Finally got outside to the blue water. Put in some trolling hours with not much to show. The wrecks were kind of quiet as well. Did pull up a couple though. The wind is down for a bit so should be able to get out a bit more often. Boy those sharks are aggessive.
had the same trouble one day in the Everglades with snook. the sharks were everywhere. nabbed one of the fish I had on and they chased many more. they were definitely in hunting mode. watching a six foot shark push and slither through mangrove roots and out of the water over top of them chasing fish was an awesome sight! I was impressed watching their raw power and seeing their aggressive instincts kick in once the dinner bell rang. the guide said they were either Lemons or Bulls. great video!
Yea, their agility is amazing. Definitely makes you understand that trying to swim to get away from them isnt going to work. LOL. They are awesome creatures although they sure can be a pain in the ass.
Holy cow.. awesome video. That bite out of your fish... crazy.
The fact that the water looks so calm and within seconds 3 sharks appear out of nowhere is insane to me. You are crazy going out on some floating plastic
Sharks are not into eating humans. While they tend to be interested in checking them out, an attack is a very very rare occassion
A sharks version of “interested in checking humans out” is with their bite, which can result in death. So although they don’t go out of their way to eat a human, they can still cause death through just checking them out. Pretty crazy
@@JOEL-ui3nm right, but even that is super super rare. And If you are on a kayak they wont be able to do it. On the other hand, you dont fear to die in a car accident when leaving your house, right?
Emiliano Zapata if you are on a kayak ofcourse they can still do it, very easy to knock into the kayak and flip the person into the water. There’s videos on KZhead of that actually happening.
@@JOEL-ui3nm Sure, I ment the realy rare occassion where a shark "Test bit" someone. Not him not beeing able to knock a Person of his kayak. You know, the shark isn't a crazy mastermind of evil that think about ways to get to some more test bitings. :-) they dont have a reason to knock of a human from a kayak, thats why you dont hear about this beeing a thing...
I just love it. I been fishing the keys for 20 years, and never saw shark that lost interest for the fish and was more curious about you and you boat, you got big balls to retrieve the fish from the water.
shark bite = the ocean's 10% commission on all catches.
Yup, that is the job of the Tax man.
except sharks get rekt by killer whales
S0cK I was trying to point out that sharks are not the apex predator in the ocean and that it's actually the killer whale, but you obviously couldn't see the underlying meaning in my words cause you sir are a moron. :)
Great white is at the top. Though in most of the ocean it's the Killer whale.
Wrong! Killer Whales are smart enough to work in teams, not like the anti-social Great White. He will always lose because he refuses to make friends.
I would never go out there floating on a piece of fiberglass plank.
That's why no one will remember your name...
Taras B. Ukrainian Fine with me.
Taras B. Ukrainian they won’t remember yours... just the pieces of fiberglass that wash up bitten into pieces.
@@tarasb.ukrainian1947 except for his family, friends and coworkers.
Wait until you see people fishing on inflatable kayaks
Your insane! I just started fishing and couldn’t imagine being on that tiny thing with bait on my lap and sharks swimming around me
The infinite void underneath your kayak makes me nervous
Right. I'll stick to my boat in the ocean. I've watched Jaws at least a dozen times
Actually, once you are out there it will feel surreal
@@Crooks103 I've seen Jaws multiple times. I'd always feel like 😨
When ever swimming out there I always get this weird fear of falling feeling even though you're floating
Amazon delivers tampons you know!
We're going to need a bigger boat.
The captain died on that one. He would have survived if he was on a kayak. LOL.
Jackel1994 YES!!! WE ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO NEED A BIGGER BOAT !!😨😨😨
How is he's balls fitting in that one :O
Smile you son of a!
Jaws reference, nice!
I liked when you bopped a shark with the go pro
Yea, it's duel purpose. Kayak biting prevention and cool videos.
Cooldog71 should of bopped him with a .45.
Bullets dont work in the water unless they are specifically designed for it. Doubt a 45. is up for a task.
merk alert tv why? Because youre a little bitch who doesnt respect nature's order? Killing an animal if you arent going to use it or if your life isnt in danger is just pointless and border line sociopathic. On top of it all, its unnecessary...
Ericbaum well i mean technically bullets do work in the water, they just don't work very well. Lol
This man is a real fisherman. Great video
Had a friend disappear offshore doing what you're doing. They found his boat, but never found him. Just remember the big ones can bite your boat in half.
There is a guy who posted on KZhead “why I no longer do ocean kayak fishing” was attacked repeatedly by a large hammerhead shark.
@@speedmaster001 it was not large, it was some young pubescent, but that made it even worse, it was persistent in the attacks
R. W It wasn’t even large. It was a juvenile.
@@Nocomment552 Oh and that's going to save you from his daddy when he slides in behind him? Good luck with that buddy. Had some friends go snorkeling 100yrds offshore when a school of 4' to 5ft Black Tips came in on he and some friends. Little sharks took 3" to 4" bites out of his leg and a girl got bit in the side, before they were rescued by a passing boat, and these were smaller sharks than your shark. Your talking to a commercial fisherman who lived on the water for 20 yrs, an expert who knows what I am talking about. Think about what I said as you get passed through the bowels of some sea monster, you dummy.
Parrot Bill Bruh, chill. I was just stating it wasn’t even a large shark (in comparison to a full grown hammerhead). Didn’t say anything about it not being dangerous.
This is kind of scary! :) But I'm blown away by the color of the water and all the sharks!
They don't care about anything but the fish that they want to eat. In clear water like that, they aren't going to mistake you for food.
That was a really pretty scene. What kind of sharks were they? Bull?
I thought the same thing beautiful blue water! That would’ve pissed me off too after the fight he had with catching that fish! Just come in and take a big fat bite out of it why don’t ya! Bullies lol 🙄😡
Man in kayak floats on surface of ocean with live bait dangling over the side what could go wrong
*Shark Comes In at **8:35*
Great video, btw. This is for the non-anglers here (I'm sure very many) who just came to see the action!
shark said, thanks mate!
my hero
wow; check out that tail kick..
whats the fuck are you on about?
8 minutes in and I'm fighting that fish with you all the way, at least until the "oh shit shark" appears then your on your own lol. Brilliant commentary and brilliant video. This type of fishing is definitely on my to do/bucket list 10/10
Normally i would say how stupid it is to fish in a kayak in the ocean but this guy has balls of steel. Not only to take in THE top predator in his arena but to taunt him after he won. You, sure, are more man than I.
Man what a day to be on the water. Gorgeous!
Yea, love the sky and the blue water when it is nice like that.
I like how there is just a perfect bite-shaped hole in that fish that the shark took a bite of.
while the poor fish was still alive 😢
Awesome film. Beats the hell outta network tv. Thank you bro.
Legend has it the sharks are still looking for the fish they bit.
Key West Kayak Fishing I read jigs as "legs" and had to retread that. 🎣
Hell of a morning work out!
It definitely gets the heart rate up.
+1Corinthians1:3 Hahaha such a lovely sentiment coming from a guy with your username. You seem upset about something.
1Corinthians1:3 Hey! I live in Key West, and this is a daily way of life. In fact, I live in a trailer park in Stock Island if I were too be specific. I am the epitome of a poor person. So please do research before calling someone out on something so far from the truth.
I heard the fish saying "how does it look? They got me good right?"
Lmao
Now this is what i come on youtube to see. That was a cool badass video, great content! and thx for posting it and sharing your experience with the rest of us! that was very entertaining my man!
now this sort of fishing would have interested me.. canal fishing in sheffield, usually when it rains. never seemed to capture my imagination.
Crystal clear water, blue skies, sun. Or rain. Hmmmm. Actually, I think the latter would be the choice for most activities. Even when it rains over here it is not a cold rain, so not too much of a bother. Cools things off a bit.
Hahahaha legend!
Only thing i ever caught fishing by the canal in Leeds was hypothermia . . . so i swapped Leeds for the crystal clear blue waters of Australia and now i catch fish and get sunstroke instead
poms are never happy :p
Sheffield = best city
Some "Old Man and the Sea" shit there.
I should have strapped that damn shark to my yak.
Big_Adam_2050
Man, not always the apex predator...
This is so cool what time of the year do u do this
Ernest Hemingway was such a good author with that book
This was a great price! My husband checked all the other national outdoor suppliers and this was by far the best price and delivered right to our door :)
The 1000 dislikes are from commercial fisherman who charge money to take people out to that wreck. Great video. Your man card is firmly punched, my friend.
That fish totally thought it went to heaven
It's there now.
Eights not many comments actually make me spit my drink...well done you!
Eights ....Sorry friend,but that fish did NoTTTT Go2 heaven.Im a old acquaintance of the fish ,the my old Beta named 'Louie' that was with me a few years back.. Louis was a pet store betta fish but had a checkered past, as well as a lot of baggage from his past as well. We would have conversations, yes I do speak fish like Aquaman, and he personally knew the fish in this video they used to hang out. Although bettas are regarded as a freshwater fish in most we are. Louie had some sort of mutation that allowed him to swim in both saltwater and freshwater kind of like a bull shark. I never asked how particularly he was able to do that. But regarding the fish in this video they used to go out drinking together at a lot of fish night clubs in the Atlantic and Pacific even chilling at times with SpongeBob SquarePants and Squidward. The fish's name was Sam Louie said when they would be out and fix nightclubs Sam would be under the influence and drinking too much and start to force himself on on lady chick fishes this happened multiple times and Louie basically regarded him as a sex offender. In Louie didn't roll like that. Anyways the word in the pond is that Sammy the sex offender fish got caught and one of the girl fish press charges and they ended up spending a decent amount of time fish prison where he was violated buy a giant octopus that was a cellmate in the shock collar on that block. At the end of the day it looks like Sandra is out of prison and is something definitely to stay far far away from. I'm just letting you know.
GiGi_413 wtf is this comment?😅
Hooefully you capsize and disappear soon ass fuck
You poked the shark with the GoPro. Now you're a savage.
Yea, now the PETA people are going to come after me.
LOL !!
Don't eat my camera, shark!

I would have cut that line with the quickness
Hahaha
I'd be like : "NOP, you can have my line my hooks shiiit you might as well take my rod with you, imma out"
I Love this type of adventure! Love your videos!!!
Great video! Your dedication to filming your fishing trips are amazing.
Thanks Warren. Its a lot of work but its fun.
Now I see how people get their arms bit off lol.
That is why I dehook fish with my feet. It throws the Sharks off.
Key West Kayak Fishing your smart

don't forget those things happen just 5 times a year. It's kinda like if a stranger broke into your house and stole your food. But hey that's bio.
Arturo Gonzalez actually, shark attacks occur a bit more often, but there are only 6 sharks deaths a year
Incredible fishing. Great kayak set up too
Awesome video. I really appreciate the waypoints! (Really class act move!). Now I can give the same spots a try myself. I’m up in Palm Bay Florida and head down your way as often as I can, I usually stay on the Navy base. Hopefully if things work out we might bump into each other on the water and do some fishing. Take care. Respectfully, Mike
that was a big bite.lol, damn sharks
Yea, they suck. Waste of a good fish. Too lazy to hunt for their own.
I just love how it starts with one shark, spiraling upwards with the fish, then there was three. My soul would've died, and I would have been screaming JUST TAKE THE FISH, TAKE THE FISH AND GO! xD
Nature is awesome. That first shark had some spins on him. I never knew that they were that agile.
I knew they were agile but didn't know they could cut those turns like that. Would be terrifying to be in the water with them.... What do you do if they get caught on the hook but you don't want a shark? lol
Also love the scene where you smack the shark with a gopro. LOL I thought he was gonna bite it and take it from you, but it spooked him.
Geminei123 sharks like sand-people are easily startled but soon return and in greater numbers
LETS PLAY A GAME well call it racist or star wars fan
I hope you will be around next summer when we come to the keys? I would love to go fishing with you! Thanks for sharing your videos 👍👍👍👍
3 sharks and my guy straight chillin lol. Awesome video!
Looks like an amazing adventure. Good onya mate.
Great catches and great footage!
Thank you Ethan. Glad you liked it.

Outstanding video, excellent from start to finish. Headed out, working some bait balls, going for bigger mackeral bait, you can really see how hard this "work" can be... what fun! Then up comes Mr Gray Suit... then another... then a 3rd... woohoo! You did well amigo, cheers.
This is really taking fishing to another level.
I feel bad for the poor fish, he could have just thrown it back in for the sharks to kill him or do it himself instead of letting him suffer like that for the camera
:(
Fish have no sense of feel
@@JenShaw22 just like you
really sad action. and people love it.
@@JenShaw22 ive never heard something so stupid
I think you need a bigger boat : )
TL Ezzy : He needs a boat, not a kayak with a motor on it.
@@graceleah3216 it's a reference to Jaws movie you uncultured swine
The saying goes (I think we’re going to need a bigger boat ) JAWS!!!!
My heart is in my mouth every time he reach in to pick up the fish!
Really cool rig you got there. Thanks for sharing.
And this is why my brown ass fishes from land
Amithrius I fish as far way from shark's as possible!
Haha that was funny man.
While my butt is a different color, I tend to follow the same rule pattern. Lakes are probably fine though
The bull shark love fresh water too lol
MrJohnscream heh. Yeah that's true. But for most of my fishing life I was accustomed to "eyes up, watch for bears" and bears are basically land sharks (let that sink in for comedy effect). Guess we aren't safe anywhere. Now I live with gators. Not safe anywhere!
Man I don't care if I get paid in dirt, I just want to live by the ocean and fish every day.
Sorry, we can't pay you in dirt. We only have beach sand. LOL. Plus it is hard to get because of all the bikini clad women lying all over it.
+Key West Kayak Fishing yea bleeding women's in their bikinis :)
savage
Tom, i will be the guy standing next to you.
TomNook77 lol.
I'm on Cape Cod and wait every year for fall when the False Albacore come .. my absolute favorite fish to catch! I use a 7 ft rod with a 5000 spinning reel and love the sound of them screaming line out.. they can pull my kayak around a bit too. Heading down to the Keys July 18th for my honeymoon. I'd love to get out there and try some fishing!
Wow, high tech motorized kayak. And shades of outrigger canoe too. That's really some set up you have.
Omg haha when you called that shark a f*cker I almost died😂
amazing footage
Thanks Matthew.
Matthew Benvenuti
Tim Larson what?
landon bates he
I'll say! Wow!
Dude that was so badass of you to grab the GoPro and get some footage of the Sharks. Well done.
man your heart was probably pounding out of your chest? I would have been freaking out!! great video man.
Guys crack me up. They are so relaxed and undaunted no matter what. lol Even pilots ... the men stay calm all the way to crashing point, making remarks like 'Here we go", or "this is it". The female pilots scream all the way down.
I curled up and cried after I turned the camera off. LOL.
Key West Kayak Fishing I just watched it again. This was so funny, especially you teasing them about winning.
Where do you stash those huge fish? its not like you have all kinds of room on your lap and legs.
Susie Arviso well now, see you generalized that statement. me I have a certain phobia of sharks. if I'm out on a dinky little craft like that fishing ,Im walking back to shore on water. you ever seen a fat man run on water? no? I can do it.
I think that's an inaccurate assessment of female pilots. But this guy does handle his "aw shits" admirably.
if anyone gets into this sort of fishing be very aware....extra aware of your surroundings especially when by yourself in the open ocean. Try to go with a friend or two if you can. Also, don't be dumb ass. A guy here in Hawaii (on Maui) was Kayak fishing and chumming the water while his legs were hanging over. A tiger shark came up, bit his right leg right below the knee and took off all the meat down to the bone (like you could clearly SEE THE BONE) and took the guys foot off as well. He died from bleeding out shortly after they got him to shore or before that. I like fishing but, I'll never go Kayak fishing...at least never alone.
Mash Ups II
Aaaaand the boyfriend wonders why I'm such a coward about snorkeling in Maui & Kauai. You got some big creatures out there! Tiger Sharks are the ones I'm scared of. I snorkel, but I'm never fully relaxed in HI waters. Always watching my back. I know sharks aren't the maneaters depicted in _Jaws_ , but they do make mistakes on occasion, and I look an awful lot like a juicy seal in my rash guard & flippers! You have some _fantastic_ marine life. Never fails to remind me just how small I really am.
Buy a shark shield is my advice too
Loving the setup, super cool. Also cool video with the Iguana you found way out off shore.
Pretty cool spot bro and great vid! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for checking it out Mel.
such cool footage. i love fishing from my yak.
Casey Read, In the Ocean? BITE DOWN, CHOW TIME! You'll be bait real soon!
throw the fish back and let the sharks have it. 1/4 of the meat is gone
He's a single guy. What's left was surely enough for a meal. (Well, at least I would have eaten it. Can't exactly C&R 75% of a fish, lol...)
Fuck that. It was his fish. Sharks can eat a dick
That blue water is always stunning. Kayak fishing is a challenge at best. No idea where you keep a large fish.
Love all the camera angles. Your good, and bold.
Man I would never go that far out on any body of water...
it makes no sense at all
@@gboy4893 it makes more sense than it doesn't
pussies
I’d go out, with a friend.
Why not obviously there's bait and fish to be had only suggestion would be be careful pulling in those fish that hard line pops or Hook comes undone your in the drink .
This videos give are actually giving me anxiety(cause I hate the ocean and its inhabitants) but I can't stop watching them
I build sea kayaks from cedar...I build in outriggers with aluminum bars running through the kayak behind the seat. LOVE your outrigger. I don't know why anyone would use a kayak on the sea without them.
Wooh, that looks like a good arm and core workout! Reeling in a big fish from 100+ feet underwater!
I've always wanted to face plant into a shark. Thank you me experience this! 😊
Where do you put the fish after you catch them?
Man you are crazy. To scared to do this. Awesome to watch! 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
Some excellent catching man great video
Interesting video but I had a few thoughts. What do you do if the fish swings around to the other side of the kayak? You've got a lot of expensive gear there, rods and camera sticking up in back so you can's swing that way, and the pontoon and spare rod off to the right so you can't really swing around that way either.
Glenn Krzeminski I think the thing on the side helps
I have a rudder and I can reach the rod around the front of the kayak. Mainly just turn the kayak as the fish turns.
11:15 This man just went into THEIR spot. Took THEIR fish. SWATTED them away. And called THEM bitches for it. This man is a savage if i ever seen one
Great video man! Hello from California! Be safe!
Great vid. I've only been fishing in Florida a couple of times but had a shark take one of my mackerel and get hooked. We fought it for about a half an hour before it finally snapped the line. Was a great experience for a trout fisherman for sure.
Dude, your comebacks for the haters has left me in tears of joy ^O^!!!! I can't get over the 'why do this', 'why do that' when they're obviously just jealous that you go fishing and come back with awesome shark stories and they're can't bear to leave their basements to breathe fresh air ROFLMAO
LOL. You got it Erika. The trolls are fun to poke with a stick. The whole "the world evolves around me" comments is just hilarious.
Key West Kayak Fishing I think it's Revolves* not evolves
Quantum he missed a letter typing to fast, way to point it out.
Alex Nichols no he thought the saying was evolves
Well. If he had the money he could by a real boat :-D
Great video !
Thanks Yak. Really helped my channel grow.
Yeah man, your killing it! Keep it up!
Can't wait to get offshore in a kyak! Hope your fishywell
Peace ful
Sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost the account password. I love any tips you can offer me!
What a Great Vid Love the way you combine Fishing with great footage. Keep the Vids coming. Subbed Liked & shared. Cheers, Graham.
Heard you on a shout out. Came to your channel and saw what it is about. Had to subscribe you. I love fishing. I live with Jane we are in the Mohave desert on a gold claim off grid. ( we also have a home, this is just a fun challenge) that is a heck of a kayak. I would just love to see that and this is as close as it gets for me. We will come down that way in our Rv. But doubt I will get out or have the equipment for that sort of fishing. Man that looks fun!!! Like finding a big nugget. Oh ya there he is. I can’t imagine how fun! That is awesome man! Oh man ! That would scare the shit out of me. That was the best video I have seen . Ok selling the whole thing here and coming there to get my kayak .! Lol 😂
After having eaten Bonito fresh, I'd never sell, nor use it for bait. it's the best tasting fish I've ever had.
It is eaten quite often in many different places. The reason why it is not eaten very much down here is that we have a large population of Blackfin Tunas which are a higher grade. They are just as accessible so most find no need to eat Bonito.
It was my own opinion rather than a critique against you, but thanks for the information.
Sabu Uncia .....used to catch many a bonito off the Coast of Southern California back in the 70's. Cut out the center section of pin bones and bloody meat and it's mighty tasty!
It's alright... no where near the best tasting fish I've ever had, don't think I would kill a Bonita unless I need bait
I think snapper is my favorite fish. Good stuff right there.
"Your gonna need a bigger boat."
🤣
Man that sharks are scary considering being on a kayak! Great content!! New subscriber!!
Damn that was awesome footage!
Poor fish
Yea, he came out on the short end of the stick out of all of us involved.
Key West Kayak Fishing what kind of reel/rod
Key West Kayak Fishing q
Very very cool... do you guide people?
I'll take people out when the time works out. Just for fun though. If you check out my videos, I have a few mixed in there.
That's a helluva lot of work for a Bonita and a half eaten Amberjack. The Tax Man was out collecting today I see!!!!
Get yourself an Expandacraft modular boat and you'll have a much more stable platform to wrestle those big fish.
LOL. I think I will stick with my rig. It was designed for blue water.
Your rig is beautiful! No real need to “upgrade”.
J. Wesley Stevenson Nigga you on some minecraft shit
when you're in a kayak and the "BAIT" weighs 10 lbs you're probably in over your head
This video was so entertaining. Anxiety over how blue that water is because it's deeper than hell aside, I was like " go go go!" When you were bringing in the fish to get it before the shark did. Alas it one upped you this time mate 😂
I'm not afraid of sharks but the one spiraling up gave me goosebumps man, you must have some balls of stee!!
that kayak is dope as fuck
I don't think I could do it man. Sharks freak me the fuck out
They have the same tendencies as dogs. That is just how I treat them.
That's true in many ways, but add the wild animal factor combined with their ability to also strike unseen from below and/or above, and it can be serious trouble. Not to mention how big they can get.
Good Job Steve! Great channel.
kayak fishing looks so comfortable
Shark Behavior: why don't they just devour that fish? It's amazing they just swim around it. Maybe they are being cautious about the other sharks and your boat being potentially aggressors?
They are smart predators. They know something isn't right so they go into lock jaw. In the beginning when they are all erratic, that is there feeding mode. Don't put your feet in the water then. After that, when they are just cruising, they are just waiting to see if they will get a free meal. The wrecks are fished quite heavily so they hear those outboard motors, and it is like ringing the dinner bell.
Predators are also often hesitant about attacking an odd or sickly looking/acting fish or prey animal, in the off chance they could contract whatever ailment that their food has. With the fish spiraling like that I am assuming they thought it was just wounded.
Which means they'll eat it
Geminei123 uhhh ,no predators ,wolves,coyotes,hyenas,sharks,gators,etc sense the wounded in the herd and go for them first,if the boat wasn't there they would have tore that shit up
Key West is correct, though. They're smart fuckers. They hear motor, sense boat. That, to them, equals a free meal.
Just like the description in "Old man and Sea".
Super cool footage, subscribed!!
GREAT ACTION !!! GOOD STUFF BROTHER !!!
do you get scared when you see sharks up close like that especially in a kayak?
What happens if you hook one?
Cut that fucking line haha
BubbathyJ if it's me..I'll cut the line.
