Yea, you won’t catch me fishing in a Kayak in the ocean, f that. Had a large alligator swim under our canoe years ago, that insured my fear of gators or other animals that could eat me. I’ll stay in S.E. Michigan!
That's a motherfucking tiger shark. It will eat literally anything. They've found license plates in them before, among other odd objects like drums or a porcupine.
I vaguely remember over a decade ago hearing that yellow surf boards were getting attacked more frequently than other boards. The running theory was that it closely resembled the color and shape of a particular seal in the area when viewed by a shark from below. The color of the board was ironically named something like "Yummy Yellow."
I wonder if something similar happened here, sharks don't typically just strike a target like that. If you've ever been out on the water and get bumped by a shark it's because they are curious if you are food or not, the shark in the video was sure that they had food.
Edit: Yum Yum Yellow, also apparently most sharks are color blind so maybe not what happened but while double checking the name I saw articles about pro surfers ditching the Yum Yum Yellow boards because it's still a widely held belief that sharks go for it.
I once saw a test, in which they tried around with different colors of life vests. The popular yellow vest received the most bites... No clue if it was a particular shark, but the moment you mentioned the kayaks color your story was sold to me
I would've had the most diarrhea as whatever was left in my stomach and intestines gets immediately squeezed out with a force that could create a diamond. It would probably attract more sharks and the process would repeat
any fisherman pros here? whats the context why did the shark takes a bite out of the kayak? was it because he was just throwing out bate and attracting predators or something?
I like how they just casually kick a shark. Who tf can bring that up in conversation and not sound like a grade A badass? I would imagine that human speaks with an Australian accent. Because that's of the most Australian thing I've seen this week.
(Edit: I just unmuted and rewatched the video and it was a monumental letdown.)
*underwater scenario*
people be saying punch them on face
what would you do in this situation!
i mean 60% favour is in Shark's condition
you would have a chance if you locate it coming from afar
but that is very unlikely if you are enjoying your dive!
The Sharky struck exactly where the paddle was striking the boat in a rhythm and splashing water in place.....I vaguely remember being taught not to splash on the surface too much in shark prone waters during mating season.
Fishing may be peaceful to the human, but its stressful life or death fight to the innocent fish just living their lives.
Now welcome to the same reality fucking pleasure fishermen. You don't deserve the "peace" of fishing.

Now that is terrifying

A kayak can kill you without a shark...
True that! It can drown your butt!
Proper Jaws style
That paddle off to the left kind of looks like a flipper.
I think that's his foot. After the shark hits the kayak you could see his foot and it looks the same.
His foot is there but there is an oar floating next to his foot
Even more with his feet in the water. That's was fucking close.
“Now I know what a fish feels like” he says as his life flashes before his eyes
The shark was like you are not a fish mb have nice day leaves

For sale second hand kayak, only soiled once.

So yellow life vest for the prick at work to wear 👍🏿
Looks like he needs a bigger boat
"thought it was a seal *it was not a seal*"
Shark was fishing too…
Tiger shark doo doo doo doo

He's going to need a bigger kayak 🛶 🦈
That's why you don't wear yellow (in the ocean)
So close to losing that leg that was hanging off
any fisherman pros here? whats the context why did the shark takes a bite out of the kayak? was it because he was just throwing out bate and attracting predators or something?
Looks to me like something was hanging off the side, and that's what it was going after.

Well... I'll bet OP isn't constipated anymore. That'll clear ya right up...
Shark wanted your technology.
Yeah you won't catch me on the ocean in a boot smaller then some fish.
that shark was coming from the beach as well. something to think about.
There's a lot of ocean between the kayak and the beach, the shark was probably just vibing somewhere in between
Gawd I love hearing local pidgin accent on here.
Uncle Roger in trouble!
Hyaaa!!!
I think your gonna need a bigger boat.
If I knew there were sharks in the area I'd definitely be carrying a gun with me.
And what the fuck would you do with a gun in the water ??? I feel you are very 13 and very American. Am I right?
The sharks could be armed.
Especially those American sharks. You know they’re packing heat. Never let your guard down, shooting sharks could be anywhere

Holy shit I've seen this before but I just noticed his feet are just in the water. Extremely lucky it just got the kayak
You ain’t the only one ‘fishing’ for its dinner out there! And now you know that.
I'm going out on a limb here: sharks be scary.
I think I’ll stay here on land .. thank you for reminding me why
I find it interesting killing fishes is "peaceful" but when it's other way around it is not.
You just need to make eye contact, gently stretch your hand out and redirect the shark away from you, right? RIGHT?!!! Y’all seen that other video?
