What a day out there. It went from a slow day, to nearly getting crushed by a boat, to catching a monstrosity of a lingcod! All in less than 15 minutes!!! In addition to a couple laughs, I hope this video reminds everyone that boats are just as dangerous as cars and need to be operated with care. Always be aware of your surroundings and watch out for each other on the water. Thank you guys for the view and stay safe out there!

Glad nobody was hurt in this incident. Aside from a few laughs, I just want to remind everyone to be aware of your surroundings and watch out for each other on the water. You wouldn’t drive a car without looking and the same goes for operating a boat. Stay safe out there and tight lines! Thanks for the view!
Time to invest into an orange flag on the back of your yak
time to make the Die-hard Fishing hi-vis hooded fishing shirt!!

I love how the dudes in the boat just stare at him like the damn peanut gallery. Sometimes I really feel that if you looked in some peoples heads, youd find them empty
I agree. I was driving today and I passed an older man just staring down at his phone while going 50 mph. On the way back I passed 2 women doing it. It’s unbelievable how many people just don’t give a shit until something really bad happens. And usually only when it happens to them.
Die Hard Fishing 😂 living up to the name I guess. Kayakers are the bikers of the water world lol
MOST people's heads
dumb ass kids bro
You had a good attitude about it. As a kayaker and 26’ boat owner I fear being hit and hitting others. That boater was an idiot. After many close calls I finally put a flag on my kayak and started wearing brighter colors. As a boater I can say it is hard to see kayaks and even other small boats some time. You always give the right of way to a kayaker and as a boat driver you are also responsible for your wake so those who boat around kayaks slow down because you are responsible if your wake flips another vessel, including a kayak.
Those two fukers were not even looking in the direction the boat was going. They were trolling....and as their boat passed him, they were too in shock to realize what had happened...but even so...they should have at least gone back and made sure his kayak wasn't holed and sinking or anything dangerous. Young kids to irresponsible to have a boat on water.
7:14 guys. You’re welcome.
Thank you
Thanks

I can’t believe how calm he is after getting hit by a boat. I’d be losing it if that happened to me
Well he was in the water what you want him to do stop drop and roll?

Weak minded people respond in anger. .
No retraint
@@droidnick was you in the boat that hit him?
I love how chill you are during the entire event. You looked back at the boat as it hit you with the "bruh" expression, then turned back to the camera with the "so yeah, that just happened" expression.

@@deafmusician2 I thought the same thing lol !!!
Asians never yell or get out of control , they just blink ferociously.

Or learn proper small boat ethics when it comes to bigger boats driving towards the sun.
@@SgtPickledic that sounds dumb, people need to slow down if they can’t see. No hats or sunglasses (stupid) . that’s why they didn’t even stop when they hit him. Dumbasses are plentiful

Always call these incidents in. Doing so could save someone else’s life the next time they’re not paying attention. I always carry an air horn can with me now, because I’ve had this happen before as well. Actually knocked me out, but my jacket kept my head up till I came to like 30 seconds later.

@@smelltheglove2038 no, he was trying to get out of the way, and a Kayak has the right of way over a powerboat! The power boater was at fault! California Registration CF 3245 SM was the registration number on the powerboat!

@@NittyGritty420 lmao thats one way to tell the world your an innately inept 2000s baby, that surrounds himself with pariahs
I just reported the incident. I hope they will fine the owner soon. This is unacceptable. Could have been deadly.
Scrolled to see if someone did, hoped I'd find it - especially since they didn't stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had the near miss (by a breath and a half) resulted in the boat bow impacting the kayakers body instead, the impact alone could have easily been fatal; .if not the impact alone,the kayaker would have suffered tremendous horrible injury,since the boater would have ran over him (further injury inflicted after the initial impact), and subsequently being chopped into by the outboard propeller. All of this would have taken approximately only two seconds. If this would not have in combination been fatal, the injuries inflicted would have caused the kayaker to breathe heavily in bodily reaction to breathe, and this impulse to breathe in desperately for air would have caused him to fatally drown (drowning).
Haven’t heard from the Authorities as of Today September 10th, 2019.
Did DieHard report the incident himself?? Better to come from the victim.. no?
@@tommyliu4683 This is irrelevant. If a citizen witnesses, say, your being hit by a car that runs away, you yourself may or may not communicate the event. However, the crime was witnessed and can be communicated to authorities by others, namely, the witnesses.

The way you kept your cool is legendary. I wish I had that kind of emotional control, especially for a situation like this. Mad props. Glad you are okay.
That could’ve been a lot more serious than happy to see anglers banding together projecting one another and standing up for what’s right keep up the good work
Turn in the number to the coast guard and press charges. Especially because they didn't stop, they obviously have no regard for anyones life and the law.
That was clearly hit and run! I posted same on taku's channel....Turn them in...You wouldn't let it slide if it was your car ? Right? In the meantime, tight lines 😎
I was infuriated that they just looked at him blankly as they cruised by, like "oh yeah, we hit a dude lol". No shock, no remorse, just fucking dopey ass casual faces. Turn those dudes in already, they don't deserve to be out there.
@@maethlin what pisses me off is that was a dad and his kids. now what was only 1 douch bag on the water is now 3 because of this fuckers shitty parenting. some people shouldn't have kids.

What he said .they gonna kill someone need to report that shit in .
Should've called the coast guard immediately. Take care of that phkd REAL quick..

Eyes on a swivel ALWAYS when you captain a boat, people! It’s not child’s play. You have to pay attention ALL the time. Beauty fish, btw. And great attitude.

If this vid finds its way to law enforce those guys are done.
@@Stay-vigilant My understanding is it went thru several agencies to the Harbor Patrol. The offender contacted the victim and apologized. Damage was minimal. There is a follow up video. kzhead.info/sun/Zt6inpWun6xno3k/bejne.html

@@johnbaker4847 6' minimum easy to get lost in the swells. But I agree!

You guys are so nice. I am glad he did not hit you and you’re safe. The boat guy needs a jail for couple months for not stopping and checking on you. Imagine if you were by self and something bad happened and he didn’t stop. It will not end well for you. For that I will report him to authorities.
True
That was completely bull that they didn't immediately stop and turn back to check on you. And they should definitely pay for all the damages to your kayak. The good thing is that no one was physically hurt. You got a big heart. Respect.

@JohnGalt009 - I appreciate your carefully crafted reply, but you do realize that I am not the guy in the video, yes?
I know I’m watching this ten months later . But he should get their registration numbers off the boat and called the coast guard or police . They need to be held responsible for their actions on the water . They didn’t even stop to see if you were alright . They also should pay for repairs to you’re boat ⛵️.
I'm sure he did. His friend was telling he knows where the boat is from or something.
I agree 100%

I love how the guy gets slammed by the boat and stays totally calm, cool and collected, while his buddy literally become unhinged! Nice job staying cool under pressure there Captain!
That's what a good friend does. He had to be disoriented so its tough to have the right response in such situations.

UPDATED: Before commenting saying to report these guys or whatever, watch Die Hard's updated video kzhead.info/sun/Zt6inpWun6xno3k/bejne.html Interestingly I'm still getting pinged (even after a month from DH's original video post) by commenters that I should report the boat guys, or whatever anti-california geopolitical bs some of these viewers have. Seriously, many folks need to chill, be glad that Die Hard is safe, and we can watch more of his video adventures (with Mrs DH too!). Hopefully November crab season videos soon!!! -- My original comment The guys CF 3245 SM boat tag at 7:22 clearly seen in the video. That boat owner should lose his boater card for negligence, if he even had one to begin with. The boat operator didn't even go back and confirm the safety of the person he hit. You really should take it up on him at least in small claims court for damages to your kayak.
No..he should go to prison for attempted manslaughter
@@versatec1 Attempted manslaughter? At least google what the right thing to say is first.
Lose there fishing license for life.
I definitely wouldnt want to be on the water with those idiots. He's a better man than me though, I'd have been waiting for them at the dock.
He should have used his radio and reported him to the Coast Guard
I've had a few boaters blast past me and wake me while fishing on my kayak. Never been hit by one. You handled it very well. That cod was nice. I use a big flag on the back of mine now. Saying they did not see you is a sad excuse for not paying attention on the water. At least this story had a positive ending.
I like those safety flags but they are a pain in the ass if your line gets hung in it while casting because it’s directly behind you
Nice shot of those CF numbers. Lingcod is my favorite fry-up!

You get hit by a boat, keep fishing with a broken rudder and busted seat, and then net a monster ling on your knees facing backwards in the yak! Die hard fishing for sure! You're a badass and awesome vid
The fact that they didnt even stop and apologize for almost killing you is just plain wrong. If i were the boater i would immediately make sure the other guy was okay and apologize for almost running over a man.
this why i always carry the glizzy when on the water. Aint no police out there. Shoot first ask questions later on idiots who wanna try to kill you because of their carelessness.

You got their faces and none of them even looked old enough to have a boating license.
Daniel Prince that is what I was thinking.
Daniel Prince Lmao you can get a boating license at like 13.
Darin Kaiser no not at all.its just like gaming, you could choose to go spend your money on a brand new ps4 but we choose to put our money into fishing and boating.You do not need to rich and spoiled to enjoy boating so shut your fat ass up

I lived on a sailboat for 12 years. I was a captain of a commercial fishing vessel for the same amount of time. This happens all the time. Most people out in the water (weekend warriors) should never get behind the wheel of a boat.
Very cool customer in that very dangerous situation. Glad he got home safe.
The way you handled that crash earned you a sub. Definition of Die hard fishing.
That ling was huge! I'm so glad you were able to gain that few extra feet before he hit you. I don't understand why he wouldn't even apologize.
Outdoor Chef Life yeah he didn’t even apologize. I think I heard him say he didn’t see after Nick went after him. It’s one thing that he got close, but this case that boater actually cause property damage.
Totally clueless, its a shame because most fishermen are really looking out for each other on the water. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to be the case this time.
Die Hard Fishing I’m surprised how calm and cool head you are. Glad your safe and congrats on your PB ling.
I'm glad Nick got to say something. Y'all woulda had to censor all the footage if I was there
Narcissists dont apologize. We are all shocked that he didnt stop because that's what a normal human would do. It is called empathy. Narcissists like him dont have any empathy for the rest of us around them. They only care how they are affected by everything. They do not care about how they affect the world unless they can gain something from it. He had nothing to gain here so he wrote you off.
Wow man, really close call. At least u captured the hull number on camera!
'Young man of the sea' moment with that huge lingcod. Great presence of mind to keep on keeping on!

Damn! Those people on that boat didn't even flinch. I hope you reported them. Don't be passive with this incident. They are dangerous. Glad you're okay.

@@ineedmondayoff I feel ya bud. What made it worse was the guy did not really say a word back when he should have went directly to DH to see if he was ok. That hurt to watch. It really pissed me off as i was watching the vid.
You have a nice friend Made my day hearing him yelling at a boater guy. And he get so excited when you cough that fish.
You handled that so much better than I would have crazy you got it on vid!
You are so kind. I would have filed charges just to teach those boaters a lesson. I don’t think they learned because they didn’t stop to learn if you were okay nor to ask if there was damage and offer to pay for it. Even after being approached!
I'm not sure you know that you almost died. If you hadn't paddled/peddled forward like you did they would have broadsided you. Even at that low speed, the impact could easily have knocked you unconscious and pushed you under the boat. The outboard engines propeller could have killed or maimed you. You did the right thing by moving, but you should file charges against these kids, not just for nearly running you over, but for not stopping after they hit your vessel. Call the Coast Guard.
Eric Wichman next time fly a bright flag, maybe a boat that is not blue, a life jacket blue, a cooler blue, a black hat. Wow. I think he was trying to hide. I can’t think of better camo then that!

You’re extremely calm for someone who just got hit by a boat. Props to you.
No pun intented
Nearly was literally
I appreciate you being so cool about the situation but I think you should have at least made them pay for the damages. Maybe that would make them pay attention a little more in the future and not kill anybody.
Some people are just soft or don't like confrontation. A lot of people shoot first and ask questions later.

This was the first video of yours I saw. Been following ever since.
Those guys are clueless. I would have reported them. No “are you okay?” or stopping. They suck. Great catch by the way.
@Mike Lyons Wouldn't have helped since the boaters weren't even looking forward. He even had his net & rod sticking up, so tell me how a flag would've helped.
@Mike Lyons It’s not hard at all to see a kayak on the water, especially on a small boat like that, and ESPECIALLY when you have passengers on the boat. The chance that the driver and passengers didn’t see the kayak is almost 0. I’m inclined to believe they either tried to hit him on purpose or tried to get close to scare him and ended up accidentally hitting him instead (which is probably most likely)
Dont know if anyone reported this but I just submitted this video to CalTIP I hope something will be done
Yes, the boat operator clearly nearly committed manslaughter. You can actually see him looking right at our kayaking friend in the photo caught by the go pro. The boat operator knew exactly what he was doing. The boat operator made no change at all to avoid him. He drove into him missing broadsiding him and killing him by two feet, had he not worked the pedaled rapidly as he could. He did not slow down at all. The boat driver then kept going, motoring away without any regard to our friend he just hit. This may actually be manslaughter with indifference to killing. Which the severity moves from manslaughter to a type of murder in degree.
The boat driver did not change course at all. In fact, motored the boat in a straight beeline directly into collision head on into the kayak. In a wide open sea, he pinpointed motoring directly into this tiny space, the space if a single kayak at sea. It is very obvious the boat driver knew exactly what he was doing. Look again at the footage. The driver has made no attempt to in the slightest manner manuever by the tiller the bow the boat. He has been filmed actually ramming the kayaker, fully knowing the kayaker is exactly there. Look carefully at the footage. The boat driver is actually looking right at the kayaker. He is making no alteration in course. He does not even slow in speed. He just rams the kayaker. Note that the kayaker is not moving at all; not in any motion.

@mike force not really. I mean if the filmer was killed maybe manslaughter, as in unintentional causing death. But lucky for all the kayaked was not seriously injured. As such really the only thing that is likely to happen is to have them pay for the repairs. Hard to say if they can have boating operator's license revoked. Depends on the jurisdiction. Unfortunately as serious injury did not result likely nothing will result.
forced how wouldn't it be manslaughter? You broadside a kayak going 20+ kph that boat is going over the kayak and the guy paddling it...what do you think would happen to a skull after a 20+ hp motor with prop goes through it?
You handled that more peaceably than i could.
Here is a idea that might help you. Walmart sells airhorns and they are fairly cheap. That would have definitely got that boater's attention.
I love how humble this guy is. I would have been practicing my filleting skill on the lads in the boat.
No you wouldn't have.

So weird this popped in my recommendations. Two days ago a guy on a boat clipped the back of my sons paddle boat (he’s 9) and tries yelling at my son. I live on the lake he paddles in and told me and showed me the boat. I waited at the only boat ramp and waited for the guy. Let’s just say he was a bit more bruised up when he left than when he arrived. Put someone’s kids life in danger and you better watch your ass. He’s lucky I didn’t shoot him

Logan Abbas no he didn’t. I am usually not a violent person but when a obviously intoxicated man starts getting in my face after nearly mowing over me son w his boat he had it coming. I probably should have just called the cops but the anger had the better of me at that point..
Cops probably wouldn't of done much but write a incident statement, if he was drunk he surely didn't wanna talk to the cops too. I'm sure the way you handled it the guy learned his lesson and will think twice about acting that way again. My son is only 2 and he goes on the boat with me. Don't blame you at all
People are too used to not getting beat up if they do some stupid stuff
💯💯💯💯💯
Lol …. All it took was getting hit by a boat! Struck me funny 😂
No no no. I'll see you three at the dock ! Guaranteed!
That was insane, didn't even stop. Just kept on going.
Those boys that hit you were very young- under 17 years old it looks like.. Damn, mullets.
Props for staying so calm throughout the whole ordeal.
Yeah great job being dickless , if i ever almost kill someone with any vehicle i hope theyre girls like yous
shit, i would looked like those guys on the beginning of the old original hawaii-5-0 show paddling towards after that sob..pulled the plug on his frign boat and laughed as it went down
Dude you’re so calm… if I was in that situation… no way I’m not cursing 😂😂😂
what the hell those cats had the whole damn ocean to themselves and ended up hitting you unbelievable dude
“Welp... Gotta go find my coconut again” 😂😂😂💀
You were so calm!! Wow man props for that. Makes me want to cary a little air horn when out on the water.
CF 3245 SM. I know this is 2 years late but always call in the incident. Getting them off the water could save another small boaters life.
Your attitude about that incident just earned you another subscriber. All class. I think it's cool you decided not to let it ruin your fishing. Gratz on the new PB
Nice catch.
And it's all on video. Well done. I've been kayaking rivers for years and haven't been on any larger bodies of water where other, larger vessels traverse. With such a low profile, I can understand how far away from you he might have been when your kayak went below his sight from his bow view. If you weren't wearing darker, more camouflaged colors, he might have seen you father away. I'd definitely recommend wearing high visibility colors and maybe consider a brighter kayak too. Glad you didn't get injured.
I'd be waiting at the boat ramp for a one way "conversation"!
