Yak Shark - full video added

Postby topgunpete » Mon Jul 23, 2012 12:35 am

I had to do the fish justice and as much as I dislike long youtube video I had to split the video. I believe it adds to the full experience - it was a big day. I hope you enjoy. Good and Bad comments accepted.

cheers TGP.

Great catch Pete. My best is 5', which is a tadpole compared to yours.

Interested in the total length of the battle, the rod and reel combo, and the rig and bait you used. Certainly a battle of major proportions.

Great video Pete, shows how much of a handful a decent sized shark is in a yak. The rod juggling was classic :lol:
