- Holy Liftin! I was striper fishing and hooked this Great White Shark. Check out my other You Tube videos. For the doubters, the shark has been varified to be a juvenile great white shark by three biologists from these establishments - 1. The Beford Institute of Oceanography in Nova Scotia, 2. the University of New England in Massachusetts and 3. Department of Integrative Biology from the University of Guelph in Ontario.

"I don't want that" best fishing quote ever.
Ya I laughed at loud at that part 😆 lol
Thanks for your comment and please subscribe to my channel so you can check out my other videos. Cheers
typically said when you get a turtle or a snake..
The fact he wasn't dragging you all over the place, or even capsize you in that kayak just amazes me.
ya, seriously. I was thinking worst case scenario the entire video.
I think I'd have just thrown the whole pole and reel into the water.

@@tpuser42675Me too quick without question 😂😂😂😂
It’s a special fishing kayak I believe
You're gonna need a bigger boat
Best comment right there !
@@tpuser42675 I wasn't thinking a bigger boat. I was thinking he would need a bigger dip net.
Dang it!
You beat me to it and probably others too. 👍

@@meliwebber7361what happened
The flinch you gave off when you saw the shark surface is absolutely what I would've done, probably so hard I would've dropped all that gear! That baby was still big enough to do damage, at least big enough to drag you about and mess with you, so it's surprising to see how calm it was. You are a lucky man for witnessing this and for coming out unharmed!
OMG....WHAT LAKE???
@@heidireyburn6293lake my azz… that’s OCEAN baby!
Oh it was way big enough to eat him. It was mature. No it wasn't AIR JAWS lol but still big enough
Omg, so lucky to be alive 😮
@@JFlyer1973 frfr like WHY would you think a body of water with w shark in it is a lake?! I know there are freshwater sharks but most encounters are not about them.
Whew! Great job! Truly NOT the “one that got away” story. More like the “One I couldn’t cut the line fast enough”!
Glad you’re safe 😉
Or the one that didn’t eat me! Impressive he took the time to cut the line. That’s a true sportsman!
@@user-mi2rl2fz4lconsidering he’s on a small kayak no bigger than the shark… probably saved his life.

I would have temporarily lost my mind, maybe even passed out. You did one heck of a job. Kudos to you for just cutting the line. Doubt you'll miss that hook. That was an experience for both you and shark. Bet he's gonna be telling his friends the same way you shared yours. Oh, if you plan on fishing the same area, I second the need for a bigger boat.
Thanks for your comment and please subscribe to my channel so you can check out my other videos. Cheers
I would have thrown that fishing pole in the water like “you have it” and sped away. The man was like “I’ll just the cut the fishing line”. WTH. He was so calm.
Because this was all fake.
@@zognowak2842why is everything fake nowadays lol
I think the only reason he was so calm was because at the time he thought it was a porpoise, not sure if he would have been so calm if he’d realized it was a shark, and even less calm if he not only realized it was a shark but then realized it was a Great White. Personally don’t think I’d ever get on something as small as a kayak in the ocean
@@zognowak2842glad someone sees the bigger picture. either that shark was trained or he put it on his hook first THEN threw it in the water.
Exactly my thoughts!!! Here you go. YOU WIN LOL
I love the hand after the shark goes airborne!😂
RIGHT?! 😄
My hand would be like this for a week if it was me
Lol no doubt. And then the totally calm "it's a porpoise" right after.
It's like Master Chief's hand after the Covenant Pistol overheats!

I love the verbal expressions you use to describe the fish when it came close to the kayak and then how you convinced yourself so quickly after it breached that it was a porpoise. That's a fine example of verbal mindfulness to remain calm and not panic in such a scary situation.
Yes, I believe he did that on porpoise. 🐬
It was actually a white shark
@waxxiedabbers8499 Yes, it could have a lawyer. Thanks for bringing it up.
He knew when it went under him it was shark. I saw the dorsal fin very clearly in the video.
@@MexicoAdventurerI see what you did you sneaky little guy
The utter terror in his voice shows the power of these ocean beast.
He thought it was a porpoise tho
yeah that's when he decided to cut the line.
So has that shark got a hook stuck in its mouth now?
@@rebeccakirby7166 What would have been an alternative?
@andreathenotsoterrible2939 it was a question not a statement!

SO HAPPY YOU CUT THE LINE!!! THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE SHARK BEFORE LIKES OR FOLLOWERS! 👍👌🦈😍
The shark will have the hook in its mouth with the cut part of the line. I realize he had no other choice but the shark didn’t get away scot free.
I had no followers. This was my 1st video I ever posted. I never thought I would ever be a you tuber, lol. I was doing the commentary kind of as a joke to show my family and friends. Thanks for your comments and don't forget to suscribe to my channel to see my other videos :) Cheers
The hook will rust and fall out fairly quickly and there is only about 30 feet of line which should not pose a problem for it. My thought was that if I fought it, that it would probably take all my line off the reel which would be well over 200 yards of line. Then that could have been very dangerous for the life of fish. Thanks for your comments and don't forget to suscribe to my channel to see my other videos :) One is where a seagull gets wrapped in my line. I think you will enjoy that one. Cheers
0:41 is the moment he realized something's off! Hat off to how you kept your cool Rick, I highly doubt I could remain this calm in such a situation!
If I knew it was a white shark I would not have "kept my cool" lol. Thanks for the comment. Cheers
@@FishingwithRick-bw4bf no matter what you say, you are now a badass in my understanding of badasses :D cheers!
@@Nontouchable LOL, thanks for that. Cheers
he kept his cool cause he thought it was a porpoise pretty sure if he knew what he had on line on that tiny ass kayak he'd been alot more scared
better than being a bad meal at least lol

You need to contact the maker of the line you were using. That would make for some great advertising as to the strength of their line.

Wow great video! You are brave to go out there in a kayak! My son caught a massive pike in his small kayak, before he bought a fishing one. The lake is a shallow, back lake here in Eastern Ontario. It literally dragged the kayak across the lake before the line snapped. Everyone watching from the dock stood in shock. I wish he had filmed it, it was something to see!
I've been wauting fir a moment like that in my kayak. Only bass so far but a pike will be cool I'm sure.

Growing up in the East coast that is DEF something we never thought we would see in those waters! But more and more now they keep coming!

I've been in the ocean 1 time in a kayak but only right off shore. I'm to scared of sharks to go out any further and I'm too scared to fish off of something as small as a kayak. I'm so scared something will flip it. Please please please be careful out there! Great video! Thanks for sharing!! ❤
A friend of mine flew those small planes that pulled banners to advertise to the tourists. He said if you saw all the large fish he saw near the beach you would never go in the water.
You're not scared, you're smart. Only a FOOL would go out in a Kayak in the ocean.
Some people are more adventurous, or like pushing their fate, however MORE LIKELY THAN NONE this incident was a ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE , 👁️ wish it was a better video
Personally going out in the OCEAN 🌊 in a KAYAK is probably done more frequently than one might 🤔think, knowing where to go, preparation emergency 🆘 procedures , buddy system of 2- or more kayaks. 👁 am sure AMERICAN INDIANS & others did much worse w/ less technology & fairly recently have seen that ESKIMOs in ALASKAN AREA still use very interesting fishing methods for survival in the most harsh conditions 😮
@@bruceberger1569 that's how I justify still riding a motorcycle after hitting a deer in June. Hoping it is once in a lifetime experience.
How in the world did it take you that long to cut the line?!?!? I would have been all sorts of trepidation with the strength of the thing, but then when it swims under you, Im out there and then.
It's braid, not monofilament. Very strong stuff..
I was really hoping it was the over 40 inch striper that I was looking for. I had a ton of thoughts going through my mind in those few seconds after seeing it the 1st time and I ended up cutting the line at the perfect time leaving only 30 or less of line for it to deal with. If I had known it was a shark I probably would have dealt with it the same way but I wouldn't have stayed another hour to fish. Holy Liftin! Thanks for your comment and don't forget to subscribe to my channel and have a look at my other videos please. Cheers
Poor shark. I hope the hook & line doesn't hurt it.
It won't. The hook will fall out and there is only about 30 feet of line which should not hinder it at all. I too have a love for all animals which you can see if you watch my seagull video.
@@FishingwithRick-bw4bf thank you for your response. I see videos where they catch sharks to tag & release and find hooks in them. So the line won't catch on anything or tie around anything while connected to the shark ? 30 feet seems like a lot.
I was in 40 feet of water and the shark was directly below me when I cut the line. It's 1st pass was very close to me and this one was deeper because I couldn't see it. My guess is that it is between 10 to 30 feet below me so that is the amount of line it still has. No one can say with 100% certainty that the line won't hurt it but the chances would be low. I know that it had no problem taking a ton of line off my reel in a split second so had I not cut the line when I did, it may have taken off with all the line off my reel. That would have been more than 200 yards and that would have a high chance of hurting this beautiful fish. Check out my seagull video and you will see how I care for animals and don't forget to suscribe to my channel. Cheers
That was amazing! I love sharks and that was a beautiful breach--you're a lucky guy! You are also fortunate that it was a juvenile!!!
If you love sharks then you should be sad that this poor creature has to spend its entire life with a hook through its jaw or down into its stomach
@@James-ke5sx that hook will rust out in no time lol.
@James-ke5sx Agree 😔
@@James-ke5sx😂
Ya that shark definitely wont be affected by 1 hook. Especially if its not a stainless hook. It will be out of his mouth/body in no time. The fish produces enough acid mixed with the saltwater to break it down.
You knew darn well that wasnt no friggin porpoise! Just aint no way😂
He would’ve only had second to see it each time but yeah… the tail was going back and forth not up and down, you could see it as it swam under him.
I've never seen a dolphine, porpoise, white shark or a Mako shark that close before. If I knew it was a white shark why would I not say it was a shark? It is very rare to see these fish in our Canadian waters on the east coast. They are there but we hardly ever see them. This was my 1st time and hopefully my last seeing one while fishing. Cheers

That was pretty awesome. Luckily he didn’t jump out of the water when he swam under you like he did at 1:04.
That was a dolphin
What was it ??
@@1manshtshowandautobodystuf891 it’s not a dolphin, it’s a pretty big shark. Great white sharks jump out of the water just like that. Have you ever seen a dolphin jump? They don’t jump anything like that. In fact, it wouldn’t be able to jump like that as they don’t move their bodies like that, dolphins move their tail vertically for locomotion.
@@wes788411nevermind asking if they've seen a dolphin jump. I'm more curious if they even know what a dolphin looks like 😂 you can clearly tell it's a shark jumping out of water and the RUclipsr even had biologists confirm that it's a great white.

Yeah pretty epic capture but the sad part of this is. The poor shark still has a broken line and hook in it's mouth.
That is sad but had I tried to battle it, it most likel;y would have spooled me and then it would have over 200 yards of line dragging behind it instead of only about 30 feet of line. Cheers
Let’s get realistic here.. If I’ve got to make a choice on cutting the line, or fighting the shark just for the experience… I’m cutting the line 110%! I don’t care a single bit. That shark can live the rest of its life with that hook in its mouth👌🏼 it ain’t gonna hurt it, he’s got a lip ring now!😂 Great commentary!😅
Fishing hooks are designed to rust and fall away, it doesn't have much of an affect on a critter of this size.
I've seen several "hooked" sharks while scuba-diving, not a big deal.
@@MarjSpiritdove Maybe if it swallowed the hook, but they rust and fall out of their mouths pretty quickly.
It wont even notice. That hook will be gone pretty quickly

Kudos for remaining so calm! But why didn't you cut the line sooner? I think most people would have panicked and thrown the whole rod in after it swam under!

Man... if it wasn't for the tail i don't know how you would know the difference. Looking at pictures porpoise tails are horizontal (up and down movement) and great white are vertical (side to side).
We all can stop the video and analyze but porpoise seems like a really good guess. Especially if they are known to be in your area and great whites aren't.
Regardless nice on keeping your composure on a big catch.

I stopped the video with the fish in the air and could not identify it as a Great White Shark. Is there a tell to identify it as such with which I am unfamiliar? The fisherman got a much better look, so perhaps the I.D. came from him. Assuming it was a Great White, it was not a particularly big one unless you are hooked up with it while in a tiny boat, then you have to wonder who has who.
I did not know until the next day what it was. Two biologists from two differing universities confirmed that it is a juvenile great white shark. They said the real tell was the shape of the nose which is hard to see in the video unless you can go farme by frame. It looked like a whale to me in my 12 foot kayak though, lol.
The side to side s-shaped action of the body when it swam under the boat at 0:41s indicates beyond a reasonable doubt that it’s a shark(the action matches for a vertical tail-fin). A porpoise would have had to be up-and-down (horizontal tail-fin). Not too many other options for that size creature. Amazing experience, and I think I would have had to change my underwear was I in the same position. I have recently taken to kayak-fishing, but will be sticking to lakes and river estuaries for now, because of videos like these!
Man you got lucky.. that could have been much worse. Should have cut the line sooner though! It could have dragged you off the kayak with him.
The 1st time it went under the kayak I thought it was a porpoise, dolphin or a very large striped bass. I was fishing for the big bass and l only ruled out it being a large bass when it jumped. I then cut the line the 2nd time it came to my kayak which is seconds later so really I cut the line at the very best time. I never thought it was a shark and even continued fishing an hour after freeing the shark. After learning that it was a white shark my thoughts were what could have happened if I had continued to fight it and it decided to come back to the kayak a 3rd time but be aggressive. Cheers
What size hook were you using? Live lining a mack or blue out on a yak is a good way to hook a shark.
The hooks were 3/0. It works well for stripers too. I hooked another shark out there a couple days ago but it just cut the braid and was gone in a couple seconds. We were not using live bait though. I am hearing about more and more hook ups with sharks out there now from fellow striper fishermen. Thanks for your comments and please subscribe to my channel to check out my other videos. Cheers
Good composure dude! It swam straight at your yak. I would've been dead!😅
Thanks man. My composure would have been totally different had I known it was a white shark. Cheers
Hes extremely lucky that the shark didnt attack his boat!!! iv seen it happen alot!!!
I've seen that too and thought about that a lot after the fact.
To close for comfort at .41 seconds in! That Great White went ride under you thank God it didn't jump out like it did before you cut it!
You're right and I thought about that alot after learning that it was a white shark. I'd say he was just having a look at me that time and then came back for me to cut the line after the breach. I shudder to think what could have happen if I didn't cut the line and it came back a 3rd time. Cheers
Smart move dude…cutting that line👊🏻

"Suppose you fell over with this fish. Is there anything you could do? Sure. Pray. It'd be like falling out of an airplane without a parachute and hoping you'll land in a haystack. The only thing that'd save you would be God, and since He pushed you overboard in the first place, I wouldn't give a nickel for your chances." - Quint from Jaws
I agree. When your time is up it will happen and can just as easily happen while driving in your car. Cheers

Just wow! What a way to keep cool in the face of potential mayhem
