Kayak Shark Attack

  It'?s one thing to have your catch stolen while fishing from big boat like the one above, it?s quite another experience altogether when it happens while you?re fishing from a kayak!

You don?t often associate fly fishing with sharks, but Mark Melnyk did just that on a trip to Southern California.
