So I was taking a whizz......
 

Last Thursday was a pretty quiet day in La Jolla. I trolled, threw and dropped iron, soaked a Mack, ate, drank,and even took a nice nap. It was one of those days that the fish were just not biting. After 6 hours otw and one bottle of water plus 2 orange sodas it was time for some relief. My routine is to first unzip and remove my PFD and place it behind me. Then I kneel on my bait tank with my feet on the seat. From there I can easily undo my suspenders and lower my waders as needed.
So there I was in all my glory when my reel starts to scream. It was a confusing 10 seconds but I finally got back into my seat and into the fight.
In the end I reeled in a 6+foot Soupfin shark.
On a serious note...Looking back I realize that I should have taken the extra seconds to get my suspenders back up and my PFD back on because no matter what the fish is safety should always come first. I wont make that mistake again.
Be safe!

nice pics!

what bait
 

what bait and terminal tackle did the shark hit on? good report!

Very nice. Cool pics

sharks and piss
 

I think I remember hearing something about sharks being attracted to urine.


What do think mlpa would say if everyone started chumming up sharks by pissing off their kayaks? haha.

Is that why your crotch is blurry in this screen grab?.

J/K, cool pics.

Awesome Mike. I remember your last shark...

That's awesome. Were you shark fishing?

Do we get to see the video?

Literaly caught with your pants down...

awesome catch!

Too funny. Had a similar event happen to my buddy when we were elk hunting in Colorado. He dropped his pants, sat on a log and proceeded to take a dump. 4 Elk run right past, scared the s@#$ right out, and he's standing there shooting at the fleeing elk with his pants around his ankles.

i got a big 7gill on the yak too. f*cker just kept rolling and rolling and rolling.

I hate getting caught with my pants down. But I hate it even more when I get the irresistible urge in the heat of battle. :eek:
