Too close for comfort

so when does the ANGER kick in..... Joe
?

Glad you're OK Joe.

Hopefully fish gods shine upon you for your trouble.

Glad your O K Joe.
I had one of those million candle power spot lights for such times as well as moving around at night but the darn thing took a swim and alas doesn't work anymore.

You're going to have to write your close call down in your book of life and go back to fishing.
Thanks for sharing and catch a big one

no anger.... 20 years ago... I would have made chase and hunted them down like a wounded buck.... I'm older and wiser now...not quite as fit as I once was... but should we ever cross paths agian... I'll sink a gaff into his nut sack and start twisting until he says he's sorry!

JESUS CHRISTMAS!!!!!! I'm wincing just reading that.

YAKS .......IMO are the most deadly way to fish for bass /

Including yo/yo / wire / & depth chargers /

But they are 1 of 2 reasons why I very seldom fish at night any longer .......... I really enjoyed night fishing . the surrounding . the stars , sky , etc

BUT in My honest opinion too many Yakers have a death wish or they really think they are invincible .

low lights , dark hull , small chop or rollers .......... it doesn,t matter that your close to shore 5-7' deep , I,m bouncing off rocks INSIDE of you ;;

Its difficult enough to see u in the day / as you cross in the middle of the bay / between the sun / glare & waves its a fuc kin wonder there arn,t more death trips .

I,m Guilty of no lights when fishing & {some] times when running . just for better night vision

slinging eels is now pretty much a memory / all good things come to a end .......I just hope yours isnlt a crashing,,final end ><><><><>

I agree, which is why on these types of sites I try to emphasize thinking about safety when kayak fishing, but that sometimes isn't taken all that seriously unfortunately.
