- Beautiful day out on the Pacific Ocean on the coast of California. While catching some of the biggest Lingcod, I was stalked by a Great White Shark. What happened next left me fear.

Shark: Welcome to sharklife, I'm sharku. On today's episode we try to catch the illusive boat seal.
🤣 catch and cook
Sharku LOL
@@OutdoorChefLife Some of my finest work, if I don't say so myself. You're welcome
Offshore shark life catch and eat 🤣😂🤣😂
Meanwhile! In other universe
Taku, this was by far your best video ever! Hands down......nothing close. It had so many emotional ups and downs. Truly the bigger the bait the bigger the fish philosophy was soooo true, hilarious that most if not all those monsters were not even hooked! They just refused to let go!!!🤣 Thank you so much for the ride.....ARIGATO😁
He's had a lot of great ones...but somehow his kayak fishing trips have produced some of the best...I remember the one where whales were exhaling rainbows around him on an ethereal misty morning, just so evocative
Taku just watched this ling cod vid. Wow bro what an esperience to watch this. My heart was pounding hard for you bro. First of all boarding four monster lings and then a frigging great white checking you out for its lunch. Breaching while coming towards you
Im glad you decided to head back in to safety. Wow wow wow!!!
I would be terrified being in a kayak with a Great White circling me. Glad your ok.
Youre more likely to get struck by lightning than get scammed by a bottle nose dolphin, or something like that.
I was out there with you guys in my 18’ whaler. After you guys left, the GW followed me and circled my boat. Im guessing it was attracted by the blood from the ling cods I bled. I snagged the GW and got spooled. My daughter was screaming with joy as it was a chance of a life time to see one ten feet away. I puckered up in my boat. I can not imagine being on a kayak. Be safe!
no you didnt
If they did not go out on Dec 21, then I was mistaken.
You're fortunate to have a friend like Adam. What a solid guy.
He's so hot too...🥰
Bro nothing gets the heart pumping like rolling around in a small craft knowing a shark can end you at anytime I love it.
Absolutely intimidating
Facts! Give ya the ole pucker! Haha
And then, THEN, allowing a big fish to splash and make a ruckus in your net at the surface making all kinds of noise to attract a 15 foot beast that is attracted to - you guessed it - splashing and things making a ruckus.
That being said, great video and beautiful fish that taste even better.
The two that got away 🤷♀️ holyshit, and the great white shark + you landed that huge ling! What a ride, ty for bringing us along 🙏 👊 and another one!
Roller coaster of emotions!
I'm 21 mins in and so far poor Taku has
Lost not 1 but 2 monster fish
Been stalked by a shark
Broken his water bottle and his measuring board
BUT HE LANDED A HUGE PB LINGCOD MAKING IT ALL WORTH IT
Love the longer videos Taku. Keep up the great work :)
Congrats on taking me down in the first ever “beat die hard” challenge. Looking forward to the cook portion in part 2!
Love the authentic vibe of your videos including the screaming neighborhood kids and barking dogs when you were breaking down the ling cod!
Am I the only one screaming at the screen “there is a NET right behind you, bro!!!” Lol.
Your not trust me lmao
My man Bruce said “fish are friends not food” 😂 love the vids Taku glad you’re safe!
Shark bait hoo ha
Always such a pleasure seeing you gut and filleting a fish; a sharp knife, neat and skillful and so tidy - thank you Taku 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Wow. That is an enormous fish. I'm glad you and Adam are safe!
DUDE! You have just proved patience is key and percieverance!!
Once in a lifetime experience eh!? Hopefully:) Amazing job managing the fish, the shark, and the camera! Thanks for a great adventure.
Here I thought this was a G rated show. To hear Taku cursing like a pirate. LOL
Props to that first Lingcod for using all it had to break loose - gnawed on that bait right into the boat and said..."so long sucker - I'm OUT ;O"
Great video as usual!
Great video! Try to remember to NEVER stand up in your kayak (not even for a few seconds) when a shark is around. They are fast as hell and can quickly bump your kayak and toss you out. We had a couple kayaks attacked and destroyed in Northern California Coastline this year. Also, the king cod thrashing in the water draws sharks in too. Smartest move was NOT bleeding out the fish. Congratulations on your catch! 👍😎🎣💦
Very good content, whole fish is eaten, no wastage. Also great explanation on bleeding the fish, it’s the right thing to do
Hey taku, Would you ever consider going into a cooking competition like masterchef or something like that or TH-cam is the life for you?
I just watched the greatest Outdoor Chef Life video ever! Taku was in Japan and was asked to show native Japanese sushi chefs how to make "American" sushi. Those guys jaws about fell through the floor when Taku pulled out the cream cheese. But in the end, the restaurant put his creations on their menu.
? what video is it?
@@ziggybender9125 It is on his other channel, here ya go, th-cam.com/video/tMCvGcafWps/w-d-xo.html
@@ziggybender9125 it's an old video around 2-3 years, back when the channel had around 100k subs
That was a classic
As a fisherman, I felt the pain when you lost that first Lingcod
@@roninrisin looks like he wanted to redeem himself but failed haha
As a mediocre fisherman, I felt your pain when you lost the second lingcod. But that's why your channel is so good, you show the highs and the lows.
I've never had a fish come off the gaff. Two in a row was painful
Also painful for the fish to come off a gaff, hopefully it didn’t suffer long!
ALWAYS net a hitchhiker!
this is your most funniest video yet Taku. :) i couldn't stop laughing watching you lose the fishes.
Duuuuuuuuuude, this is one action-packed episode!!! I was vicariously watching all my "catch and releases" and omg that great white shark 🦈 😭 congratulations on your PB! Let's go for bigger this/next year!
That thing was huge!! I Wonder if you can zoom in on the reflection from your shades and see the breach!
When I was a kid we were ling fishing off the east end of San Juan island in Washington in a 16' StarCraft when a pod of killer whales approached, dorsal fins out of the water, coming straight for us. They swam around and under our boat and carried on their way. Talk about intimidating. They were way bigger than the boat. Nice lings btw. Great vid
Your videos kick ass . Raw and true . Thank you brother . You guys remained super chill in the presence of the great white
What a journey!!! One for the books for sure
That gopro footage you got of the shark was so close and clear it was like it was out of a nature documentary! You're brave asf for putting the camera in the water like that lol I would have been too busy wetting myself 🤣🤣
What a day! Catching your p.b. pitbull fish and then coming face to face with the Great Man in a gray suit. What a day! Nice video to end the year with. I'm looking forward to next year's episodes.
i swear this is the best channel on YT going to miss this guy whens hes wokring on big time cable
I really love it when this guy cuts into a fish, very solid, smooth, and realistic 🙏🙏
Wow congrats on your new PB. And real life jaws in the making, count your blessings. glad your safe so we can continue to watch these great videos.
Saw Adam's video first and dang that's one big shark! Glad you made it out of the water ok. Thank you for sharing
Damn Taku...the second drop had me screaming dude! I was for sure diving in after that fish.
I was fishing with NickFish and he had told me about this incident… I was patiently waiting for you to post this video. Amazing footage… it’s unfortunate that you weren’t recording when jaws decided to breach. None the less it was an amazing video Taku. Glad you guys were able to remain safe.
Taku were you guys at Bean hollow? It's known to be VERY sharky!! A friend of mine got hit there several years ago. Blasted him from below and blew him off his yak, then grabbed the kayak and started chewing on the bow. Spun him around several times then came back and hit the kayak again all the while he was hanging on for dear life. Then it slashed at his paddle and ripped it off the cord. When he got in the yak it circled then disappeared for good. He had an 18" bite mark in his hull. Another friend saw it happen and he said it looked like a bass blowing up a topwater bait! A couple other friends have had drive bye there. There have been several attacks there. Great fishing, but... I don't fish there. Can't get rid of the jaws tune in my head when I'm out there. Glad you guys weren't attacked. I think when they cruise around you like that they are more curious than in an attack mode. Great underwater footage! Seems like the aggressive ones come and blast you from below, and you never see it coming. My buddy said he literally felt the push of water lift him right before it blasted him, then bang and he was in the water. No time to panic, just react... And on a brighter note, hell of a nice ling you got! Those hitchhikers are always dicey to land. Hell of a day to finish the year on eh?
Taku to Adam: you don't have fish in the water do you?
While Taku continues to fish while shark circles kayak 🤣🤔
Btw great shark footage
Watched Adam's video first,so I knew about your meet and greet with the great while shark. I'm glad to see you both came through it unscathed. Congrats on your PB lingcod.
Much love. Good decision on not bleeding that fish with the great white around. Your the best chef ...I have not resources to cook like that . would love to taste all those parts....
now thats gotta be the craziest fishing day ive watched in awhile!
Catching fish without hooking it was amazing. Those lingcods are insane and aggressive. What an epic and dangerous day. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy cooking those up.
That has to be the most action packed video you ever shot! Epic.
I'm always grateful when you show your fillet techniques!! You do such an amazing job! Can't wait to see how you cook all these different parts up!
What a fun video! Losing those two and landing that monster was a roller coaster of emotion.
Great video Taku echoing others.
Can't wait to see how you cook eggs and liver. Maybe some eggs with the liver? Or cream cheese on crackers and marinated eggs on top.
That lings head is big enough for two pots of hot and sour soup. Like you said, use back bone for the stock. Mouth is watering. Thank you again.
I can't be the only one yelling JUST USE THE NET while watching this 😂😂😂
What an amazing video re: near miss on that ling. One of your best ever. The funniest part is you had a huge net right behind you. We've all been there my friend..
Fishing in Alaska a few years ago -- slow day, I hooked the only halibut that day, got it to the boat (smallish 25#) and my fishing buddy messed around trying to get a perfect gaff shot for almost a minute and it popped the hook at the boat.
What a great clip this is, it's got it all.
It's creepy how sharks stalk yaks from behind, many kayak fisherman don't even see them, but drone footage reveals it. I've been stalked by a huge hammerhead, scary stuff. I once had a small hammerhead jump from the side of the boat into my yak, I put my feet behind my head in a flash like a yoga master.
Loved the way this fish was broken down, great stuff.
Man I was so mad you loss the other two big ones in the beginning but boy I jumped for joy when you finally caught the third one. I love this channel
5:55, when that fish dropped. I felt that in my soul. But bro glad y'all came out of that safe. Also thanks for these, absolutely amazing for these holiday prep days when I need something.
Best fishing video ever!
Thanks for sharing
Hey Taku, I found a site with fish liver recipe. Very simple actually. They cut it into strips and put on skewers and grill. Just salt and olive oil. They have an option to put a jam or marmalade on it after cooking briefly. It is call the meat eater
That couldn't have worked out more perfect. A nice long and you kept the bait. Those green ling are really good eating. Nice fish
I was surfing in central ca and saw a shark splashing around about 20 yards away. Went in and told a lifeguard then paddled back out down the beach by the pier. The lifeguards went on the pier and saw it too. Confirmed sighting of an 18 to 20 footer. Crazy
*Huge great white shark!*
Keeps fishing from tiny kayak
Duuuuude get rid of that yellow kayak! That is the most attractive color for sharks. They see different shades of gray but yellow stands out like neon to them. Love the vids I’m trying to make vids now. Maybe I’ll see you on the water out here in cali!!
I thought for sure after losing the first one that you would reach back for the net on the second. I was yelling at my TV... USE THE NET!! Congrats on the PB.
The enthusiasm, the excitement, the chaos.
Whats up Taku? Long time, first time. Action packed video 📹. Lots of Cod action, shark action, and your are deadly with that water bottle!
Monster fish and outstanding prep technique. Well done Tako!
Spooky brah. I’ve encountered lots of Tiger Sharks in Hawaii but great whites aren’t real common there. I’ve had a few big tigers chase me and my surfing buddies out of the water a couple times. Never paddled so fast to shore in my life.
Out trolling for tuna and Mahi on my friend’s fishing boat, we had a huge tiger shark who kept taking every tuna we brought to the boat. He stayed right under the boat and would dart out and grab the tuna, and leave us only with a head. He definitely knew to avoid the hook so only took the body. Probably been robbing fishermen for years that way. That’s why we call them the “Tax Collectors”.
We finally just hit the throttle and found a different bird pile. That shark wasn’t letting us have any fish.
When you caught that Ling cod and thought about bleeding it, I was really hoping you’d change your mind. That great white would have most likely came right in and ripped it off your stringer. It took some balls to even continue fishing after you saw that shark. Especially from a little kayak.
Great video, acute sphincter spasms I’ll bet. Stay safe, Aloha. 🤙🏼
Dang that huge ling cod splashing around would have made me paranoid of attracting the great white again lol. Awesome catch, and glad you're both safe!
Yeah Adam is right on . Taku you were feeding him he wants another, lol. Glad your safe bro.
I enjoyed watching your video and how you gave thanks to the fish and appreciated your catch. The excitement of the GW shark would be a lot to handle, especially in a kayak where you are so low to the water. Loved watching you prepare the fish too. Thanks for great content.
I know it worked out in the end with the big lingcod, but the whole time you lost both the others I was shouting,"You know you have a huge net back there, RIGHT??????" LOL, awesome video to watch, tho.
So many gws off the cali coast… surprised there aren’t more attacks. Stay safe Taku! Scout & Roo say hi! 👋
Damm my boy....this episode was Exiting! The Shark the Catch!...it had it all....👍🏻
nahhh but its better to be safe than sorry, kinda like driving in the snow. nothing is worth more than you're life. I appreciate you're content and just wanted to say im glad you're safe. and please keep up the amazing work
I have never seen anyone land a fish without setting the hook. Goes to show how correct you were with saying ling cod love that bait. Amazing video man.
That made your and my day. I thought you were going to give up but it was MAGICAL!!!!!😁😁😁🤜🤛
Cali heard you Taku and said hold my beer...lemme send some rain your way lol
The best ever video you have made. I’m really looking forward to the follow up videos.
Haha, 3rd the charm, “make sure it don’t come back alive” 😂
Which of your knives are you using to break down the Ling? Also awesome seeing NWFS watching this episode at his new mountain farm. Y'all need another episode together soon.
Love your Channel Taku. As a nw fishermen and deep water guide my only advice is to use the net on lingcod and black cod they go crazy by the boat. I feel for ya buddy . Those were 2 great lings
Sucks to see you lose those two fish with such a big net right behind you haha 😂
That shark definitely smelt the blood from both of those lings that unfortunately got off your gaff, aswell as the splashing and commotion they were causing. Gotta keep your eyes peeled out there that’s for sure! Great video Taku
Dang Taku, I think you're onto something! Dangle a large hook off the keel of the Yak and paddle hard....top water fishing for Great White shark!! 😂
You're making a mistake pulling those "green" fish into the boat like that. They've still got plenty of strength and energy and when they're removed from the water they've got every reason to use them both. Try holding the fish next to the boat - use the gaff to pin it's head against your hull - and try to shove a knife blade into it's brain. Thanks for bringing us along, the weather couldn't have gotten any better!
Scary! incredible footage of the GW! Nice Fish too! thanks for sharing! Always a great watch, take care and stay safe.
Bro after that first sighting i wouldve been outta there im surprised he didnt breach on your kayak…crazy
Its so adorable seeing the little taco mad 🤣🤣🤣
This is one of my favorite video...great job on the shark n pb
I'm behind on your video's, but I always watch them all. The GW footage was amazing, and congrats on your PB Ling! If your serious about getting into hunting, I'd love to be your personal guide/host here in the middle of the bourbon trail in Kentucky.
Super job! Net jobs were a spectacular relief!
Amamzing video. The underwater shots of the shark were incredible. Too bad you weren't able to catch that breach.
Would love to see you do a knife centric video in the future. I know you have done several Amazon knife reviews. I think it would be very interesting to see you show us each of your knives, what you use them for, how you care for them, and how you sharpen them.
Keep up the good work!
I would never be comfortable on a little boat with great whites nearby. You got big ones man.
You got to do the technique that they were doing on the boat where you and Jocelyn were fishing where they slap it in the head with the backside of the Gap and knock it unconscious and then they gaff it hella hard in the head
Woooowwww!!!!! Amazing video ! Your heart must of been racing!
I almost unsubscribed if you weren’t gonna use that huge net behind you! Lol, glad you got it done Taku! Great catch and nice to see that the shark left you alone. I think he was curious from all the commotion of losing the other 2 big fish prior? Good work!
That net behind you looks helpful!!! 😂
Awesome video keep them coming!!!
I was so scared to watch. good thing I knew you lived to tell the tale.That ling cod had leopard skin on!
Taku, I watched Adams's video yesterday and that brought up a subject I have always wondered about. Sharks and Seals while Yak fishing. Bleeding and having the fish on a stringer over the side. I'm surprised you guys aren't robbed by seals and stocked by more sharks but this was the first time I have seen it happen. Good underwater shot too!! That really was a nice fish and watching you filet a fish is art!!
Not sure you'd catch me out solo kayaking. I think with a buddy you are generally ok!
Stay safe! Imagine a 20fter coming to check you out.
Ohhhhh wow speechless brotha sometimes that’s just the way it goes down. Keep on slayin taku
Crazy stuff! Glad you guys are ok!
I've been saying it to myself for months... "when is a great white going to make a appearance in one of these videos" He is in a well-known hotspot for great whites. Surprised it didn't happen a lot sooner.
The water bottle being dented lmao😂 I had no clue there heads were that hard
