?
15:14Yeah, that was Mike's fault.
15:15back of the kayak and pulling you straight from the back. That was going through my head
15:19but when the big waves were coming I was like go, go, keep moving. We could have slowly
15:25pulled you backwards. It would have been far better. The bigger them waves got, the bigger
15:33the brown stain on the trousers. Thank you gentlemen, not from the north. Get us away
15:49from here. We're going to go and hide. Here, where's that **** ass, come on now. They're
16:01counting casualties. Right yous lucky bastards going to catch a monster. I hope so. Hop a
16:08try around that bay, whatever the spot, whatever there is there, they definitely like it. God
16:19damn it. Well, we're past an hour, half an hour, everybody excited as ****. That's not
16:37supposed to be the best part of the day. No man. Well, I'm going to be under fire. Only
16:47for some bollocks turning me upside down, I probably would have too. Good luck lads.
16:54Well, that's that. Excitement over. Had a bagel. Took me down to the falls again. There
17:22was a waves are close by. See if they can give me a tow. They did, but the tide was
17:32too quick. I ended up in the falls. And then the card caught in the boat and flipped the
17:38kayak. Well, it ties to a big **** yard. Had to cut the line, unfortunately. Because the
17:47swell was mighty big. Too big. Too big for fish. So that's why you wear a dry suit.
17:55Any mishaps, there's no real drama. Fall off, we get back in again and we're dry and we
18:02can paddle home and comfort and dryness and we're not freezing to bits. That's why you
18:08don't wear a dry suit for any type of fishing on the kayak. This suit here is made by Ur-Suit.
18:21Fantastic company from Finland. Make the best dry suits on earth. They're absolutely made
18:32of top quality stuff. I'm obviously soaking now. But this one here was designed by myself
18:42and John Griffin from Urs Kayak Angling. Between us we have about at least 25 years kayak angling
18:51experience. And we got talking to Tony and Sully at the Swords Angling Show. We're mighty
19:01impressed by their dry suits on the stand. And while admiring them and some of the great
19:08innovations on them, we got talking about dry suits. And in particular, we'd love to
19:17see one made for kayak angling. And between us, we made one. This suit's made specifically
19:26for kayak angling in mind. All the high rub areas, inside the arms, the legs, that kind
19:34of stuff, there is all Dumbly Enforced material. Plus this is a Vortex material here. It's guaranteed.
19:46Makers not to de-lamity. It's fantastic. I have this suit now, this is my third year
19:52with this suit. And it's had all sorts of abuse. And there's still not a mark on it.
19:59It's doing really well. It's had a lot of heavy fishing and a lot of paddling.
20:07By mostly fishing the salt water. It hasn't had an easy life but it's still immaculate
20:15and going strong. And as you see when I get back to the car, there'll be bones right,
20:20and bones right inside after my little dip out there.
20:27But yeah, I have to head home early today. I'm working night shift tonight.
20:34But yeah, big thanks to Mike and Brian for giving me a hand. The whole plan there was
20:42we were going to get towed away from the worst of the falls when over the rocks but
20:49we got close to the tide which was far too quick. And the cord went under the crack and
20:55a bit of swell in short. The rest is history.
21:00Unfortunately I had to cut the line away from the Barbiga. It's the last thing I want to do but
21:06it has to be done at some point. Unfortunately this time it has to be done.
21:09But hey, that's unfortunate. He's on a fine rustable circle hook.
21:20Not one of them new to fine gauge ones.
21:34So it will not last long at all.
21:40So yeah, that was my day. Fun bit of crack. I'll get one up alongside the kayak the next day
21:51when the swell's a bit better hopefully.
21:54All right folks, thanks for listening to my rambling on. Thanks again to Brian and Mike.
22:00I'm going to have to concentrate and paddle along so I'll talk to you all again. Thanks for watching.
22:13And the three shoe, the great thing in this three shoe is the zip.
22:18Goes on here and that's good. It's a zippable neck so you just step into the front of the suit.
22:25You don't have to, you don't have to get in the back or anyone to help you. A little name
22:31frame flap on the zip so it doesn't pinch you and it doesn't rub when you're paddling.
22:36Also the zip goes right down below the groin area. So if you need to get out your car keys
22:46or a key, if you can, or they're wriggling around like a mad thing,
22:52you can get into your pockets or whatever.
