In this day and age of everything being so "extreme", I think it is only prudent to jump on the bandwagon as anglers.

Ideas so far include:

-Jetty fishing in flip flops.
-Surf fishing in a canoe.
-(lucky Strike's) "Waterfall Bungee Jump Snaggin"

And, my most extreme experience so far:
-Fishing for dinner while snorkeling. On a reef, in Belize, with ample sharks, and very curiuos barracuda.

Cheers!

Try Tuna angling 40 miles out in a small boat.

That'll get your adrenaline going.

I saw a guy out at the West Bight jetty on Key West handlining a 7ft + lemon shark onto the jetty. He was barefoot and the rig he used was the standard Cuban Gentleman rig. A hoop shaped line dispenser with line a weight and hook. you hold the spool like a spinning reel spool to cast and then wind it on by hand to retrieve.

He was pretty quick on his feet and did not get any toes bit off. He was stepping pretty lively.
