Whats your opinion on the spitfire 8?

Dashing through the foam
In a one-shark open sleigh
O'er the waves we go
Splashing all the way

Drag pulls my line tight
Makes my spirits bright
Oh what fun it is to ride and sing a fishy tale tonight!

Oh reeling down, reeling down
Reeling all the way
oh what fun it is to ride in a one shark open sleigh, Hey!
Oh reeling down, reeling down
Reeling all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one shark open sleigh

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
To the beach with trucks we go
Trolling with my line

bait fish signal fun
my reel begins to hum
I swing it round to set the hook and now we've got a run

Oh reeling down, reeling down
Reeling all the way
oh what fun it is to ride in a one shark open sleigh, Hey!
Oh reeling down, reeling down
Reeling all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one shark open sleigh

A mile or two has past
My kayak slowing down
I know this shark won't last
I almost see him now

I pull him to the top
My go-pro gets the shot
We'll cut the line and let him go before he starts to flop

Oh reeling down, reeling down
Reeling all the way
oh what fun it is to ride in a one shark open sleigh, Hey!
Oh reeling down, reeling down
Reeling all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one shark open sleigh

i'd have freaked out if a Tiger was on the line. Good job staying so calm

Alex410 - 9 years ago

Stupid question did you have a trolling motor on your yak?

BlacktipH - 9 years ago

No, I didn't have a trolling motor.

Letting a shark drag you out to sea on a kayak! Isn't that very dangerous?

Pamela Jackson - 10 years ago

+BlacktipH Awesome you only live once!

BlacktipH - 10 years ago

Yes it is, but I love the thrill.

Christian R - 10 years ago

This is still a bigger Tiger Shark than I EVER want to catch while I'm fishing from a kayak. I am an avid offshore fisherman and own a 31' Bertram, and even then, not sure I'd want to hook into a Tiger. I've caught a lot of sharks over the years, but have heard horror stories from people, especially from first mates and "wire men", about what sort of damage even a small Tiger can and will do to your gear and boat. This guy was WAY calm about catching a Tiger on his kayak, and for that, I have to give him mad props.

Think I need a bigger boat!!

bitch, there's a shark in the water ,i'm out

Mos REdrum - 10 years ago

I have a 16 footer. I have never caught a shark in it though, T-boned one but not caught. It's fun with any size fish on a kayak.

BlacktipH - 10 years ago

Balls of steel fishing in that little kayak! Nice catch though.

HOW DID YOU NOT FALL OFF !

You have to find your balance.

Joshua Rowe - 10 years ago

.cool.

Sean Kearney - 10 years ago

How much braid backing do you use when using mono topshot on spinning reels?

BlacktipH - 10 years ago

It depends on the size of the reel. On the Saltist 6500 I was using in this video I had 300yds of 50lb Diamond braid.

Tidal Gaming - 10 years ago

U got balls

Productions Rossi - 10 years ago

Nice catch there brother!

Ben Johnson - 11 years ago

I would try to get the hook out. I would feel bad if the poor thing swallowed it.

MikePlaysJazz - 11 years ago

you got balls to be catching sharks out in the deep water on a kayak!!!! good catch by the way:)

Thomas Butcher - 11 years ago

that's awesome. You call that small!

dnahoghunter - 11 years ago

nice catch

JayDaaaawg - 11 years ago

He wouldn't have taken the hook out. cut the line, most likely

Tyler Malo - 11 years ago

Kayak fishing all the way!

Alex Ayala - 11 years ago

i wonder how long it took you to take the hook out

BlacktipH - 11 years ago

That's a lot of ships, I would try to avoid fishing in that area. I would recommend looking for a place with a lot less boat traffic.

Carlos galeano - 11 years ago

im shipping the kayak to singapore , the shore around this small country is quite "ugly" but im doing this for the great work out option. the reason the shore is so ugly is cuz singapore is a big time shipping pot 100s of huge ships come in and out at one point we can have like 300 shipps waiting in our waters to dock , so all the constant movement makes the water look brown " muddy "

BlacktipH - 11 years ago

That's a good choice. Where are you shipping to?

Carlos galeano - 11 years ago

i was considering a 10ft one but its $860 for a tamarack kayak ( to ship to my country ) and $760 for the 9ft spitfire and $660 for the 8ft spitfire , considering that my budget is capped at $840 i have to decide whether the extra 1 foot from 9ft will be worth it or if 8ft to 9ft is even much of a diff also

BlacktipH - 11 years ago

Very true.

BlacktipH - 11 years ago

Unfortunately in this situation the hook was left in the sharks mouth. The leader broke as I was preparing to remove the hook. It was only 60lb fluorocarbon.

BlacktipH - 11 years ago

Yup.

Solly438 - 11 years ago

So you actually got the tiger shark on the kayak?

BlacktipH - 11 years ago

It's not really a good kayak, I would recommend purchasing a Malibu Mini-X-Standard. "Sit on top" or open kayaks are the easiest to climb back into if you flip.

BlacktipH - 11 years ago

They can kill you.

Carlos galeano - 11 years ago

Hey i am getting the Spitfire 9 , i see that you have the spitfire 8 is it good in choppy waters ? i am choose open air kayaks because im afraid that if i fall of and its gets water inside that i wont be screwed when out in the ocean

mdstmouse7 - 11 years ago

because a tiger shark couldnt kill you?

BlacktipH - 11 years ago

Use lures.

BlacktipH - 11 years ago

It's different with every fish and with the depth of water that you are in. You could get towed over a mile if the fish is big enough.

Rebecca Asholova - 11 years ago

isn't there anyway to fish without baiting sharks though? it's dangerous for you number 1 but number 2 small sharks grow and that area can become infected. Also just cuz it doesn't do major damage doesn't mean it doesnt hurt the shark

tankmaster1018 - 11 years ago

How far do you get pulled around when reeling in a big fish like this?

BlacktipH - 11 years ago

The shark broke the fluorocarbon leader beside the boat. It was a small hook and won't affect his feeding abilities.

BlacktipH - 11 years ago

I want to catch a great white from a kayak as well. I just haven't had the opportunity yet. It's not a death wish, it's faith. I believe that I am able to catch it.

Sherif Asfour - 11 years ago

To be honest I don't think you have "big balls" I think you have a deathwish. Like catching sharks is cool and all but holy crap what if you die?? Maybe not by a Tiger Shark but lets say a great white, you'd be done for, goodluck in the future bro.

Rebecca Asholova - 11 years ago

what did you end up doing to free the shark? you just left the hook in the sharks mouth?

Dr Dank - 11 years ago

Fuck that noise! Id be shittin my pants worry about getting flipped

BlacktipH - 11 years ago

Bring it on! I hope that day comes where I can wrestle a big great white from a kayak.

LuisM. Hdez - 11 years ago

I'd like to see that again, but with a 18 foot Great White on the line !! You'll need stronger line....OH and bigger balls !! lol

That's awesome dude!!!!!!!

BlacktipH - 11 years ago

You stick the rod in the water and let the shark turn the kayak.

mackooosuti123 - 11 years ago

What happens when it goes underneath you and you flipp over?

BlacktipH - 11 years ago

Nope

Roman Boswell - 11 years ago

I would be so fucking terrified

BlacktipH - 11 years ago

You remove the hook beside the kayak. It is illegal in the state of Florida to remove a tiger shark from the water when on a watercraft.

Nihilist - 11 years ago

I just dont get it, how can you land it?:/

Opens11 - 11 years ago

Why don't you get the hook off of him :/

BlacktipH - 11 years ago

Yes, if you're not careful.

MrKnifeFanatic - 11 years ago

Got a 14 ft. kayak, and used to roll in a 10 ft. I couldn't imagine fighting anything bigger than 4 or 5 ft without a bigger kayak than 8ft, you are crazy.

Eddie Hollingsworth - 11 years ago

Can the shark tip the boat?

Alec White - 11 years ago

Is it just me or does he sound like Dale from step brothers? (John C. Reilly)

It should, the kayak I was using was 8ft.

Sweet video bro! Good call on cutting the line.... We kayak a lot here on the Central Coast of California... however with a 8ft kayak.. a 'fish' that big would be a definite chore to get back to shore! Keep those lines tight brada!

I watch your vids everytime Im about to hit the water. If you ever come around the WPB/Juno/jupiter area, shoot me a PM. God Bless "And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking. "- Luke 5:4-6

I guess baby tigers are common this time of year. Caught one off the Boynton Inlet northside jetty bout' three weeks ago. Love the spots and stripes, beautiful fish to catch!

Nick Waxmunski - 12 years ago

@BlacktipH hey i have a question i have a power stick g roddy reel and like good line and im gonna use a decent steel liter with some old fish would that work!!??

StormChaser16 - 12 years ago

have you contacted discovery?

gafishing1 - 12 years ago

like 50-80 at the most

gafishing1 - 12 years ago

could a PENN Fierce 5000 paired with a 8ft ugly stik with 30 pound braid on it handle the tiger

RC_Ridgecrest - 12 years ago

An average of 10 lb and some 20 lb none over 50 lb

RC_Ridgecrest - 12 years ago

@blacktiph I am catching about an average of 10 lb but there are 30 lb, no catfish over 50 lb in this lake.

TheVancouverMan - 12 years ago

Lulz, I wouldn't really call it relaxing..... ^^

RC_Ridgecrest - 12 years ago

Just like other people, I need a good fisherman rod recommendation. I need a good catfish pole. You probably don't catfish but you might still have a good rod recommendation, we catch good sized ones. The rod I want is a Ugly stick tiger lite 7' heavy action. It is about $60. But I need a reel, I have been thinking about Abu Garcia Ambassadeur C3 or C4. I think you could let me know on some things about those reels and suggest other ones. Thanks!

KAYAK FRANK - 12 years ago

Most trolling motors do not have a kill switch, but you can install one easy enough. Be careful and stay safe always!

KAYAK FRANK - 12 years ago

When you surf launch, it is imperative that you "DON'T" turn on your trolling motor. It is much safer to launch man powered, for easier control, than it is to use a trolling motor. Any time in the surf you want total paddling power, for ease of direction. I have "Flipped" my kayak by not adhering to these guidelines. I learned that the hard way. When you are away from the surf breakers, bring the engine down and cruise away. Always have your paddle near by in case off sudden need. Tight Lines!

tony elia - 12 years ago

i have a question does the trolling motor effect the surf launch

RC_Ridgecrest - 12 years ago

Ok, that's good your fishing videos are great, are you on a team or a pro or you just fish for fun?

RC_Ridgecrest - 12 years ago

Nice! When are you going too make another video?

Melinda Meyer - 12 years ago

8ft kayak! Alone with a tiger? You the man!

Greg Kipping - 12 years ago

awsome josh i cant get enough of your videos

KAYAK FRANK - 12 years ago

That was an awesome video guys! I kayak fish Beyond the Breakers also in Broward County. I have yet to land a shark like that. I just installed a trolling motor on my kayak and it helps me a lot offshore with the currents. Tight Lines and Peace Out!

Circular Glass - 12 years ago

I live in NY, I own a cottage up in Wolcott, the bay is connected to Ontario, would you reccomend any good lures or reels for around 10 pound bass?

riner9 - 12 years ago

Look up a video on how to cast.

Sam Simon - 12 years ago

About 100. I was reading about the penn fierce looks like a great reel but kinda confused on the models

Sam Simon - 12 years ago

I'm going to bass pro later. What would you reccomend for a good quality reel for a good price. Thanks!

Sam Simon - 12 years ago

Hey man, great shark! My goal is to catch something near that! I have a somewhat decent zebco surf rod and reel and I have a sailboat I take out around Tampa Bay into the Gulf. I'm looking to catch anything big as a sailboat doesn't go very far just a few miles off the coast and back in... Any help would be appreciated as im new at fishing and looking to get some good catches under my belt!

Jbird - 12 years ago

this may sound like an amateur question but would there have been any way safely to get the hook out of that things mouth? You said in the vid that you were gonna snip the line or something. Howd it go?

Timothy Cox - 12 years ago

Would 50 lb mono for top shot be ok?

ALL JAKED UP - 12 years ago

What should I spool a avet 30w with for shark and offshore

Timothy Cox - 12 years ago

Do you mean putting the braid on first, and then following up with the mono? If so what lb test should I go with. Also, how does this help? I thought braid was way better than mono.

Timothy Cox - 12 years ago

I just ordered a penn 9/0 and I'm planning on rigging it with 1000 yds of 100 lb braind. I'll also have 14ft of ltr and a 18/0 circle hook. How big a shark do you think I could handle with that set up?

Timothy Cox - 12 years ago

I just ordered a penn 9/0 a couple of days ago. I'm going to fit it with 1000 yards of 100 lb braid, and good strong liter. Haven't picked a rod yet, but whatever I get it will have a strong back bone. How big of a shark do you think I could haul in with that setup?

Carlo Rivera - 12 years ago

wow that was wild man...you have balls on that 8ft kayak.....kayak fishing is kool as hell....no limited to just one spot.....check out one of the kayak clubs....there is one call "kayak fishing club of the palm beachs".......
