I find it hard to believe that we haven't had any 'I almost died' stories in over a year.

Maybe guy's are better educated on kayak safety now. Or else all us old guys have learned the hard way.

I'll take this over the alternate any day.

Here's to hoping this thread stays quiet for a long time....

Here's one from awhile back...

Was participating in a contest that ended at 4:00pm out at DP. I headed way down south about 3 miles. Didn't catch much all day until about 3pm, landed a Calico around 4lbs. Though I might actually have a chance to win so I peddled as fast as I could to try to make it back by 4. Legs cramped up about 2/3's of the way there but kept going.

Got back to the landing at 4:02, tried to get out of the kayak and fell over, legs wouldn't move. Thought I was gonna die!!!

PS, was too late and too small (and yes, that's what she said too).

Fell out of my kayak a few months ago (I had my vantage set as high as it would go) luckily I was in near the jetty with small surf. Got towed to the jetty jumped back in kept fishing.
