Spearfishing GONE WRONG.. Heart-Stopping SHARK ENCOUNTER |ep.32

[@GeoRomNews]

Two brilliant brains at work = 380 IQ The best video production in the KZbin Saling Caples. Vessel, location, acting, underwater filmmaking, aerial filming, storytelling, music, superb editing. Shash and Raff, you have no rivals in your category. You are NUMERO UNO AMIGOS! for the rest!

[@glennmiller3957]

This is the best sailing channel video I’ve ever seen, I mean ever, storytelling, video footage and editing are amazing. I hope you pass la vagabond’s subscriber numbers because you guys are on a different level. Glenn from Ireland

[@juniorcobb5162]

Hello Glenn from Ireland I'm from Michigan, USA Well said, sir

[@jastark22181]

​@@juniorcobb5162I'm from Michigan too... Saginaw, Michigan 😊

[@Piszcze1]

I've been watching the Evans for years and its pretty awesome to see you guy together. I've watched all of your videos and I hope to one day follow your lead. Keep up the good work.

[@juniorcobb5162]

@jastark22181 Hi jastark, Owosso here. I've been through your area a few times. Peace Out Homie

[@svdirectorspecial]

100% half to agree, by far my favourite channel, you guys rock

[@dasburke]

100% agree with everyone in the comments, I've followed so many channels. This is the best, power couple.. bunch of big brain babies! I'm looking at a catalina 380, may the winds always be at your backs!

[@anton5577]

The best sailing channel by far!

[@normanrubenis7283]

What a brilliant adventure, that drone shot at the end of you both jumping off the boat was the best I've seen.

[@YesOurLife]

😮what a very, very extraordinary adventure

[@tchrist141]

I give you a year of diving in places like this and you will be the shark whisperer. You will be able to recognize shark behavior better than most and realize the encounter you had with Sir Tiger was special that most never get to experience. Keep diving! BTW....your videography is awesome!!

[@vilgers]

Absolutely agree, it was awesome!!! Something you will remember all your life. Good that you kept still and in a vertical position. Sharks also afraid of bubbles. All these three things works for you well. Normally sharks do not approach directly, they make circles around, starting from several meters in diameter. This particular approach to you is very rare!!!

[@heatherwebster3507]

I'm pretty sure he has been spearing in the Bahamas for a long time now. Before this boat. Check out the older videos.

[@tchrist141]

as long as YOU are pretty sure......@@heatherwebster3507

[@obieandlaurie]

New underwear for Raf on us….great storytelling as always….be well, all the fun in the world to ya both. Cheers, 🤗🍻🤗🍻🤗

[@donsinnard345]

1n 1985 was diving off the Jettys in Panama City with a friend who was a dive instructor with 5 open water students doing their skills. The tide started going out pulling all the dirty water out of the bay, 5 feet behind these students that were facing us a 13-foot hammerhead cruised right behind them. He never turned his head or gave any acknowledgement that he even saw them. None of the students saw him, thank goodness, because no doubt we would have had a punch out or two. We quickly gave the thumbs up to get them out of the water. Biggest hammerhead I ever saw in some 35 years of diving and the closest.

[@witebwoy13]

Woohoo! Made my week to see a Spear It Animal video 😎

[@stevecrombie5357]

Damn! Raff I can't imagine the feeling of turning around and being eye to eye with a big tiger shark. This video had so much in it. We got to see all the clips from your intro over the last few months. I paused at the fire scene in an effort to identify people. I think I got it. Good fun with good people and some absolutely beautiful bottoms. 😄❤

[@nickmitsialis]

At least it didn't 'make contact'...ever see the vid of that veteran sea urchin diver who dove for over 30 years at the Farallon Islands? He filmed himself as a great white shark just came out of the gloom at literally 'point blank' range, and just bopped him on the top of the head and swam off; The man's seen hundreds of white sharks over the decades (he ended up getting bitten by one in 2017). Let's just say if that shark wanted to do some harm, it was on top of him with virtually no time to react.

[@brentwalthall9690]

You’re killin’ it. The editing is an order of magnitude ahead of other channels. Keep up the high quality content. Thank you.

[@danielbriggs1229]

You guys! Dude, I love the energy and vibe you 2 put out on your channel. It's absolutely 💯 exhilarating!! Thanks for allowing me and everyone else to be a part of this epic adventure.

[@stevenharper9066]

Very cool 😎👙🎉🫶🏻🐟🐠

[@DougVarble]

26:11 Great thoughts🎉🎉🎉

[@johnjunior6101]

Another beautiful episode with lots of friends. The only one you still needed was Lauren so she could control that shark, the shark whisperer that she is. haha

[@wayneanderson1641]

Lauren probably knew the sharks name.😮

[@rboston33]

Adrenaline city with the tiger. Gotta say, the girls all looked great on the foilboard!

[@MegaVinny73]

Spear It Animal is Legend.

[@philipwalls4818]

I really loved this episode. It was the most literary episode yet. Buzz would have been proud. ❤

[@synergy90t]

Hot damn guys! Excellent content. The shots, the voiceovers, the background intro/outro, the editing/scene cuts... 🔥🔥🔥

[@pkane5472]

What an epic episode this was! It had everything! Wonderful. Keep on Keepin' on!

[@pjcurry88]

Great episode! I envy you all! Be safe.

[@johnmayer3433]

Excellent filming, matching music and exciting story telling. Well done guys.

[@christ.8547]

'the animaL' is without a doubt,'the sexiest boat' on the high sea's..u2 knocked it out the park...Luv u2!!...& many blessings!...(stay safe..💙😇).

[@hardstandpete]

Man, if the rest of your story is a tenth of this, then we are all in for one hell of a ride

[@farmerjimbob67]

Best episode yet fellas 👍 keep them coming !!

[@brianswift5814]

Fine speech and visual close to this episode there, guys. Loved it. Someday, soon enough, I'll provide an answer to the challenge in a far differing way. Yet, for now, a few words - suggestions - 1: Dude, you know this - check your six; always. 3-6-9 then you know where. Repeat. Took care of X & Y SitRep, there, but even on land gotta look up and down. You're a diver with a real scary reminder now. Nuff said. 2: I will be watching for it. Find the boat loan. Spear it, Animal. Never stop chasing it till you dine well. 3: Need more crazed chickens about to eat the camera. With deep regards and grins, you two, B Swift 😎🤙

[@GATORMcKLUSKYreviews]

Great quality... Love the style and use of music, fast motion and narration. It's clear why your content has excellant engagement and views. Cheers! Gator🐊

[@jonnymeyer8572]

Double check with your welder to make sure that they properly heat treated that part after the weld. The whole part needs to be heated and slowly brought back down to temperature so the stresses of the weld can be dissipated. The welding process without heat treatment can harden most metals making them actually more prone to fracture under loading, losing the parent materials original degree of flex and give (think lexan vs plate glass). Combine any of the usual voids that can occur in a weld with an overly hardened parent material and you will likely lose that weld or crack the quadrant itself. No matter what, you should probably prioritize a longer term fix for that because it may be a ticking time-bomb.

[@johnlanham9057]

It was a pretty nice bead…so, hopefully they know heat treating as well. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@drewr34skyline18]

unlike the awarded 'no.1' sailing channel.. THIS ACTUAL EPICE AWESOME SAILING CHANNEL. Is clearly the No.1 sailing channel as it's watched by actual sailors and not non boat folk preaching about raising kids on a boat. Another great episode I'd subscribe twice if I could🔥🔥⛵⛵🔥🔥🔥🔥💰💰🍻👌.

[@barroosa]

Guys, I subscribe to 100 sailing KZbin channels. I rate you guys in the top three channels I watch. When I see one of your videos come up I get excited. Well, you've just killed it. From the highest of highs to the scariest of lows and then back to just having some good fun. There is no way you can keep this quality of content up, but, please try. Thank you so very much! BTW I'm in the process of convincing my wife to buy a 40 foot catamaran and go round the world. You guys have certainly been an inspiration along the way! Thank you for what you do!!! Barret from Tampa.

[@markrvp]

I can't like this video enough! Your aerial drone footage, underwater footage, and storytelling is the absolute best of the sailing channels I watch!! So well done ❤❤

[@123Undertow]

God damn dude!! Jesus... I'm glad you're ok. That could have gone south real fast. Man... its a good reminder how small we really are in the ocean.

[@kimbreitbarth457]

Full send booyyzz!!! That was epic with all the feels. I've said it before.....your videos are next level. Wasn't sure about how you would transition from boat yard to blue seas. You guys rocked it. Love LOve LOVE IT!

[@estebanmieryteran3264]

The best ultimate sailing channel! 🤙🏻

[@loyalty0766]

Damn Brother, I have only seen two of your videos and you two are seriously now my Favorite Tubers! Brother you could narrate the hell out of a dentist visit and make it seem like the most adventurous day ever! I envy you two! Have fun, and keep looking. But I suspect you will figure out the real treasure all along will be in the adventures you have shared together!

[@johnnyheld7377]

It got to feel so good doing all that work and having it all come together and living out the dream. Excellent job! And Sasha is for sure a keeper but you already know that

[@juniorcobb5162]

I think I'm addicted to this channel?

[@davidkettell6236]

i am definitely addicted to Sasca's bikini bod

[@juniorcobb5162]

​@@davidkettell6236 I need Raff & Sascha to grow old together. If they don't make it? There's no hope for the rest of us. Those 2 go together like alcohol & pokie bowls.

[@SaltyCracker6]

Me to

[@trevorsmith8603]

I Agree with glenn! Epic shows right down to the music! Hey from Newfoundland Canada!

[@hnd450]

Easiest the most inspirational sailing channel out there

[@jonathanfunsch4754]

Damn RAF…your closing dialogue hit home brother. You see I was once you guys now I’m the other, slowly fading…..

[@colinboniface194]

Outstanding video... Trust me, if the tiger was hungry, you wouldn't have known what trust you at 60 miles an hour into oblivion... Tiger was curious is all... Happened to me with a Bronze Whaler... I made like a star fish and the bloody thing just casually turned and buggered off... Took me 10 years before I could even paddle at the beach without freaking out...

[@ronniejr1969]

That was an epic video. Great cinematics and storytelling. Love it.

[@marcjoseph1892]

Best sailing channel...no one come close

[@PiratePrincessChronicles]

Killer episode… that bon fire night was so magical. I think about it all the time ✨

[@ballomni]

Sheet to Tiller! In An Emergency with a down Auto Pilot. And using the emergency tiller.. Wind Vain steering can be setup with the emergency Tiller, and a couple of bungee cables too the Lee ward side, as the elastic, and a sheet from the main boom through a block on the windward rail, then too a half hitch on the tiller. Lots of trial an error to get it right. Not a bad idea too setup a system when you do not need it couple of cam cleats and depending on your emergency tiller how many blocks to need too make it work, but have used it has a wind vain system for years on my Cape Dory 25 in the 70’s. You can technically make it work on a wheel helm but takes more work..

[@eugenetorkelson7859]

You guys and GBU are my favorite channels and now that GBU has moved onto land you are the only ones on the water. I am looking forward to watching your journey and getting to live it through you.

[@kj5905]

GBU moved on to Matt does all the labor while Kristen worries about the color of chicken coop hinges while hoarding cats.

[@royfitzsimmons6226]

I give this video a 20 on the 10 scale. You guys are the absolute best on KZbin.

[@ST-xx9rt]

I've said it many times. Treat your life like it was designed for making the best campfire stories. Eventually you'll need your friends to back up your stories. because others will have a hard time believing all you've done. That's the real sign of success in life's adventure. You guys are well on your way

[@dobbsalexander]

Glad that Tiger didn’t decide to take a taste dawgie!! Keep the videos coming

[@dc1544]

Engine bolts. They are hardened steal and stronger than normal hardened bolts. Find longer ones so you can use more nuts and washers. I seen this on other sail boats. Once you see those start snapping look at your gears behind your steering wheel. Those usually go about the same time. Sailing Thomas went through the same thing. He had a new setup made for his auto pilot connection and even moved tings a bit to make them stronger. He ordered a new steering gear also which was much thicker than the original one.

[@garysmith1639]

IMHO your best video ever! It really made me want to be there. Also I got a real chuckle out of the chicken! Lol

[@DonaldLibbey]

I was born and raised in Hawaii and have been surfing, fishing and spearfishing most of my life. I grew up on the North Shore of Oahu in a beach house right at the world famous Banzai Pipeline surf spot! The ocean is what my life has revolved around throughout my life!! I moved to kona on the Big island of hawaii in the mid 70's, and around 1980 I made my dream a reality and had a custom Force 30 fiberglass fishing boat designed and built to my specs for commercial fishing!. Love the videos and the adventure and self sustained lifestyle you guys are living on the ocean!! When I saw the part about the tiger shark encounter, I just wanted to mention how big some of the huge tiger sharks were that I've encountered on my boat in some of the most remote areas off the big island where few boats ever would go and I'd be all by myself where some of the most incredible fishing I've ever experienced was! I noticed that the tiger shark you guys encountered was referenced for size by showing how wide across the top of it's head was. A 15 ft. tiger shark is certainly very large, but I came across a school of around 15 tiger sharks one night while at anchor, because my friend and I had caught a really big Pacific Blue Marlin between 800 and 1000 pounds! We couldn't get it in the boat even with a double block and tackle, so we tied it off the side of the boat, and began the long 1&1/2 day journey back to kona. We had to anchor the first evening, and I pretty much knew that it would likely be eaten by sharks that night. Well that's what ended up happening. But there was one at first, then a second enormous tiger shark and they were swimming right up to the transom of my boat where a light shined into the water, and just stopped on the surface behind the prop and rudder. I could reach over and touch their heads!! Back to that size reference, we'll these two tigers were so big, the top of their heads from basically one eye to the other was from my corner rod holder to the center rod holder. My 30 ft boat has a 10 ft. beam, so the top of these two huge tiger sharks measured 5 feet across, or wide!!!! They were enormous!!! Both did the same thing, and dropped just under the surface and swam from the transom towards the bow. I quickly called out to my friend and told him to carefully go up to the bow of the boat and that I would yell out when the sharks tail was equal with the transom. So I asked him, "where was the head when I called out?" He looked at me in shock and said it was at the tip of the bow!!!!! I've been diving with and doing professional underwater photography and cinematography of sharks and marine mamals for many years, working for marine biologists and national geographic and Discovery Channel. I know the marine biologists say tiger sharks max out at about 18 feet in length, but many of them recognized that people like myself who have spent most of my life at sea, are the ones who encounter and see some of the most amazing things that few have ever seen!!! Just thought you could appreciate just how big a tiger shark is that has a head 5 feet wide across the top!!!! And, yes, it wad 25-30 feet long!!!! I took a lot of pictures that night, but out of respect for the Hawaiian cultural beliefs where sharks are considered "aumakua" or family guardians, I have shared them with very few people!!! I saw 2 others that big over 25+ years commercial fishing, and they are spooky!!!! Glad you are ok!!! Really depends on how sharks are behaving, as often they are just curious and attracted to fish and blood in the water. Live the dream!!! Aloha from Hawaii D.L.

[@brianlowe753]

Didn’t get to read all comments but spear fishing always eventually will have a shark story or two and mine involved an 8 ft bull shark in gulf out of Carrabelle Florida in 45 ft of water . He came out of nowhere and had my fish stringer with 2 grouper and 6 big spiny lobster. He had what he came for and I didn’t argue with him. Love your channel and do miss spearfishing . Keep on chasing tail!

[@mikebarron5805]

The Tiger Shark definitely accomplished the "BOO" maneuver flawlessly. 😁

[@SBoots29]

Another awesome adventure. Correction on the Bears. I live in the woods and as big as they are they will also sneak up on you. Wolves are also like that but the hunt in packs with one to draw out the victim the others to pounce. Sharks, wolves and bears doing what they need to for survival. Just like humans. Cheers to you both for adventures.

[@Aphxphotog]

Absolutely LOVE the modification to the newly created ‘wheelhouse!' Efficient, provides shade/shelter, a place to power you and another space to hang. Well done Spear It Animal. Well done!

One of your best videos yet!

[@sheldonpenn1815]

Back in the 1980- 86 there was a dive shop in George Town that tuck their customers out there on a shark feeding dives. Maybe an old customer that remembers people = food

[@narrowescape81]

Solo sailor who spent 6 months there. Followed you and the Evans the whole way. You 2 are inspiring and love the content ❤

[@heatherwebster3507]

I was hoping for some GoPro footage of the shark! Long Island is no joke for sharks. I'm sure you know that though. We were literally run out of the water by a shark at Glenton's reef. We speared one fish and the next thing you know I've got a shark on me. We retreated to the shallows with coral heads all around and wouldn't you know, I look down and it was at my thigh. We kept backing up eventually onto the rocks and the thing kept coming at us all the way to very shallow water. Even our friend Presley Pinder was shocked at the behavior. What a day.

[@walterjanzen4715]

So good. I watched it twice!

[@vincelafore4281]

I love it when all of you guys hook up. I watch expedition Evans. Now all the sudden Alina is back. Last time I saw her she was across the Atlantic painting a mural. Show more of when all of you meet up. I will be heading to the other channels to see if you guys are in their video. Grate job you 2 . Keep em coming.. 🍻👍

[@snee85]

Your narration at the end of the episodes reminds me of Kenny Powers final words in every East Bound and Down episode, love it! You guys are doing great!

[@snee85]

Also hold off on having kids, don't turn into a vanilla family sailing channel please

[@edkleinstuber2119]
