Yes, but landing a keeper on a kayak could tun bad in an instant. They bite hard and fast, and are contortionists.

He may even jump in your lap just to bite you, they bite at anything.

Awesome video, guess your technique worked although that looked like an angry little shark with some sharp teeth!

Great video! That is why I have the EXTRA Loooonng needle nose on board! Those little suckers will contort when you least expect it. It's all fun and games until someone loses a pinky
