When I was a kid, my dad and I were in chest deep water (to me) jumping waves at South Padre Island when I was hammered in the gut by something very solid. Knocked the wind out of me and pushed me back in the water a couple of feet. We looked down and watched a bull shark just under the surface - much bigger than me - slowly back up, turn and disappear in a swirl of water. No teeth, just a bruised stomach and major road rash. Very lucky. Long time before I ventured back into the surf.
Wow! 😲 I don't blame you for taking a while to go back in! Something "rubbery" & firm bumped my leg on Tybee Island in about 2 ft of water and I flew for the shore (as an adult) 😅 I knew rationally it wasn't a shark b/c it had smooth skin but freaked out anyway. Probably a ray 😂
Territorial attack as 90% are, no mistaken identity or any hippy crap. They 100% mean to hurt you, just your luck if its hungry beaches should be a 2 mile kos area ,even better if they could invent a non lethal alternative. The knife with the 600psi air short looks perfect if shark seen first.
Hey last night the RN I worked with told me she was bit by a shark here in Florida in shallow water when she was younger and had to get 18 stitched. I was saying how its not safe to go in any Florida water and that's when she told me some of her story . Then I showed her your channel .❤❤❤
Thank god someone had a spear handy in that last attack. Bondi Beach seems to be really shark infested. Enjoyed all the cool footage in this. Have a great holiday weekend.
I've only seen 1 attack at bondi beach I've seen 1 5 meter GW and an 8 footer but mostly are sand tigers and hammer heads and the occasional bronze whaler that's what bit the only attack I've seen mans hand of go to Sydney Harbour you'd get attacked by bull sharks as its full of them there , but bondi beach is relatively safe as the nets seem to work at this beach ....
Bondi beach is relatively safe the only attack was by a bronze whaler that took a surfers hand I've seen a 5mtr GW and a 8ftr but it's mostly got sand tigers and hammerheads so not to dangerous and a guy swam over the 8ft GW and the GW sorta swam behind him for 20 seconds but got distracted by a school of salmon and the drone flyers had to tell the guy that a GW was under him and a large baitball of salmon but if it was the 5mter it would have been a different story , the guy who got his hand bit of by bronze whaler was the day after the Australian sas man had his leg and arm bit of in Sydney Harbour and the bondi life guards was blamed for it as the helicopter police said they told them a bullshark was in the water and it was rubbish as no shark was sighted that day so bondi bay is a safe place to swim
Glad to see you back Hal. Our livingroom is 16.5 feet long ×15.4 feet wide and I can't emagin being in the ocean where there's predators that big !!! It blows my mind that anyone would want to take a risk of being attacked by one of those monster sharks. I will never get the video of the young man in Egypt who was consumed by a tiger shark ! And the horrible brutal killing of that pregnant shark they did to her afterwards made me sick. This intire situation was horrible !! Poor young man screaming for his papa to help him. Heartbreaking for him and the poor shark. She must have really been hungry to do what she did. But people don't get that the ocean is their home, not our playground.
I love this show when I as in school and saw jaws I loved it the first thing I did was go by the back shark attack files and continued to read every book about sharks I could read thanks for your show the best ever sharks showin the world ever
We vacation in the islands quite a bit. I always google shark attack stats before I decide to go snorkeling etc… Belize, St Thomas, caymans, Antigua, yes. Bahamas, hell no! FYI I live in FL and that’s another, hell no. Only pools.
Being from Pensacola FL, ive had a few run ins wuth big bull sharks. Never was bitten, but i know folks who have been. Its rare to see them, but when you do, they let you know of their presence.
Hey Hal so happy to be watching your show today. Are you still selling merchandise for your channel? I don't think I could go diving anymore as I had a close encounter with a tiger Shark in Montego Bay Jamaica in the late 90's and I have not been diving since. Great show Hal and please keep putting out your show at least 2 a week. I just can't watch the other ones because he's so boring
Seal Rocks is at Phillip island Victoria, some massive great whites around the area.. They cruise through the Flinders/Cape Shank area on the way to Seal Rocks for a feed. Seen a couple monsters in the water out at a heavy slabbing reef break called Meanos.
Hal I get so excited when I get an alert that you have put out another video. You are the best story teller out there. Thankyou for doing the research to bring us these attacks.
Happy memorial day weekend everyone ❤ glad to see another fantastic video from Hal. I slammed my door on two fingers this morning and boy are they throbbing 😮😢 trying not to whine lol. This will take my mind other places 😊 thanks Hal
Thank you 💛 Hal for your time and energy you put into every show! Great job done today. Have a safe day and watch where you swim. People will wake up, eventually. ❤
My parents own a place in orange beach, and I swear we’ve seen more sharks than dolphins. Thankfully when you start seeing a bunch of people screaming and waving at you from the beach when you’re in the water, you know they’ve spotted a shark. 😅
Philip Island Australia is a BIG White Pointer habitat due to a large seal colony that lives there beside deep water, it is a popular tourist location for it's surfing and swimming beaches (which are not near the seals)
I was at Clearwater beach @ a decade ago with my BFF & her 3 year-old daughter. The kid was FEARLESS, & loved going into the ocean; running into the water every time I turned around. And heading into water over her head. So, I took her out into water about hip deep to me (I'm 5'7"); holding her & bouncing around... but not too far out because we were FLA natives & know about Bulls! Like most Fla beaches, the slope of the ocean bed is very shallow, so you have to go WAY out to even get to 5 feet deep. I'm looking out at the non-native, vacationers who WERE way, way out there... thinking they were idiots; and I felt something rub against the back of my leg. I caught a big shadow swim quickly sway! Definitely not one of the small fish that come closer to shore; and not a jellyfish. I've had those experiences before. Lol So... I take off for shore like a shot, carrying a screaming toddler who doesn't wanna leave the water. As I hit the shoreline, I hear people yelling out, "Look!! There's a dolphin!!" I'd never seen one come so close to shore, especially with that many people in the water. Everybody grabbed their phones to try to take some pictures of the dolphins, while I was standing on shore having an anxiety attack. Yep! That was enough & we drove back home to Tampa. 😁
maybe you’re right and maybe you’re just erring on the side of caution but it sounded like the mako shark attack was an attempt to consume. just my take on it. always love these shows. haven’t missed one yet.
Never had an experience with a shark other than the dead one I seen on sandy hook NJ, back in 91 & the ones smiling at the aquarium at Jenks Point Pleasant. 4’ dead shark washed up on the Non Lifeguard unattended beach. No clue what kind it was but it was big enough where we were like damn that could’ve hurt us…..
Hal, is this another editing blip? Around three minutes in you start talking about a guy, who was “obviously in the water”, and . . . What? You go on to say there’s no info or details. ABOUT WHAT? Did he disappear? Was his body found? 🧐
John Benson was claimed to have been surfing off Phillip Island. Beyond that, there is absolutely no information on him at all. It is a very peculiar encounter.
My question to you is this. I've heard that we are most likely to be struck by lightning than to get attacked by a shark. My guess is that we don't enter into the ocean often. How are those odds swimming every night 100 yards out? I don't buy that "better chances getting hit by lightning" saying.
I saw something very interesting a few years ago in the San Blas Islands. On our launch ride from Aubuja Island, back to the mainland called COMARCA DE KUNA YALA, we noticed some conversation taking place in the middle of the ocean. Some 5 or 6 locals were in a circle laughing and joking in their own language, just treading water. They live on those islands and swim back and forth to other islands. I wondered why they weren't afraid of sharks in this tropical shark infested Caribbean part of Panama. I can only make various guesses. I think those sharks have plenty to eat in those waters, or the sharks are familiar with these fishermen, seaman. OR I've read that they wear a hot pepper as a necklace, and the acid of the pepper disturbs the sharks' senses. Have you ever checked into that? San Blas Indians and sharks.
I looked up Bondi Beach..... "Hundreds gathered on Sydney's Bondi Beach on Sunday evening, lighting candles as the sun set, to mourn the six people killed in a knife attack in the area's Westfield shopping mall a week ago.Apr 21, 2024"
I went kayaking yesterday sand key beach. I was scared to death. Lol bullsharks are very aggressive. Hal in my head "shes out in the ocean kayaking gets attacked my w 12 foot bullshark" 😬that was the first time I went in open water in years. Here in Florida they swim in the bay to so I don't jump any docks. Ouch! Happy memorial day weekend!! ❤
Hey hal @sharkshappen or any other avid viewer, i was curious if you could point me to the video of the mafia murder where the body was dumped for sharks but they dound out through the shark attack he was murdered?
It's very peculiar that there is no information on John Benson, the surfer off Phillip Island, regarding the "alleged" GW encounter in October of 1989? If he was killed, injured or even brushed by the animal, there would absolutely be something recorded.
Thank you for a great show, though deadly is the subject. We need tobe reminded why we should never swim in the ocean, in their dinning room. No thanks, I'll stay on dry land.
I love your show, but being a surfer it’s a bit of a curse. Lately when I’m in the water I hear you in the back of my mind. So…..two weeks ago in Cabo I’m having the session of my life. Overhead waves, glassy, perfect and nobody out but me. As I was waiting for the next set, I see a huge shape 30 yds away just below the surface as a wave crested up and I did a double take. As the next wave crested up it’s unmistakable, a 10-12 foot Tiger Shark is right there, I can clearly see the markings on its side in the crystal clear water. I calmly paddled into the wave that thank god came in right then. I’m dumb enough to jump up and surf instead of just belly riding in. As I rode down the line I kept looking behind the wave, expecting to see the shark. Once on the beach I went to high ground and watched the shark patrol the lineup for 30 minutes, back and forth right where I had been surfing. I saw a guy on the beach and he said his friend had seen a shark there that same morning. Shaken up, I drove to another spot for the rest of the day where another friend told me his buddy had seen a big Tiger in that same area last year. Woke up the next morning, the waves were pumping and there was a few other surfers out at the spot. I joined them, didn’t see the shark again for the rest of the trip.
So that’s why Ocean can redirect those sharks because of the characteristic of the tiger shark. Whe they lazily come up on you and you’re aware of them and see them. Nothing magical. I still wonder if they really do recognize her and come up to see her.
We've had 1963 Rodney Fox shark attack on here, but I've just seen a pic of him with all his sutures (462 of them) in the "Daily Mail" Australia, written by Andrew Prentice 09th July 2021, in case anyone wants to see the pictures (he's lucky not to have died!!)
What's also really interesting is that Nov. 11, 1979 Kenny Doudt was attacked at Cannon Beach Oregon, he was also bit on the torso area, except Kenny was on a board. So the shark only got his back, did major damage though. Anyway point being Both bit on torso, both survived. Rodney's shark was estimated at 9 to 10 feet. Kenny's was estimated at 15 feet. It's interesting to compare similarities.
I got to see a great white tooth today that a lady found on a beach here in washington state the tip was broken of looked like it lost it after bighting something
That one attack reminds me of an attack they just went over in google, how a woman was taken and eaten whole near her friends in the water, they never knew she was gone until they were in the showers.
That poor shark, stuck forever with two metal hooks in his head..! PLEASE, just stop baiting sharks for cage diving or whatever... Stop fishing ... Stop spear-fishing.. Stop chumming... Stop treating sharks as zoo animals and fish as easy targets for human amusement....... ! And if you can't, stop being shocked when humans get hurt as a result.
The nastiest shark of all ..Great White and Tiger Sharks get all the attention but it's the Bull Shark and may I add Oceanic White Tips...Bulls have the highest testosterone levels of any shark but what's more frightening is they can live in fresh water. They'll find an outlet that leads to a river that leads to a lake. People have been attacked 1000 plus miles from the ocean

Territorial attack as 90% are, no mistaken identity or any hippy crap.

,even better if they could invent a non lethal alternative.

South Padre resident here. Totally believe this. You got lucky
I am am 60 now and I have always been interested in sharks. "Jaws" I guess sparked my interest. Great show. Entertaining as usual.

You know it's going to be a lonnng day when you're attacked by a shark at 11 o'clock in the afternoon! ;)
It's definitely a strange day when 11am is in the afternoon instead of the morning.
Possibly daylight saving ?

My question to you is this. I've heard that we are most likely to be struck by lightning than to get attacked by a shark.
My guess is that we don't enter into the ocean often. How are those odds swimming every night 100 yards out? I don't buy that "better chances getting hit by lightning" saying.
Crazy I don’t think that the attack was met for anything else other then that sounds like a territory like attack maybe she having a baby shark dodo😏
Thank you Hal.
Did you hear about the 12’ Tiger Shark caught at Jacksonville Beach, FL today (Saturday)
I saw something very interesting a few years ago in the San Blas Islands. On our launch ride from Aubuja Island, back to the mainland called COMARCA DE KUNA YALA, we noticed some conversation taking place in the middle of the ocean. Some 5 or 6 locals were in a circle laughing and joking in their own language, just treading water. They live on those islands and swim back and forth to other islands.
I wondered why they weren't afraid of sharks in this tropical shark infested Caribbean part of Panama.
I can only make various guesses. I think those sharks have plenty to eat in those waters, or the sharks are familiar with these fishermen, seaman. OR I've read that they wear a hot pepper as a necklace, and the acid of the pepper disturbs the sharks' senses. Have you ever checked into that? San Blas Indians and sharks.
I looked up Bondi Beach..... "Hundreds gathered on Sydney's Bondi Beach on Sunday evening, lighting candles as the sun set, to mourn the six people killed in a knife attack in the area's Westfield shopping mall a week ago.Apr 21, 2024"

Hey hal @sharkshappen or any other avid viewer, i was curious if you could point me to the video of the mafia murder where the body was dumped for sharks but they dound out through the shark attack he was murdered?
There’s power in numbers! It’s possible the fact the other surfers showed up May have been a slight deterrent
Hal please don't say 1989 was so long ago . I was 13 that would insinuate I am getting old
I was 19, so I feel ya
I was 11. Feel you both 😂
1989 seems like yesterday, but I was 35 that year!
Love your clock Hal❤
It's very peculiar that there is no information on John Benson, the surfer off Phillip Island, regarding the "alleged" GW encounter in October of 1989? If he was killed, injured or even brushed by the animal, there would absolutely be something recorded.
Hey hal would you ever go spear fishing ?? In a metal mesh suit 😅 i would or in those shark proof suits and a electrical shark proof tag
Shark proof suits?? No such thing mate.
11 o’clock in the afternoon huh? So right before midnight?? I think you meant 11 in the morning
Thank you for a great show, though deadly is the subject. We need tobe reminded why we should never swim in the ocean, in their dinning room. No thanks, I'll stay on dry land.
What you mean venture back 😳 never again brother never again 😂

Are you going to write a book about sharks I would read it?
Im sure theres a recordnof the shark species. Maybe the guys over at the Bondi Beach channel can look into it.
The spear fishermen probably inadvertently brought the Tiger in.
So fast bullsharks at biting the way they get 3-4 bites before the person even knows he's been bitten craziness of shark bites

could you send me a picture of you with a background of a shark with your name I’ll pay for it
EXCELLENT site ❤
Poor shark probably needed his help and they misunderstood the aggression of the shark!
I kept all my books about sharks and they are worn out
🎉❤👍

If you're interested in animal attack reports that are much better researched try when animals attack or tracking sharks instead.
The nastiest shark of all
..Great White and Tiger Sharks get all the attention but it's the Bull Shark and may I add Oceanic White Tips...Bulls have the highest testosterone levels of any shark but what's more frightening is they can live in fresh water. They'll find an outlet that leads to a river that leads to a lake. People have been attacked 1000 plus miles from the ocean
