Comments on: Range of Motion and Protection From the Fish – Kayak Comparison http://wavewalk.com/blog/2009/08/23/range-of-motion-and-protection-from-the-fish-kayak-comparison/ The World's Best Fishing Kayaks Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:18:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: CJ http://wavewalk.com/blog/2009/08/23/range-of-motion-and-protection-from-the-fish-kayak-comparison/#comment-6363 CJ Thu, 28 Jul 2011 18:53:32 +0000 http://wavewalk.com/blog/?p=346#comment-6363 Sounds scary, and such kayak fishing accidents do happen, unfortunately. That barracuda would have had to jump much higher to get into the cockpit of a w, and if it did manage to get in, it would have not landed in your lap, but at the bottom of a 14 inch deep and 8 inch wide hull, where it could have neither hooked you nor fall overboard - It would have been at you mercy.

I had a 28" barracuda on and upon bringing it to the side of my kayak, it jumped on my lap and almost hooked me treble hook in its mouth. Fortunately I grabbed the jig quickly and avoided the treble hook. Phil At first I thought the idea of protection from the fish was an unimportant concept until last week.

And a whole Lot Safer. Tight lines all Rox Great read Jeff. :)
