Great White Shark Approaches Spear Fishermen In One of the Closest Encounters Yet

[@AninoffsMagister]

This guy is doing so much to advance what we know about GW behavior. It just goes to show, you don’t have to be a trained scientist, you just have to have passion. I’m sure many actual shark scientists watch these and it helps a Ton!! Great job bro. Keep it up!!

As far as being as scientist vs a non scientist they just observe… that’s why often commercial fishermen know more about sharks than some nerd scientist

[@alpyhaWQFwef]

Properly channeled passion into useful pursuits has an impact, no doubt, but it's important to keep in mind that edited, unverifiable digital video shared on the Internet isof little to no use in the execution of scientific research. Scientists rely on strict scientific methods and tested, calibrated, tools for data collection. Even us as viewers would do well to be critical of things we see and hear online. What was edited out or into what we watched. Was the editor completely free of any personal motiovation or bias [none of us are, of course].

I raise pigs on my heritage farm. They free range, like sharks free range. My pigs are very friendly animals... but if I have a bucket of their favorite food, or a sandwich in my pocket, I have to be very careful or the pigs could accidentally bite me, in their rush for food.

[@mutteringmale]

I once took a helicopter ride out of Galveston offshore. as I was leaning out and looking around, I noticed all the wading fishermen, many of them on the 2nd and 3rd sandbar. And circling them was between 5 and 8 sharks. Of course these idiots have these baskets that contain their bait and their caught fish, in the water. In related news, ever year one or two fishermen are lost to "riptides". In other related news, the Darwin awards are awarded, yet again to....

That one was a bit heart stopping! Luckily the fishermen worked out why your drone was there and the one on the boat got his mate out of the water!

[@raulraut299]

I was swimming in a river which was suppose to be very safe. When I got out of the water, getting dried up, I was just looking at the water. I saw a kind of a rock shaped thing which grabbed my attention, kept looking at it and a few seconds later, it moved. IT WAS A HUGE CROC. I estimated it was at least 12 to 13 feet long. I then realised that it was the same patch of water where I was swimming, away from my friends who were at the other end. I immediately ran towards others and warned them. Everybody got out soon. I thanked God that I was alive, couldn't sleep a few nights as I kept thinking why didn't he attack me, I was the easiest catch. It changed my mindset forever. I respect nature much more now and try to contribute in the least possible methods that I can.

Wow, just wow. I hope that guy takes the lesson to heart. We’re far from the top of the food chain in the water. Amazing footage, as always.

[@sharrielee911]

I beg to differ on that not being at the top of the food chain...I'm thinking if it's one on one it's a great chance of survival because you could have a spear gun a diving knife or shark repellent and at most your hands to bump it in the nose or gouge out its eyes with your fingers maybe more extreme have a gun or a stick of dynamite.. just saying we're still at the top of the food chain even in water😊

[@dreammaker9642]

Discovery channel should take notes to improve their garbage documentaries.

[@riverbankfisher]

Your ability to keep the shark and the humans in the same frame at all times illustrates your mastery of drone piloting better in this remarkable footage than in many I've seen posted in the past. Each episode you film raises the bar a few notches higher. I hate to say this but it is almost inevitable that your drone will one day record a shark predation, hopefully of a seal and not of a human being.

[@TruFrag]

IF he did film a shark attack on a person... I can only imagine the amount of knowledge researchers could gain from the recording.

[@RealDocJames]

​@TruFrag honestly believe he 100% averted one from happening here. Can't prove it but my gut tells me at a minimum that shark was getting ready to give a so called "exploratory bite "

[@roberthess3405]

More likely, the shark would have gone for the fish, if that. There is another video by Malibu Artist showing a kayak fisherman with a caught mid-size, live halibut hanging in the water to keep the catch fresh. A large GWS repeatedly comes in close to take a look, but never goes for the halibut. Of course, the kayak fisherman is clueless despite the drone's attempt to get his attention. In neither video does the shark display fast movements or any other aggressive behavior, which surprises me given that in both cases there is actually live bait in the water. I think it goes to show that GWSs aren't nearly as gung-ho about getting a free meal, much less attacking people, as we are led to believe by mainstream media. It's not that they are not hungry. They are. But they are generally very careful predators. Hence also the usual test bite (which minimizes the shark's injury potential by avoiding an unnecessary struggle with the prey item, usually a seal or seal lion) There is one caveat, however: Some accounts suggest that GWS behavior may be quite different - less benign - in other places, such as South Africa or Australia. Southern California could be an outlier. If so, the obvious question is why. Maybe, one day, Malibu Artist will have a chance to study GWS behavior with his drone in other localities to see whether there are any observable differences.

[@garyoak2974]

@roberthess3405 yoh the gws got chased out of south Africa by whales last I heard haha.

[@Real_MisterSir]

"Swimming next to your day's catch may just turn you into somebody else's day's catch" Amazing footage as always, and highlighting the multiple factors at play in such encounters is educational beyond what most biology channels have been able to do

[@scroopynooperz9051]

swimming next to your catch in open water is just about the stupidest think you can do. that dude is lucky he didnt lose a leg or worse. Seems pretty common sense stuff to NOT do something that dumb, but common sense just doesnt seem to be that common these days lol The sad part is if it all went down, the shark would be seen as the villain here (and probably killed), for taking out an innocent dude just dangling next to his boat

There are 2 GWS that swim together the majority of the time called ‘the twins’. They are both male and almost identical as twin brothers would be. The are fascinating to watch and you can look to find some footage of them and how they live their shared lives. Not only was the shark interested in the struggling fish but also the motor and blades send off electric currents that make their ampuli of Lorenzini react and freak out. It’s kinda dumb to float around your motor and catch of the day in a full black, seal-looking wet suit. Thanks again for the great videos. *the shark brother video is by Andy Casagrande for Discovery, 4 years ago in Australia.

All three in Carpinteria, Ca. We used to spear fish a lot in the 80's and 90's. never saw a shark bigger than 5 feet mostly leopard sharks. I have seen 2 big great whites breach off the coast of Ventura maybe 200 yards out near the harbor entrance.

Today, I saw a shark near Red Reef Park in Boca Raton. The water was calm, so as a keen swimmer, I went a bit deeper than usual, to about 5 feet deep. The shark was brownish in color and around 2 feet long. It swam deep close to the sand. I screamed BABY SHARK!!! and swam to the shore - as if that would have made a difference had the shark wanted anything with me. Now, I've been researching about sharks all day. This is the best videoI’ve seen yet. I can’t get over the fact that I came this close to a shark and from all the research I’ve done, I’ve come to the conclusion that they have been unfairly portrayed as villains.

Actually they're social creatures that even sometimes hunt in pairs and share food. They aren't always solitary. That's a really good capture, very educational. I hope those men realise eventually.
