Fishermen risk death by using kayaks in quest to catch sharks

Filed under: News, Pictures — admin @ 4:16 pm

Brave fishermen set a new world first when they went hunting for sharks using simple rods and paddling in kayaks.

The extreme sportsmen shunned the traditional idea of a peaceful day’s fishing when they rowed into the freezing shark-infested waters off Alaska.

The daring team of four were surrounded by 200 to 300 salmon sharks which were up to nine feet long and weighed between 400 and 1,000 lbs.

They baited their Avet 50 reels with large pieces of salmon, and managed to catch four of the sharks during their intrepid expedition near Hinchinbrook Island.
