"When Things Go Wrong"

Post by Tim399 »

While watching kayak fishing clips on youtube i came across this one i thaught would be good for not only people new to the sport but everyone. Caught on gopros it shows how quickly things went bad for this guy when he didnt use safety measures.

Enjoy

4 minute advert at the start. Gave up. Hopefully its good :up:

I fish alot on my own so running all my hooks as barbless is the norm in case I hook myself. Happens often enough LOL
Live long, fish hard and hopefully catch something.
