Great White Shark, East Coast Tasmania

I had'nt been home in two years and was asked if I wanted to go fishing for the weekend, I declined, and was handed this video on the sunday afternoon.

[@christopherhansford6876]

Makes me proud to be Aussie! "We just saved you, ya bastard! Don't come back!". Love it.

[@Trouble-Clef]

You guys did an awesome job saving that shark! You really did “fair dinkum” ! But seriously, it’s so fabulous that you all reached out to save this creature when it surely would’ve died. We need more people like you. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@mehitabel1290]

"We just saved yer, ye bastard.... Don't come back!" .. Gotta love the Aussies!

[@Justicia007]

[@greggsmith7688]

Nice going boys, did not understand a bloody word you said. But thanks for helping it go free. Yes i am a Surfer

[@bblando65]

Thanks for saving such a beautiful animal...

[@maineoutdoorsman677]

bblando65 it's not animal it's a fish .i bet u don't cry when u eat chicken or a burger

[@joannamallory2823]

I know this is years old, but very gratifying to watch.

[@tomtalker2000]

Good for them for saving this white pointer. Well done guys...!!!

[@mybluebelly]

For once a shark video i haven`t seen before!

[@smallone9825]

Same

[@christianburk2432]

Me too. I have been watching every great white shark video. The damage they can do when they make that first attack is ridiculous. They are the most terrifying and fascinating creatures on planet earth

[@sarahbuster]

WoW, that was totally amazing. Well done for saving that beautiful majestic fishes life. I could not believe just how big it was, not until it swam under your boat.. Thank you for posting this video here on KZbin. Kindest Regards Sarah☺️ Ps, I love to listen to you guys bantering together.

[@frufru0071]

Thanks for sharing this. That 'Porker' wanted to give you a great big kiss for saving her, or express gratitude however Great Whites do, (it didn't want to leave you). Makes for a great start to the day! You folks are fantastic.

[@MrSatisfiction]

Best commentary ever 😂

[@luannebarlet-sloan8069]

He did thank them. He stayed near them after the boat pulled him out and swam close to their boat. That was his way of saying thanks.

[@misterysmithers8566]

And the shark said "Thanks fellas, catch you later ; )"

[@lxtiansen2805]

Beautiful!!! Great job mates!!!

[@samsmith1358]

What is the red stuff in the water? At first, I thought it was the shark's blood, but as the video went on, there was too much of it. Is it algae? Surprised to see a shark in tassie waters. I presumed the water would be too cold. Good on you blokes for helping the shark out.

[@kaylalovell4749]

Looks like bioluminescence

[@davelister2961]

It's an algal bloom.

[@Debbie-gr9hr]

Fabulous job you lot, just wonderful to see.

[@0007molly]

I love Australian people they have a love for animals no matter if it is a shark a crocodile a kangaroo whatever they have the love for all creatures thank you for doing what was right

[@markhepworth1396]

[@danza88]

Good on you guys for saving the shark. Respect.

[@catweasle5737]

Ahhhh....it's good to hear my native language on youtube for a change.

[@catweasle5737]

***** That's true blue Aussie. Are you from over seas?

[@kirstygordon6063]

Catweasle love it 👍

[@annabizaro-doo-dah]

Catweasle Didn't understand a bloody word. Definitely Aussie.

[@julianraiders1112]

True blue ocker.

[@marcodalli5045]

thats very kind of you said the great white and i must say that your little boy looks very appetizing with some beans and a nice bottle of Chianti.

[@csnyder820]

They all had a nice afternoon of shark releasing and vegimite sandwiches. Crazy bloats. Seriously though thank you for doing the right thing. You guys rock.

[@deathbyastonishment7930]

Bloats?

[@marvinchristian401]

Awesome job guys! That's a HUGE & BEAUTIFUL GWS! For people saying it's a Thresher, you're either trolling for likes, trying to mess with people or just simply DUMB. 15+ easily. Also, the water color is from the GWS beached on the bottom. Kicking up mud. You guys ROCK!

[@martiansarepunk]

Excellent work gentlemen.

[@baltimorebob100]

He is seriously tuckered out...but I'm so glad he was saved...big ups to you bloaks

[@SasoCasablanca63]

I have no idea what you guys were saying (and I English is my native tongue) but you guys rock saving that shark!!! Humanity exists!

[@MrPrincebass99]

Looks like a red tide. The shark may have been stuck in shore and suffering from a lack of oxygen in the water. Well done, fellas.

[@joannamallory2823]

Prince Ricker it was caught in a net and my guess is the color of the water is due to mud at the shores edge....it became clear just a bit further out.

[@habbi126]

Thanks for uploading!

[@1vigorousdragon]

Bloody Taswegians get all the fun. I would say a 14 footer, beautiful fish, well done Boys!!

[@subcreecha]

Awesome mates good job!

[@chellephillips349]

Well Done Lads.

[@walkman7191]

Lol, click on cc for subtitles. KZbin needs to update their programming to translate Aussie bogan.

[@headfirsttryingtoskydive1052]

WALKMAN Aussie bogan 🤔 I'm pretty sure Aussies don't care weather you can understand us or not.... if anything we'd have to talk in not a bright fashion for you to understand

[@clebmedia]

[@jonomason4256]

Did they manage to cut all that net away? i get a a bit concerned when I see a bit of net or six pack plastic hanging off the wild life as it swims by

[@t-man5196]

How long you reckon she was head to tail, 15 feet or so?

[@alanlane6419]

awesome job lads

[@leecoates4082]

great save fella's

[@dredrotten]

Lots of coral spawn there,where is the coral around Tasmania?

[@KINGSBLACKBELT]

Shark...wants to say thank you!

[@Cheetahsmonk]

why is the eater red?

[@SnaykEyes77]

Good job guys.

[@shawngatewood3673]

Man...that's a big fish ..

[@SailingHighSeas]

Good job

[@artisansportsman8950]

Will the shark survive ? it looked a bit knackered

[@jakecroc]

That's a grand sight

[@pjneslo8979]

Great to see the Great White saved, they have just as much right to be in the ocean as we have. It's all part of the ecosystem. Those asking to kill the shark are just wrong IMO.

[@jimquantic]

Could not agree, more.

[@roquefortfiles]

If there is one thing I can't stand it is monster shark hunters like Vic Hislop. We don't need people like this today. I absolutely hate these monster shark goofs. I don't want a world where the only place you can see a great white shark is stuffed hanging in the Smithsonian. And all these monster shark macho goofs are part of it.

[@Truth-Assassin]

roquefortfiles Easy there, it's not the 70's & 80's anymore. The Great White population is thriving & is actually returning to an abundant level.

[@mattyf1247]

PJ Neslo They have more right than we do 🤘🏻

[@csnyder820]

They have every right to be right where they are. It's us that needs to respect their home.

[@kennybostic474]

Why is the water that color, could it be a sign of a red tide? I'm not sure but once he got out of there he was doing better. That was a pretty big GW shark. When they are turned upsidedown the go into a tatonic state, that is how the Killer (Dolfin) Whale, kills them. The killer whale is not a whale but it is the largest member of the dolfin family. Thanks!

[@huwenliu2826]

Good video

[@sandycooper5025]

Nice job fellas.

[@deltagibson2476]

Silence is golden

[@paulajewitt2012]

You reckon it beached getting away from a orka?

[@kevinlee6866]

Can’t understand what they said but Did they mention china?

[@markgodleman1549]

well done guys

[@davidschmidt7761]

Now That’s A Fishin Story

[@scobe2812]

Any other country and it was quite possibly dinner. I believe most Aussies still have a sense empathy towards the natural environment. Aussie Government and big business, not so much

[@916nando]

Asians would of killed it and sold its fins

[@brownson1970]

that is 100% great white so great job guys

[@Jason-rs6co]

nothin like good old aussie banter

[@jeffreythompson1328]

That's a pretty big flatty

[@peterfellowes1408]

There seems to be footage of two sharks spliced together here (not sure why). The shark in difficulty at the start is definitely a Thresher (note the huge tail fin with distinctive 'diamond' tip). The footage at the end, around 8:00 mins in, shows a Great White without question (note the distinct white underside and pointed snout). More importantly, note the fact that the tail fin doesn't even break the surface as it is much shorter than the first shark - just compare their sizes to the dorsal fins. If the second shark WAS the first shark, it's tail fin would still be cutting the surface despite the dorsal tip only just showing. In short, shark 1: Thresher, shark 2: Great White. Still great footage!

[@randyBbad]

It's a Great White you novice!

[@peterfellowes1408]

pursuit 82 No need to be so rude. After watching the footage again, I have to admit I was wrong. It IS a Great White. I can now see the white at the lower ends of the tail and the distinctive wide caudal keel as the shark thrashes about. Everyone can make a mistake and today this was mine! Great White it is...

[@lukkaas1898]

Peter Fellowes you got it wrong and admitted it, something you don't see often good on ya

[@katiegenreau]

I wouldn't be wadding around in the water like that

[@TheMjobie67]

it looks to me that the shark was still caught up in net or not in good health.. because i would think it wouldve swam away and not back toward beach.

[@pweter351]

Well done that a allot of flake you let go

[@crazypolite]

Who'd they call...

[@kamikazeyamamoto4545]

Looks like that shark wants to stay with his new friends. This Great White shark just wants a great big hug. WTF are they saying? This bloody video needs subtitles, Mate. Good on ya and your Mates. Cheers!

Nice💞💞

Good on you guys!.....its just an animal and does what it does....be 100 miles away by morning, or not, lol.......can't blame them for doing what they've done for 1 million years

[@dinointhetube]

I luv aussies well done guys for the rescue

[@marksolarz3756]

Nice

[@jeremyg371]

I'm thinking boots, fin soup, shark teeth wall mounting. Should have told the kid it was a dolphin and he should swim with him.

[@elliotjoseph6093]

Gotta love those Aussies

[@JoeyMartz]

He survived! Yay

[@pops9190]

nice

[@TT-jx5wg]

why is the water Red?

[@FiveSigma72]

I think it's sediment from the shallow water the shark was stuck in.

[@deepakehtskan4518]

It's an algal bloom, sometimes called red tide. It occurs in hot spells, and when water begin s to become anoxic (deoxygenated). Incredibly dangerous to marine life for two reasons: it physically suffocates them through coating the gills; and removes oxygen from the water. The lack of oxygen makes the shark dopey and restricts oxygen flow to the brain, resulting lethargy, poor decisions, and it prevents the flight instinct from getting the shark (or any animal) out of danger. The red tide makes everything dopey, that why the,shark wasn't moving. As soon as it was in clear water it was fine, and clearly was thinking again, which is why it came back to assess and observe the humans that helped it. That beauty will now trust humans, sadly.

[@lancehenderson3140]

Tanja Tanja because

[@estevan007]

wonder what great white shark tastes like

[@justinhealey2408]

Is this a red tide occurance..ive seen it bfore its kills all the fish around mayb thats its problem

[@Scrimroy]

The net it was stuck in was the problem mate... initially the crew though it was dead and it was up side down not moving and second boat was brought in... probably should of died as it was stationary for some time give or take.....

[@justinhealey2408]

@@Scrimroy gotcha thanx..have u ever seen a red tide?..pretty nasty

[@Muzzie0323]

I couldn't understand a word they were saying.. LOL

[@redavis6581]

That's because they're all drunk on Fosters beer ;)

no Tasmanians drink fosters beer . its terrible. south drink cascade and north drink boags . im from north boags is better . but that's what i grew up with

If the shark bit you it would have to lick its own arse to get the taste out of its mouth...

It's a loan shark, with bad diarrhea.

Are they speaking...English?

[@patrickcollins7407]

Is the shark confirmed as a Great White....? It does not look like a Great White. I have cage dived with them in Gainsbaai South Africa and that shark does not seem to have the body shape of a Great White.... The tail fin looks too high and the shark's girth not wide enough.....?

[@Scrimroy]

It's been confirmed , I will post he news coverage soon, cheers

[@johnrotten3268]

7:58, that is most definitely a pointer.... the size and the white belly with the gray top. 15 footer.

[@coleytoons]

I'm not gonna lie there's like 5 things that are my greatest fears not being able to save my daughter in a life threatening situation, SHARKS , burning alive, spiders and werewolves. I know the last one is ridiculous. But I think that was awesome how they didn't just say "F××k It one less shark to worry about" so Major Props to the crazy was Tasmanians.

[@noninoni9962]

Fishermen aren't the brightest... I was thinking, "which one will to lose a limb because they assume it's dead." They should have kept the rope on it and taken it out to deeper water.

[@Loogiemistress]

Fucking good job.

Yes there Aussie, it is a Thresher.

☈ thunder down under, great southern land,go AUSIE woohoooooo!!

[@soko2407]

There are two different sharks in this video.The first one is for sure not a great white maybe a thrasher but the one at the end of the video is a great white

[@Scrimroy]

no you are very wrong... 1 Great white... as for the thresher shark i.d like others before you, I am guessing you have not googled a picture of one, let alone seen one in real life. first one to call two different sharks though.

[@harrisonbailey9476]

Tail replicates a thresher shark because it is in such shallow water and is propped up on the seabed. It's a white pointer.

[@benspencer2746]

Half an hour later that shark ate someone......but at least you saved the shark 😒 #killorbekilled

[@raulf100]

no shit prob came back and ate his kid

[@dyslexiusmaximus]

Don't be a fuck wit. Culling sharks is retarded. More people die crossing the road then get bit by sharks. Should we ban cars or crossing the road? No because that would be retarded.

[@overthehills_faraway8320]

I always thought a study should be done on humans why if you move people from Britian to Australia do they talking like that? It's bizarre when you think about it.

[@bendigorider1799]

I'm an Australian and my best guess as to why we talk the way we do is . 1> It's a blend of how aboriginals speak 2> believe it or not if you spend a lot of time in the bush and you open your mouth too much a fly will go straight down it. I live in a city so the problem in cities isn't so bad but when I go out the bush I try not to open my mouth too much, seriously you can easily swallow 4 or five flies in about half an hour. So if you wan't to try having an Australian accent hold your nose while speaking and don't open you mouth much. A word which is modified by Australians is "how" in full Aussie mode we say ow. I think the h was dropped because that's the point at which the fly flew into your mouth. So "how are you" is "ow are ya". BTW we run our words together with little or no breaks. It's even confused me when I got my first job my boss said "didjahavacanacoke" . I had to have him repeat it 4 times before I understood him , "Did You Have A Can of Coke".

[@andrewrobertson3894]

lol that's pretty accurate actually
