Shark Encounters

by

Holy cow, I was holding my breath the entire time I watched this (as if I was the guy in this video).

This spear-fisherman starts off by tagging a nice fish off Police Beach in Haleiwa, Oahu (Hawaii).

You see him go back to his kayak to put the fish on the stringer and then…

Pa-POW!

A 13ft Tiger Shark comes from out of nowhere, and it is sitting about 10 feet from the diver when he puts his head back under water.

Me thinks I would have had a little extra volume in my wetsuit if you know what I mean…

Then the Tiger Shark makes multiple rounds at an attempt to get as close as he can to the free meal waiting for him at the kayak…

But the diver stands his ground with his spear in hand, warding off the Tiger Shark at every attempt.

Don’t miss the 4-minute mark when the video is slowed down. WOW!

Epic underwater tiger shark footage!

This is certainly the year of the “Great White Shark“!

And just wait until you see this Great White video below that was recently captured on film 45 miles south of Long Beach, NY.

In regards to Great White Sharks, we still can’t figure out if the Great White population is actually getting bigger, if the sharks are just exploring new areas, or if the increase in Great White sightings is due to more people having cameras and GoPros on them at all times.

Either way, there have been a TON of Great White Shark sightings this year.

Here are just a few of the viral shark videos in the past couple of months:

  • “16ft Great White Encounter. This time in Jupiter, FL” (watch it here)
  • “Another Great White Captured on Film. This time in the Gulf!” (watch it here)
  • “The Most Terrifying Great White Encounter You’ll Ever See!” (watch it here)

Back to the video at hand.

In this video below, a group of anglers from New York came across an approximate 35-40 ft dead whale that had a few sharks circling it while intermittingly going in for some free food on the carcass.

As they got closer to the whale, they noticed that one of the sharks circling the whale was a massive Great White Shark. And they found out quickly that this Great White did not want them around.

After circling the boat for a while, it came up a few times near the engine before finally going back to the dead whale to get a bite to eat. Most likely trying to scare them away from his meal.

Amazing!

I can’t even imagine being on that boat. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience.

We’ve had some pretty amazing GT (Giant Trevally) videos on the home page so far this year.

If you missed them, here are the top 3 GT Viral Fishing Videos (you can always come back and watch these after you view the showcase video below)

  • “Barracuda Comes Out of Nowhere and Explodes on GT” (watch it here)
  • “Unbelievable GT Attack on Bait Pod” (watch it here)
  • “Giant Trevally Steals GoPro and Leaves Wicked Bite Marks!” (watch it here)

And we are pleased to add this new video, “Shark Attacks GT” right on the flats in front of angler, to the list. After watching it a few times to triple check that it was indeed a girl screaming (and not a guy screaming like a girl), I can’t stop laughing every time I hear her scream as the shark approaches her feet.

Hope you enjoy this new GT video.

P.S. – If you liked this video and think you friends would enjoy, please share. Pa-POW!

Let’s face it, we’ve probably all had some sort of accident or “fishing fail’ while out fishing before. If you spend enough time on the water, you will eventually be involved in some fishing story that has your fishing buddies laughing…

Whether it be hooking yourself (or a friend), losing an anchor, getting your lure stuck in a mangrove, hooking the bottom of the seafloor, falling out of a boat, or perhaps even sinking a boat… the fishing fail possibilities are limitless.

The good news is that most of us are fortunate that there aren’t always cameras rolling when we made our goofs… but not this guy.

This blacktip shark fishing fail was recently captured on video when the LakeForkGuy did some blacktip shark fishing with none other than Josh Jorgensen of BlacktipH. And it just so happened that the Lake Fork Guy had his dad come along to enjoy some shark fishing… but little did his dad know that he would be the hit of the party.

Well I won’t ruin the fail for you, let’s just say the slow-mo footage is pretty spot on.

Make sure to listen to his dad’s “fishing story” of how the whole shark release fail went down. Pretty funny.

P.S. – Please Like and Share if you have ever had a fail while fishing. Or better yet, TAG a friend that has had a funny fishing fail. Fish On!

This video is kind of like a Lays potato chip, you can’t just watch it once…

In fact, I must have watched it 5 times in a row after I saw it for the first time this week. It’s pretty rad.

Here’s the scoop on this Great White Shark Aerial Attack:

This amazing Great White aerial attack is actually a Great White hitting a seal decoy dragged behind a boat. These powerful Great White sharks hunt seals by coming up from the deep at high speeds, and hitting the seal clear out of the water. The shark’s speed is enough to lift the seal and itself (many of these Great Whites weigh in upwards of 2,000 pounds) straight out of the water.

Also, this video was captured in Table Bay (Cape Town, South Africa), the biggest breeding ground of Great White sharks in the world.

The other day we posted a video that went Viral with nurse sharks in a feeding frenzy up on a dock. It was called, “This is what happens when you treat Nurse Sharks like Dogs” (watch it here).

In that video, you can see some of the tamest nurse sharks out there.

However, in this video, you see just the opposite… as this nurse shark aggressively attacks a lionfish shortly after smelling blood from the diver’s knife stab.

And even though nurse sharks don’t have gnarly teeth like a bull shark, they can still leave a nasty reminder on your arm or hand that you definitely don’t want to be bitten by a nurse.

This diver is lucky that he pulled his hand away just in time, as it was inches from getting nailed. Check it out below.

This shark attack video is nuts!

And this guy (Al McGlashan) is pretty lucky that this big Mako Shark didn’t come after him as he jumped in the water to get some footage of the Marlin they just caught.

This paddleboarder’s famous last words…

“It’s going to be real interesting when this thing gets up to the surface…”

Yep, we couldn’t agree more. Which is why you will only see me catching inshore catching snook, redfish, and trout from a paddleboard.

And for those of you that have never tried paddle-boarding before, know that it isn’t that easy to paddle board out in the ocean without losing a little balance every once in a while, let alone fight a big thresher shark (probably why this paddleboarder sat down a few times).

But he does stand up on his Hobie paddleboard a few times while fighting this shark, so color me impressed.

Note: The paddleboarder in the video is Jared Lane, of Fastlane Sailing Center. He is using a Hobie SUP, and this footage was near La Jolla, CA.

Jared, you are certainly Salt Strong my friend.

If you have ever been “Big Game” Kayak Fishing, then you know that there are numerous things that can go wrong while fighting a big fish from a kayak.

Anything from a big fish flipping your kayak over (usually from your drag being set too tight), to being speared by a billfish, to being bitten by a shark, to being slapped by a Goliath Grouper.

Not to mention, a big fish usually has no problem pulling your light kayak all over the place… sometimes even miles out to sea…

Which is exactly what happened in this kayak fishing video. In this case it was a big Hammerhead Shark pulling the lone kayaker miles before finally being seen on film next to the kayak.

Here is the note from Team Rebel Fishing angler:

“Hooked a hammerhead in 50ft of water and got drug out to 250ft. It ate a bonito 5ft from my kayak. Turned out to be about 11ft shark.”

Hope you enjoy the video, and please share with any of your kayak angler friends.
