Humbling Experience - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Happens to the best of us. One thing I did notice was that Mr. Patrick seemingly had his paddle leashed to his kayak. As mentioned many times before, that's something I would advise against when launching or landing. When I had a paddle kayak I would have my paddle leashed when i was fishing and throwing the paddle off the side and away would be one of the first things I would do after hooking up. But I've seen far too many people have their paddles wrap around them when launching or landing that I cringe when I see someone doing it.
