Yeah Steveooo, I was slightly sketched a couple times because it was within 6 inches of yak numerous times. Overall was a cool experience but 45 minutes of it following me was a bit too much . If it was a GW I would have been way more sketched
Sorry your tuna got munched and hope you landed more

Do you have a yellow kayak?
Myth Busters proved as plausible that sharks are most attracted to the color yellow. I have a yellow kayak and thought it was because my wife keeps painting a seal silhouette on the bottom. |

La Jolla first

Caribbean blue Revo. My friend next to me was on my Mango x13. The shark was only interested in me due to a YT on my lap and the blood that was draining through hole for mirage drive train . I did myth busting : bananas on boat/kayak and fishing this past Sunday . That day I had two bananAs I caught two YT. So always fishing with two bananas on kayak

Some years ago we were fishing off La Jolla, maybe about ten miles out on an 18' Boston Whaler when a hammerhead came up and swam alongside the boat. It was considerably longer than the boat, we had never seen a shark that big. We had a lot of dead fish onboard, that's probably what attracted it.
Big boats on land are small on the ocean.

8-10' hammerhead inches away is definitely too close for comfort! At that size range a GW might have been a safer encounter.

Nice job keeping your cool. I don't know if I could have done the same.

Actually Tom I saw it at times a few feet from your yak following a brown chum line!
