Discoveries don’t always have to be of new species. Sometimes they’re personal discoveries, like discovering that fishing in a kayak around New Zealand is only for those with a deathwish. One kayaker in Kawakawa Bay found that out after he hooked a 4-meter long bronze shark while trolling for fish. Which he caught, since sharks are fish, but he probably should have cut the line and let this one get away.
“It dragged me around for about half a kilometer before I think it realized it was attached to a fisherman and it started leaping out of the water,” the fisherman, named James, told Newshub. He estimated the shark to be around 300 kg, or 660 lbs. “I thought, what the f— am I going to do with this? I’m in a freakin’ kayak.”
Luckily the shark bit through the line and swam away, otherwise things could have gotten very Jaws-esque for James.
