Some brave stupid fishermen have set a world record by fishing for sharks with nothing more than rods and kayaks. The fishermen paddled through freezing shark-filled waters in Alaska to set the record.
The four individuals part of the American Ocean Kayak Fishing Team fished for salmon sharks that average nine feet in length. It is reported there were 200 to 300 sharks swimming around the fishermen.
A total of four sharks were caught during the hunt. The four sharks caught ranged from 350 to 375 pounds and averaged around 7 feet.
Captain Christopher Mautino said: “I could see the sharks, which looked to be the same size as the kayaks.”.
Personally I am totally against shark fishing. I think it is a brutal waste. Perhaps this story would have been better if the sharks could have bagged at least one or two of the fishermen.
