Sea Bass and Bonitos - Kayak Fishing on the Edge - Sagres - 1080HD 50fps

A true adventure, trolling for european Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus Labrax) and Atlantic Bonito (Sarda sarda) my favorite species on a beautiful and wild landscape.

Kayak fishing on the razor's edge, feel the adrenaline, an over board situation, fighting Bonitos using light rods, a very painful bite, the dangers of being blown onto the coastal rocks, a major fissure on the Kayak, a kayak half full of water...

The Japanese method IKIJIME is used to paralyze the fish and to maintain the quality of its meat (insertion of a spike behind and above the eye, thereby causing immediate brain death). The standard method of bleeding (through a gill cut) is used on the Bonitos to improve flesh quality.

The fishing journey took place on the vicinity of Sagres Point, from the Latin Promontorium Sacrum ‘Holy Promontory’ , is a windswept shelf-like promontory located in the southwest Algarve region of southern Portugal. Infante Dom Henry the Navigator commenced his explorations and initiate the Portuguese Age of Discoveries from Sagres.
