Kayak VS Boat Tug-Of-War at the EKFT (VIDEO)

Post by Devodud »

While I was fishing a wreck a guy in a center-console fishing boat decided that he wanted the wreck to himself and intentionally ran through a flat line I had out. My reel back-lashed and the drag from the kayak was not enough to break the line, so I I started to get drug by the boat. When the boater realized that my line wasn't cut, but he was dragging me he sped up and flipped me off. As the stern of the kayak began to go underwater from the speed I was forced to cut my line.


Here is the video

Get boat name or numbers?
Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley

That may be the scary thing I have heard about kayak fishing! I could not imagine what was going through your mind. I hope you are ok and all of your stuff is intact.
Hopefully you will run across the boat again one day soon and can get those numbers.

All was well. I fixed the damage to the yak and I was only down one rod for the day.

What a scumbag, I'd guess you're pretty certain he knew he caught your lines and was dragging ya... I'd rememebr that boat and be looking for him, he'll likely be on that wreck again someday.
