9 Crazy Kayak Fishing Videos

We may be a bit partial to saying that kayak fishing is one of the best ways of enjoying the wonderful outdoors. It’s not just because you get to experience nature but you also get to practise your favourite hobby and some exercise at the same time.

It’s also versatile as you can be paddling one day to some wrecks off your local coast and the next day you can be up river exploring new and remote spots.

Over the last ten years, kayak fishing has been experiencing a massive increase in popularity. This also comes with an advancement in technology which means action cams are widely available to capture some pretty crazy moments.

Whether your just dipping your toes into this world or you’re a seasoned veteran, it’s always good fun to browse the many videos available online.

In this article, we’ll be discussing the craziest online kayak fishing videos. These videos were chosen based on the fact that they exhibit a considerable number of things that you might never have found elsewhere. Sit back and let’s get started. Shall we?

1. Kayak Fisherman fights off aggressive hammerhead shark

This video shows a kayak fisherman out in search for halibut. After several hours of rigorous search, he couldn’t find any. He saw a school of bonito and on his way to them is when he felt a bump. He was then forced to turn back towards his left-hand side, and he saw a hammerhead who looked like he meant business. The shark hits his kayak repeatedly trying to suss it out. The guy paddling defends himself using his paddle and eventually the shark gives up. It’s a scary dose of reality and something we all never hope to experience.

2. It’s a GARsome

I was coming in from an offshore trip and I noticed a weird shaped object floating in the distance.  All I could see were the multiple fins running down its back so I though it was some sort of palm frond, but it just didn't look right.  I ended up stopping and noticed that it started swimming.  It was pretty crazy seeing this guy so far out.
