Wide open fishing in Newport! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

My best day fishing in a long time. Didn't even bring any fish home.

Hooked up a couple short Halis, a few nice Calicos.

The best part was first thing in the morning, I get taken for a ride by a big ass T shark. I had 60 pound line on a 113. What a blast, he stayed low.

He finally decidedes to make a run straight at my kayak, I'm reeling my ass off....faster...faster....

The beast jumps out no more than 10 feet from my yak. Straight up in the air. My rapalla flies right at me, missed my head by a foot or so.

I got one glimpse of the creature, a conservative estimate of 4-5 foot body, 2 foot tail.

Made my day.

Can someone with experience describe how to subdue Mr.T? When I saw him out of the water I felt very unprepared.
