I got my start at kayak fishing in Maui. When I heard this news, I got a hold of all my friends to make sure it wasn't them. Two of them were out fishing today in the same area, just further out towards Molokini. When I was there, I fished this area all the time and never ran into a shark. I knew they were around. I had friends who have been hassled by tiger sharks(bumped, chased, circled). I know I hooked into one once, that was a tough 30min. I ended up breaking him off and 9ft of my line looked like it was rubbed with sand paper. The pic below was taken by some lucky spear fisherman in the same area early 2013. This unlucky guy today was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Lesson learned, don't hang limbs over the side. Thought's and prayers to the family of the kayaker.
