Flipped by a whale Tues - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Amazing story Chris. Glad you are still with us to tell it.

Now tell us how your wife reacted when you told her you lost another kayak full of gear. I bet that was a bit awkward.

If you need a loaner, I have not started using the Torium you sold me when you upgraded to those hot new Saltists. It is yours if you need it.

What Bob said. If I have an extra of what you want and you need it, consider it yours. Hell of a fish tale you got there.

Glad you're okay Chris.

Did you see the whale when it was under you? Does your fishfinder still work?

santa cant bring you back but the gear is in his sled ready to deliver

I bet that was a couple of intense minutes.

Go buy a lottery ticket - if you can collide with a whale winning the lottery should be a cinch.

Wow, glad you made it out unscathed

........gear is replaceable.....sounds like the work of a GWS, minus it tearing into you....did you actually see a whale?
