Just curious...anyone here every go sharking on a Kayak? It seems like it would be easy enough to paddle out a mile or two and tie off a smaller bucket of chum. Anyone here ever land one like this?

lol sounds like fun....til they hop between your legs and bite.....lmao....Im sure there are some guys who would....but i wouldnt want to try it. Your at the water level big enough shark could flip you or even a thresher tail swipe who knows. Good luck either way haha
When you say sharking, I am going to assume Threshers.............

Hey Pennsy guy.....that's me holding that monster shark from Myrtle Beach!!!! LOL LOL You found that picture quicker than I could!
I vacation in Myrtle Beach SC every year with the family and take my kayak with me. Catching sharks is easier than catching the live bait for the sharks. I have had many days with 10-15 sharks up to 6 feet long for the few hours that I go out..if the conditions permit. I catch the bait a few hundred yards off the beach, head out about 1/2 mile, drop the live bait down and hold on!
If I can see the hook exposed enough, I will try to remove it with an 18" hook remover. If I can't see the whole hook, I just take a few pictures and cut the wire.
As far as the second picture with the salmon sharks....those are 3 of the guys I travel with to Alaska and Mexico and different areas with. All of the guys are hard core and are always looking for a new challange.
This year for us, it looks like PV Mexico for BIG TUNA, staying in a 50 foot boat for a week, 100 miles off the coast and waking up each morning ready to launch the kayaks about 10 minutes after breakfast.
