Nice video again ag! Good mix of entertainment and information - keep 'em coming!

PS - tell Cuda my wife looked at the pool video he made, shook her head and left the room. She watched yours all the way through. Just sayin'.

Hahaha! I like to think 95% of my views are female groupies just dying to meet me. Any day now I'm going to run into some gorgeous broad in the streets and she's going to scream "OMG that's YAK'N AGGIE!" and a stampede of women is going to chase me.

Aaaaaaaannnyyyy day now.

Great video! I'm not ready for that much excitement so thank you for sharing! Sharks are no joke, I will take a snake over a shark any day.

Your video was a big hit during my presentation last night. It opened up a huge discussion!!!

I still remember the old days when we used innertubes to swim the bait out. Sometimes the man in the gray suit showed up early.

I saw this video earliuer in the week on TKF, and then again last night with the wife. I WAS going to go BTB at HI for the first time tomorrow. But after seeing this my wife freaked out and pleaded for me to wait longer. I cant say I blame her. The video was very revealing. Thanks man you saved me from myself.

Not to mention that goofy inflatable life raft you bought at the army surplus store that one year!!!

That's awesome to hear Jerry. Glad the presentation went well!

Great video, very informational, as are all
your videos and post.

Continued success.

gulf weather:
A tropical disturbance in the northwest Caribbean should move into the Gulf of Mexico the next few days. The disturbance should move towards the northern Gulf coast and turn more to the northeast as a cold front approaches over the weekend. This system should not affect Texas but we will continue to monitor its progress.

Very educational video and I can say I've made most of those same mistakes...but never the shark over the shoulder hero shot.

I do hope folks would at least make an attempt at getting hooks out of any fish they target. Those hooks regardless of type don't dissolve in salt quickly, fall out, or any of the other stuff you were taught as a kid. I'll never forget the first shark I accidently caught. A silky shark, skin just like a trout, with three large hooks and wire leader all still in different stages of decay with a chunk of grass attached. I went from being excited as it came up directly under kayak to being disgusted by all the hardware attached. Drug it back to shore and got all the hooks out.


Silky shark on shore to get hooks out but they make Dehookers or if you only use J hooks, you can sometimes use paddle blade in curve of hook and jam hook back out out.

Could you maybe do a 10 second video of your underwater leg action in panic mode?

this made me chuckle

lconn4 I couldn't agree more man. Since this trip I have now filed down the barbs on all of my shark hooks for that reason. All part of the learning curve. I edited out the part where I tried to get the hook out for about two minutes, finally realizing I'd probably do more harm to him if I kept him out of the water any longer.

However, I use some pretty cheap Cabela's hooks, and after that short 3 minutes being upside down, every single one of them was covered in rust by that night. I have a feeling that hook is out of that shark's mouth by now.

Now, some of the nicer Mustad's, etc. probably stay in them for a long time.

Their damn skin is so tough. I had to cut the hook to get it out of that baby shark's mouth. Even without the fear of being bitten, it's just impossible to get that barb out of their skin.

The only thing with hooks rusting is that the hook would have to be outside the water to rust..... Need oxygen....

Great video bobby!

ROOKIE
Let's go get salty!
