Well it is on Fox, a sensational media channel. They just eat that sh*t up.

taggermike · 09-14-2015, 05:52 AM

Fear sells so these videos will continue to be popular. If there is a plus side it might be that these local shark vids show the sharks just being sharks. Circling, checking things out, not hurting people, then usually leaving. As opposed to videos of chummed up sharks behaving aggressively. What concerns me is these videos will draw shark killing "sportsmen" who seam to think killing sharks increases penis size. Enjoy you videos, show em to friends, post em on FB or here but please leave the news out of it. Mike

Looks like Ryan "Donigan" has been around for quite awhile...He should know better...in fact he does...

Ok I see you didn't tell the lifeguards about it...great, but you ran and told the news about it....WHY? I realize you were a few miles out...but again why alert the news media...so you saw a shark, so what?! At this point any press about sharks, La Jolla and kayaks is all negative for the future of kayak fishing La Jolla...there is no positive side of showing a shark and a kayakfisherman together....Really!

Haha, what media channel isn't sensationalized?

Everyone wants their 5 minutes of fame. Youtube isn't enough anymore, you have to get your videos on real TV. These guys will be telling their grandkids about being on TV.

OMFG....you? Who posted that ONLY A WEEK or so ago? WTF, seriously. Jim

IF you sold the usage and received a fee from FOX than maybe I'll give you a pass.

IF you gave it to FOX for FREE, then really, you just gave a gazillion dollar company FREE CONTENT, helped with the shark scare, pissed off your fellow kayak brothers, and help to ruin professional photographer fees........

Anyone in marketing? LJ needs some damage control. censorship never works.

Seems to me sharks are a great reason to close a launch to a deemed cause to the problem. This would be considered a victory to a lot of people (some LJ locals on this site, mlpa lovers and whoever else opposes what we do).

The media grabs this because of peoples lack of understanding and fear. Mostly fear, they know how to dish out the fear. These clips don't land on their doorstep too often.

What if we gave the media all the shark videos and stories we can muster. 100s of videos. New and HOPEFULLY OLD. Let them realize how often this happens with no "news worthy" outcome.

Just a thought.

Uhhh....Because the news will turn it into something that it is not....no matter what network it is...

Is that who I think it is trolling a bonito in a tin can?

Lipripper92592 · 09-14-2015, 10:36 AM

Kook Kook Kook.......

kjsdad619 · 09-14-2015, 10:39 AM

I bleed mine out a mile west of kelp, rinse the yak, place in PA hatch and when its time to head back I gut them right around same spot, rinse, repeat and then of course after some sweet pics. I catch amnesia once asked about sharks..

The best marketing for bad press is no response. The longer you argue, the longer it will stay in the public eye. Also, they are going to twist whatever is said or shown to something newsworthy. That these encounters are common will never make the headlines, and thus never get to Joe Public.
