One of the unique thrills of kayak fishing is the "sleigh ride" that happens when you hook a fish that is strong enough to pull you and your boat through the water. It adds another dimension to the fight, since the fish is not only battling your strength, as transmitted through the rod and line, but also the resistance and inertia of the kayak moving through the water. It's also usually fun, and sometimes scary and dangerous.In this YouTube video, kayak angler Kyle Dechert hooks a Bull Shark in the mangrove-lined coastal waters of the Everglades, and is taken for a ride. What's the best / longest / scariest sleigh ride you have experienced? Share your story, a picture, or video via email (kayaksportsman@gmail.com), contact me via Twitter, or leave a comment below. I'll be sure to share the best ones.
Good Paddling!
