I was watching that today. The two guys who do survival man went out there and had a black camera and a yellow one they even used the term (yum yum yellow) they had to put meat on the black one for them to be interested. Hahaha.

This explains why most kayak attacks by White Sharks are always from below, with the first bite either on the bow front or rear stern. Almost always, the kayaker will get knocked into the water.
Some powerful stuff... i never realized the amount of G-force that is involved... |

White Sharks
I spent some time with them on a 5 day trip to Guadalupe. Captain claims one was 23 feet?
Beautiful fish and seemed smart and careful. Took quite a bit to get them to eat a tuna head, not crazy aggresive like on T.V. Some guys freedive with them...That's a little over the top. However, there are always exceptions like that lady in a Yak at Catalina a few years back.... |

So you mean to tell me the GWS bites? I thought they were very gentle giants. boy did I have it all wrong. Do they like Blue kayaks or only yellow?

No footage that day of my encounter. I wasn't even thinking about footage...I just kept on repeating to myself as he was circling me, "This can't be happening" over and over again. And yes... positive ID Great White! Many of the divers have been seen them more and more lately. I went fishing in La jolla last friday but not alone...we came back early. the size of the GW really shocked me!! Take a buddy with you if you can..and try not to stay out too late. for a while anyways. BTW, this is NO JOKE! Last edited by driftwood; 08-14-2012 at 02:32 PM. |
