I think I sold a torch this week, Dan, there is a whole new style of night Surf fishing that requires kayaking out 200 yards and dropping bait with a Hawaiian octopus sinker, kayak back and wait for the kind of fish that is not going to come close enough for a cast. Maybe not so hot for paddling out as Torch is not impermeable but great for observation without having to take huge lanterns when you fish

Shark Week

a guy next to me on the beach was landing something large(insert Jaws music). I was helping him drag the critter through the surf, all that was visible were dorsal and caudal fin. The law where we fished did not allow any shark to be pulled out of the surf. So there he was standing in the surf, in the twilight. He held the line with one hand and an iPhone with the other recording the event. As the shark came closer to the shore a very large mouth opened at his feet. A 71/2 foot sand tiger. I took the line and kept it taut when he prudently fled back up the beach. Had he had two free hands as he recorded the capture he would not have felt his so vulnerable, both eyes were fixed on his cell phone screen as he came a little too close to the snapping jaws. I finished recording the catch and he cut the line to free the shark. I pitched hands free and night vision. Tried it on and was sold. Would have come in handy as another guy caught a hundred pound stingray that lost track of his line as it crossed under other lines.  Modern Fishing Show, Outdoor Channel?
