A SHARK ATTACKED My Catch, Then I Caught My Dream Fish

[@steveblanmag7410]

That little mako was the cutest little killing machine, tryna gnaw through your baitbox.

[@micahgelfand8282]

hehe i know right

[@DieHardFishing]

Yeah I like when they are that small...

[@Dtag1971]

What I love is the excitement in the persons voice and face. You can really tell the love of fishing this guy has. Great job!

Nice. Adam, your videos are of such high quality and your joy for what you do is always there. Thank you for letting us see.

[@Request4Parole]

Adam.....😂🤣 that was just exciting watching Sharks visit your kayak, eat half of your Bonito and the smaller Shark chewing away at your bait bucket. I dont think I would've stuck around for any bigger Sharks out there. 😁🤣

[@PlugMartian]

Congrats on your dream catch! What an awesome experience to see such a cute baby Mako like that. Practically a newborn. I would have been too fascinated to keep fishing.

[@Ivan-ve5qd]

freakin awesome! congrats on the catch. & those sound effects on how fish swim- epic bro. Shimano should pay you for using & proving their product & that rod- priceless.

[@kylogged]

You can tell the fish by the way it fights *yellows* big up and down headshakes. Almost like a yo-yo *bonito* insanely scrappy. Constant vibration like headshakes. They fight insanely well for their size. You would think they are a lot bigger. *calicos/kelpies* decent headshakes a big charistic is that they run straight for the kelp once hooked. If you get em out of dere you should be good. Stay safe everyone and good luck.

[@raylee9837]

Way to go Adam! This is the most excited I have seen you in your videos, and rightfully so!

[@karlchesser5032]

Nice, I miss fishing for the yellowtail in La Jolla, caught alot of big ones there

[@stevedyer5902]

Wow! What a great trip, both for that bonito and especially for the mega fight of that yellow tail.My arms were getting tired just watching the fight!

[@baitsharkbuckets]

That was awesome. I laughed so hard watching the shark chew on the bait bucket.

[@DieHardFishing]

he was using it as a chew toy lol

[@tim-mech1519]

Awesome Adam! Very happy for you! What a cool trip to SoCal waters-lobster AND yellowtail!

[@fishduckdog]

Great job on landing that big fish! Skills! Taking your time and no rookie mistakes!

Awesome! Way to go DHF! One of the best yet... got a great channel and getting better all the time!

[@shanehoward9756]

That’s an impressive catch on kayak. Awesome! Do you ever worry about stringing your catch snd attracting sharks, sea lions or anything that could take it

[@shotgunaaron]

Now that was a fight! Wow... thanks for posting.

[@Sbsurfangler]

Bro had me on the edge of my seat with that yellowtail! So exciting

[@david-iam]

Dang, my favorite fishing KZbinr’s in my neck of the woods and I didn’t know. Great catches man.

[@pittschapelfarm2844]

Unbelievable fight! Must of been even harder on a kayak. Awesome.

[@jamesjoung2793]

That smile says it all. Congrats on your first yellow, but you didn’t the eat beating heart!

[@bossdillman7011]

I remember my only Albacore. 60 pounds, fought it for 90 minutes by myself until shark bit off his tail. Reeled it in and lost the biggest fish of trip by 2 lbs. So much fun. never forget. Great fish you got Adam. Love your videos and I still think your crazy for being in a kayak out there.

[@FOE_RUNNER]

Thanks for the video! #KeepEmComing!

[@foxkill2500]

Nice yellow Adam super fun catching those you should try the northern Malibu area we get a lot of calico sea bass and yellows

[@salcalderon2125]

Nice fish Adam! To bad yellow tail don't come up to our area. Awesome catch bro! 🤙🏼🎣

[@fishsalmon8747]

Wow, glad you moved, that's a big fish...love to hear that drag.. Fish on...🤙🏽😃

[@timeless_realm]

If you have a two fish-limit, your limit would now be 1.5 fish? :)

[@DieHardFishing]

hahahaha yeah good point!!!!

[@kirkwesterveltoutdoors]

Where do you launch from? I would like to bring my Kayak down there.

Always happy to see you catching fish man 👍

[@landonlaskey605]

30lb isn’t light for yellowtail. A lot of times we’ll go as low as 15

[@Gmark25]

We? Don't group all of us in that category.

[@landonlaskey605]

@@Gmark25 we is referring to people who fish for yellowtail. Idk what ur trying to say

[@Gmark25]

@@landonlaskey605 That is what I'm saying. I don't even go 15 for Calico's. Not worth the effort with kelp/structure.

[@landonlaskey605]

Ok...? So what’s ur point

I’ve caught yellows on 15 and calicos

[@fishbelly4246]

Really like your videos man , keep up the good work - Bay Area fisherman

[@andrewcapone3345]

Wow...good job bro! Lucky that was a baby mako or the whole bonito and your bait bucket would be gone! Nice yellowtail...but being on a yak off California with a fish hanging over and all that blood could spell disaster if there is a big tax man lurking around...you are brave!

[@robertbrock4204]

What kind of fish finder do you have? I'm trying to purchase one that's fairly decent. Thanks

[@fig816]

Yellowtail are the strongest fish in so cal and baja, pound for pound!!! I caught a 42 lber in Loreto and after the captain gaffed that fish. I was done fishing for the day.

[@shaunkukla1846]

How far out did you go out? Im usually on the edge of the kelp bed closer to shore. Not sure how far to go out honestly. I too flyline the macs and also Carolina rig them. I'm going to start marking my lines to gauge depth.

[@randysutton5395]

Good Catch Bro. Congrats. Great Video

[@BinhNguyen-dt5gp]

Hi Adam, What is the brand name of that floating livewell (bait box)? Thanks.

[@500dollarjapanesetoaster8]

I initially thought that was a white sea bass. Nice work!

[@FishingwithUncleDandan]

This is so awesome! I’ve been fishing fishing LJ from a yak for the past 3 years and still have yet to catch a yellow. So stoked for you! 🎉👊🏽🤙🏽

in montana when a fish hooks up on rocks etc we get tight lines then pound the butt of rod with hand drives the fish nuts always win

well done brotha! first king is something special, you need to come to New Zealand bro, we get massive kings' on the regular, 30-55 pound is average, wait for the rona to be over of course.

Houston.. Yellow tail has landed..! 🤣👊🏻

[@zeldanrj3]

I had to come back and watch from beginning to end. I had a LIVE today, for my birthday... I had almost 200 people in there! 🤯🤯🤯🤯 I'm so glad to see that was a small shark 🦈 Crazy that you can still save the fish. It doesn't release some kinda poison or anything?? Welcome to SoCal.. where we stay at 98° all winter! Bahahahaa

[@stephenhogue5567]

I remember when it snowed at the beach in Malibu!

[@drewandcharlie7583]

I was so confused about the yellow tail thing. So on the east coast they have yellow tail snapper and they are like the best eating snapper on earth. And bonita, they use as bait fish on the east coast but their sushi is just like tuna, Its great. I love this channel. I didnt even know there were spiny lobsters in the pacific ocean.

[@stinkyfungus]

California yellowtail is a member of the Jack family. For fish you might be more familiar with in your waters to compare them to, They are most closely related to the Almaco jack and Amberjack.

[@NickFish007]

Hahaha that shark was awesome! And what a battle!!

[@chrisblevinsfishing]

Congrats on the first YT Adam! Good rule on a flyline is to let the yt take the bait for 7-10 seconds in freespool, then just put it in gear.

[@mattbrown7483]

great yellowtail. that shark was pretty cool. I've never had it myself, but Mako is suppose to be good eating. they target them here on the east coast.

[@michaelhanlon732]

That's awsome. Personally I would of gave the Bonito to the shark. It's not going to waste. Suppose it's cool you shared dinner with a little mako also.

[@mpillejera]

Sweet! Now come back for the big homeguards!

[@loadoutvb]

what kind of fishing rods are you using??

[@acgonefishing]

little mako so cute. Nice catches

[@johnleach7879]

You're lucky that it was a little mako. If his daddy had come along and gotten a whiff of fish guts near your kayak, you'd be in trouble. Is your radio waterproof? Carry an epirb?

[@pekanpi434]

Yellowtail and steelhead are the hardest fighting fish in California. Pound per pound, nothing comes close. Great job on that Yellowtail 👏 👍

[@fuckinscopesalot]

No chum salmon in California?

[@SDFishGuessWhoMeAgain]

Caught my first yellow tail 3 months ago la jolla, 17 pounds on a hook-up-bait 1 ounce chovie sport size, just dangling on the bottom while messing with another rod. Medium, 6'6" spinning reel, 30# braid 20# mono leader. Fought for 20 minutes. Fun time, and yes, blood all over the ace.

[@lloydcc]

I was gonna say, you need to reel those in quickly because of sharks. Thankfully he was small and not a bigger one. Beautiful colors on the shark though

[@organicviennasausage456]

Wooohooo! Nice one bro!

[@TravisDoesKayakFishing]

nice kayak. 🐟
