    I don't know, kind of looks like the dog chasing the car, what you going to do with it if you catch it? The fish may be as big as the boat and has more and sharper teeth than the angler. We are only the top of the food chain at home.

    Worst possible strategy: Swim for it!

    Big Jon is from Texas and he was happy just to be out...truth is he is a big man and too heavy for all my kayaks so the NuCanoe was only the possible option...if he actually sits on the seat he will sink...while sitting there in 3ft of water a shark began closing in and Jon went to his knees in the center of the kayak to balance out the load...he stayed that way for a long time while I laughed out loud...you should have seen the size of the lemons out today...I will download the pictures shortly

    here is a sample of what it looks like without wind...the above shark is a blacktip and the shark below is a big lemon...easy to tell from the yellowish/tan color and also the 2nd dorsal that people think is the tail but the full veiw picture shows the total length...this one is near 8ft

    Awesome!

    I'll never forget the shark dive I did in South Africa a few years ago. We had an 18 foot Great White swim by! It was one of the most amazing things I've ever witnessed. Oh, and guys...there's no music playing in the background as they swim by, hehehe. That was actually the most unnerving thing about it; something that big didn't make even the slightest noise as it swam by at about 6 feet!

    TT.

    Cordell, I think I would've been laughing along with you, lol.

    T-thumbs,
    You are exactly right... they are totally quiet as they swim by AND no matter what size they are, they look like they are 8-feet long when you are in the water with them until they go over you! Our shark dive off of Paradisio Reef in 1987 brought on some 4-footers that were a little too friendly, and 6-footers that looked very hungry. They were rubbing against us (12-divers) and gave us quite a show. I have never been so glad to get back into a boat... but the adrenaline rush was like no other.
