Just wait until you see this wild shark attack that occurred in about 70 feet of water in the Cayman Islands.

And it might surprise you why this shark attack video is one of the most controversial shark attack videos on YouTube to date…

It wasn’t over people debating whether this was “Officially” considered a shark attack or not…

And it wasn’t the tree-huggers getting angry about someone spearing such a beautiful fish as a Lionfish (although there were many comments from people getting angry about the “beautiful fish” being speared… of course, you and I know how incorrect that is)…

Then why was it so controversial?

It was so controversial because hordes of people think that this shark attack video was created/edited/animated from a video game!

I wish I was making this stuff up… but there are over 2,800 comments on this video and the main ones all focus on this video being fake. Check them out for yourself here.

If you are scratching your head like I am, then I don’t blame you…

Take a look yourself and let us know what you think in the comments.

BlacktipH is no stranger to making it on Salt Strong.

With one of the most watched saltwater fishing YouTube channels of all-time (with over 100,000 subscribers), BlacktipH continues to put out amazing fishing content after amazing fishing content.

In this video below, BlacktipH (aka Josh Jorgensen) goes out cobia fishing with Dr. Robert Borrego, and they have a quite a day to remember…

If it wasn’t enough to catch a couple monster cobia, but they also get some face time with some big ol’ Bull Sharks!

Not to mention, even had a run in with some Goliath Grouper.

Check this out!

I think the only worse vessel to be on while a Great White Shark circles you would be a surfboard…

Fortunately for these two kayak anglers (Theuns Botha and his friend) they were fishing together and were able to tie up next to each other to form a more “unflippable” kayak.

Not to mention appear bigger to the shark.

And even though this Great White Shark might have just been “curious”, that’s much easier to say for someone watching a video than actually being just a foot away from a 12ft shark while sitting on a light kayak…

Good job of remaining cool gents.

Note: This footage was from Hartenbos, South Africa.

Check out this sick drone footage that “Birds-i-View” captured while hovering over the sandbar outside of Destin’s east pass.

If you live anywhere near the Florida panhandle and want to catch sharks, now you know where to go…

Around the :53 mark you can see exactly where this is in Destin.

Finally, if you know what kinds of sharks these are, leave a comment.

Enjoy!

You can call Great White Sharks “curious” all you want, but if you have ever been freediving and had a shark surprise you like this, the last thing on your mind is a “curious shark”…

Especially when the shark happens to be a Great White Shark!

And when the shark starts circling you and coming back in within feet of you, panic mode starts to settle in…

Just wait til’ you see what happens when he breaks the surface and then looks back down… soiled wetsuit time!

Enjoy this wild shark encounter off Cape Cod, South Africa.

Talk about the perfect underwater camera placement!

My brother Luke and I tried this one time in about 40 feet of water, and we never could get a perfect shot.

But our friend “Show Me The Snapper” managed to get some really amazing footage of not only a grouper eating his live bait on the hook, but then a shark coming after the hooked grouper!

You couldn’t ask for better underwater footage when you leave your GoPro down on the bottom of the ocean floor while fishing!

According to Show Me The Snapper, this was filmed in 60ft of water on the west coast of Florida in an area that he had lost many nice fish to sharks.

Enjoy and please share after you watch it.

Many fishermen call the sharks that swipe in and steal your fish after you put in all of the work to wear the fish out as “The Tax Man”.

And what’s worse that a “Tax Man”?

Two Tax Men!

In this wild video, an angler is bringing up a nice tarpon to the boat (I believe this is Boca Grande, Florida) when all of a sudden two bull sharks come up and tag team the tarpon right in front of the boat.

The entire ambush was caught on film by the guide in the tower, and this is certainly a day of tarpon fishing that these men will never forget.

Wowzers!

This is a BEAST of a shark.

While Mike Korostelev and his friends were shark diving (in cages), Mike decided to pull out the drone to get a bird’s eye view from above the cage.

Here is what he captured below.

Pretty cool stuff. That shark is MASSIVE!

Note: I thought for sure we were going to see a shark attack when he found the seal nearby!

Enjoy!

Imagine this…

You and your buddy are out fishing for sharks while recording some great footage.

After a 15-minute fight with a shark, you finally bring a nice thresher shark up the boat.

You pull the shark up out of the water to show off your catch for that one last money shot on film and then…

Pa-POW!!!

The thresher shark has his ultimate revenge!

Not to mention, hundreds of thousands of anglers get to witness your release fail on film.

Enjoy!
