Extreme kayak fishing? This South African, Riaan Manswer, might win the record for most extreme kayak fishing trip as well as the most masochistic way to get a shamelss TV plug for your lure sponsor: stick the treble hook in your finger.
Narrator: "Another day, his Rapala lure ended up embedded in his flesh."
I guess it ain't easy being a "solo adventurer," because Manser's looking for a personal assistant to build his brand, in case you're interested in a little behind-the-scenes PR work on his upcoming adventures.
Eight intrepid mariners will compete in a month-long small boat adventure race called the Ultimate Florida Challenge. The race is scheduled to start at 7 a.m. on March 6 near the entrance to Tampa Bay.
The course is a 1,200-mile counter-clockwise circumnavigation of Florida in 30 days or less. It is open to boats propelled by human and/or wind power only. No tows, no rides. (one exception -- one of the boats includes an experimental solar-powered auxillary electric motor.)
This isn't a video about kayak fishing per se, but what the heck. Whatever inspires you to get out on the water. I'm sure a lot of us can relate to this. The efforts we go to for the sports we love.

Is it safe to kayak fish in waders? We posted Jim Sammons’ video about this question a few weeks ago.
Sammons’ contention is that taking an unplanned swim in waders is not the one-way ticket to the hereafter that common wisdom suggests. And he proved the point with a hefty dose of sarcasm and a leap into his neighbor’s pool.
We got a wide range of replies, some congratulating us on the posting and others saying we were spreading dangerous information.
"Kayak anglers might drown because of Jim Sammons' stupid and misleading movie," said one reader.
Here's a follow-up post to clarify the question of wader safety versus the alternative: wearing a full drysuit. To sum up, waders are safe in some conditions and potentially very dangerous in others. Opt for a drysuit in cold or rough-water conditions where an accident could mean spending some time in the water.
