Another shark vs. yaker encounter. What I noticed....
* The stability of the yak. That dude was pulling a nice fish from deep down, yet didn't seem to be in danger of tipping. That's a Hobie Mirage. The only downside is no reverse with the foot peddles. You'll need a Native product for foot peddles and reverse.
* The dude is going to regret the way he reeled in the fish on the next cast. It's a Penn Senator reel which doesn't have a level wind. You're supposed to level the line with your thumb as you crank it in or it will backlash on the next cast. He'll learn soon enough.
* AG is jealous! But not for long
The water is finally warm enough to go out without freezing. Still need waders on, but at least won't freeze after getting wet.
