Those little bumps and bruises that the plastic end cap takes with normal use make great places for water to enter under pressure.

That is actually one in a trillion. I know the math, was just trying to add a bit of humor.

Well done though. Tail hooks are more of a fight because you can't turn them.
I am no expert either, but I do know a few things.

No, the first one was before I could get my camera down on that drop. The second one was too deep to film with my GoPro 4 dive case.

Brass Balls

"...I would not bring that mouth full of teeth into the kayak right by my groin..."
With Greg's Brass Balls that Halibut would loose some teeth...LOL...

I'm hoping Greg will bring some of that great underwater footage to the Fred Hall Long Beach Show in March with Team Sewer at the Hobie seminar area and show us regular folks how he gets those images...

So lucky on so many fronts, good job!

I'm not sure where those 'floating' gaffs go, lost mine on a thresher, never came back up.
