Guy said he was in 25 feet of water right off the rock. The bite looked like it came from the bottom. Very lucky guy!

Damn, those guys have a serious sack fishing there. Ano Nuevo, just a couple miles south, is an extremely sick right hand break that nobody surfs. I wonder why?

Elephant seals are the preferred prey there and funny how the silhouette of a kayak looks about the same sitting in the water.

Good thing he was on an Outback and not a Revo or Adventure. :eek:

Glad he's OK. I would have come back to shore immediately for a change of pants.

Imagine if he was filming with a GoPro when it happened! That would have been some epic video.

The GW attack that happened back in the 50's was right next to the rock at La Jolla Cove. The people standing at the walk by the cove saw and heard the whole thing.

Considering the 25" Greenback I caught yesterday (my personal best) and clean water, I would say you have a very good chance of an up close and personal experience with a Giant Mako or GWS.

That Outback is the same color as a seal. Stay away from that color! :drool5:

I'm pretty sure they like Greek food better than Mexican food. BTW, this is the time when more GW sharks are spotted in La Jolla. C-ya tomorrow Yani. I got lots of squid to shum the water. :afraid:

Is that why you only fish from boats and not from kayaks recently :confused:

Serious Question. I'm not just asking this because I'm an OK guy and I noticed in the video that the other guy was in a Prowler.

Do the Hobies seem to get hit more by GWS than any other kayak because of the shape and the drive shaft?I don't think they see to much in those waters, there is commotion up close and you know how it is, everything that moves is eatable.

I would put some cavitation fins on the outboard, motor sounds a bit rough...
if ya got some on, might think about adjusting height of the outboard, sounds like the motor is working a bit.

But what the phook do I know...threadjack!

I hope the reason whitey came up was the fins, I wouldn't be too worried about having my legs over the side. I think I'd be more worried about being able to cling to the top of the plastic...yikes.

Can't believe he got no teeth out of that one...:eek:

lol :) - That skiff is barely breathing. All you hear is the wind ripping past the cell phone.

It runs a legitimate 33 MPH on the GPS.
4 Stroke EFI Motor and gets better than 10 MPG.
