Have you ever pointed at the screen and said this when watching Shark Week on the Discovery channel?
This very thing happened to me one time, although not in this specific video.
This is a really cool close call vid from specialist kayak fisherman Mark McCracken.
His channel is entertaining escape, and I suggest inspecting it out, preference and subscribing!
Here is the original link …
Why I don't deep sea fish from a kayak anymore
I bet the shark uploaded a video too: “Why I don’t attack kayaks anymore”
Ahh
LMFAO!!!
Shark tube is getting a lot of online traffic with shark rights activist sharks campaigning against senseless paddle violence. Shark “I was just swimming by minding my own business looking to take a SMALL bite out of the human and WHACK! I get hit!” What gives?!
Hahahaha
đ
No ones going to point out the fact that this guy has a 100% hit rate lol
This guy is who you want with you playing “whack a mole” or whack a Hammerhead!!
He must be using aimbot
Cause itâs kinda easy to hit a fkin shark from 2 feet away
@Theiny74 no it’s not it called surving a shark attack
Pretty big animals to miss…
The irony. It’s a hammerhead. And then there’s this guy. Hammering him, on the head.
At least now we know why this species of sharks has flat heads!!! Poor things! đŠ
Hilarious
@xăż Ethos | EditZ ăżx Like? Like what?
Bro best comment đ
Shark got that *Uno Reverse Card*
One the most frightening things Iâve ever seen. Kayakerâs cool level: 12 out of 10.
But it’s a hammerhead, one of the least actually dangerous sharks in the world
yeah and itâs not even big enough to really do anything to him if he fell in its just after his fish
The adrenaline breathing made this into a great example of âDonât Panicâ
Well done sir
@brownjatt21 I was 5’4 and 120lbs. He’s 5’10 300(ish)lbs. I spent most of the time circling him.
With your dad I’m glad it doesn’t get violent. But it must be difficult having the cops called on your repeatedly.
@brownjatt21 oh I defended myself and swung back when I had to that night. He had don’t prison time and he’d use that to scare us into submission. I realized he’s all about fear and control. And I didn’t wanna be controlled. I also moved out on my own that night.
I commend you for being so understanding with your dad. It takes real love to stick by someone when they’re like that. You’re more loyal than most.
Yes, panic would’ve likely had him leaning hard to strike, and he’d have been lunch instead of catching lunch.
You could tell he was shitting
Kudos to this gentleman for keeping his cool throughout the whole affair!
Maybe he should have nicely explained that he was a hoomanâŠ.. sharks are very understanding
He didn’t have much choice did he, not if he wanted to get to that beach?
“Goddamm it you again? I swear this is like, the 6th time!”
See, when all is said and done: the old “hit it with a stick” maneuver is really the best idea humanity ever had đ
My sister and I were on a group moonlight canoe trip once. Ran up on what we thought was an alligator. Took turns beating it with our paddles while trying to shove off.
It was the bank.
stick still best weapon
They say humanity started when we discovered how to make fire, but we all know humanity truly evolved the day we started bashing sticks on other things.
Hammerhead vs Stick Stick 1 Hammerhead 0
I never understood why anyone did this from a kayak; your literally fishing for a bigger fish once you snag something.
Guys in Canada went sturgeon fishing from a pink inflatable flamingo last year, itâs here on YouTube somewhere, the fish towed them around the lake for a good while. Pretty wild video.
If that paddle was a harpoon this video would be called âhow I downsized my deep sea fishing operation while maintaining 100% efficiencyâ
Iâm amazed at how many people put themselves in situations like these
Because they are not only morons but assholes as well
That was def more of a young curious hammerhead than a threatening one. They rarely if ever attack, far more inquisitive than bullies. I understand why you would be scared, this one was very interested in ya, ya could see it angling itâs head so it could actually get a view of ya. Nature is wild
Agreed, thought the same thing after noticing it was a hammer head, also watch how it just swims close not âat himâ in a predatory way, purely just curious. Ppl swim with these guys, heâd prob have been fine to ignore them and paddle on. Albeit Iâd prob be scared and smacking em too lol
Maybe this Hammerhead didn’t like fishermen.
As someone from a town based off commercial fishing and a commercial fisherman myself , I’ve always thought that taking a kayak into open ocean is asking for trouble even if you took sharks out of the equation.
@Dalibor PetrĂĄĆĄ Ugh..a frightening prospect either situation
@Ella Smirnova Idk sharks are afraid of us those Dinoâs are def not
@Gunnar đâ
Agree 100%. Kayaking in sea waters even with no dangerous predators is something not to do lightly. Fishing from one is flat-out reckless imo. Even in Northern European waters where your boat/person won’t be attacked by anything you don’t want to hook something like a stingray or porbeagle.
Enter inuit kayaker …..
Itâs weird. Growing up I was always fascinated with sharks and most literature said hammerheads were a very aggressive species. But I just read the Wikipedia page and it practically says the opposite. Maybe Iâm remembering wrong? Also this guy in the kayak is a straight up warrior. Iâd have him fighting by my side any day.
This is a primarly example of “keep your head on a swivel”!!! Damn that was scary. Hammerheads are nasty SOBs when they wanna be. My heart is pounding. Glad Mark made it through that altercation!!! That was a seriously dicey situation. Wow.
There should be a warning label on kayaks that says something like…”This vessel, as seen from a submerged and underneath point of view, apparently looks just like food to giant predatory sea creatures, including but not limited to really big sharks. Such creatures are big enough, and very willing to eat this boat with you in it.”
Literally a water banana.
when your boat become tke bait
true, but Darwinism… you know. or maybe user should do a bit of research before heading to sea?
I hate to imagine dealing with this scenario in a sit-in kayak
Just imagine how differently this goes if he doesnât have those few inches between him and the water.
I donât know what I would have done in that situation, but since itâs a hammerhead shark, I think he was just curious. I donât think he was there to harm you.
