Pike and fish with bigger teeth!

[msgdan]

After a week in Myrtle Beach chasing sharks from my kayak, I hit the river this morning for 1 hour before work. Crazy action with 6 pike landed and 3 good sized LMB. All the pike were in the 24-28 inch range, but in the shallow water, fought like crazy.

Now to the bigger teeth story. The shark fishing was insane! I only went out 2 mornings and the first trip was great with 6-7 sharks landed in the 5-6 foot range. There were bunker pods just off the beach with sharks crashing them every few seconds. It was very easy, just snag a bunker, put it on a single hook and hold on.

Here is a video of the bunker school that I took from my 23rd floor hotel room before heading out.

Here is another video of one of the sharks from the first morning.

Here are a few pictures from the first morning.






The second morning was not as good with only about 3 smaller sharks landed, but I did have a huge shark on for about 5 minutes that bit through my 75lb. rated wire leader. I think I am glad that one got off because after 5 minutes, I almost got spooled and I wasn't making any headway.

awesome

dan, could you please post a picture or two of the rig that you use to hold your camera out to the side of your kayak for your videos?

Here is a picture of my swing out arm on my older Hobie. I have a bracket that fits in the front hole of the hobie and this is the arm. I also have a different bracket on the kayak I use in the river, but I use the same swing out arm, made from 1/2 inch conduit. The camera screws on the top of the arm, I hit the self timer and swing the arm out.

I was just holding the video camera on a 2 foot pole for the shark videos. I don't bring the arm to Myrtle Beach in fear I would do something stupid, like trying to hold a shark for a picture. LOL
