- Опубликовано: 25 июн 2017
- Could this finally be the ultimate British shark story? Where a Great White shark is patrolling the shallow waters and estuaries of Britain's South coast. The Totally Awesome Fishing Show has been aware of the shark for two years, and have been trying to film and tag it. Here are some of the interviews from people who might convince you that there really is a monster shark out there.

Listen for the cello, that usually gives them away.
Not always. No cello when Brody is chumming. Sneaky buggers. 😉
I know that several folks have swam the English channel and they claim that they are more worried about jellyfish. I'd still never think about going in there. Just because you don't see them, doesn't mean they're not around!
I'll take my chances with the jelly fish rather than a huge great white shark
It's a common myth that great whites love warm water. In fact they spend most of their lives in water very similar to what we see around the UK. It's likely that some great whites make their way to parts of Scotland, Ireland and the UK south coast. It's not impossible and in fact it's more of a question as to why don't we see more great whites? we have ideal conditions and food supply for them.
Exactly!
Polluted uk water ?
rooster booster
Is not that bad?
Pin yeah agree completely , I swear we have makos as well
Charlie Browm we do have makos someone I was shark fishing with cuaght a small one out of Cornwall.
Of course there are white pointers in UK waters...
1) There is a resident seal population
2) There are large schools of fish
3) Water is rich in nutrients and cold
4) The med is a breeding ground for whites.
5) They like to hug coasts in their migratory paths
In my eyes, that is the mix that you need. I live in Australia and am Portuguese, and have done enough research to identify white sharks even in Portugal. One quick swim up the coast your in north Spain, another stretch your between France and UK. Totally feasible.
It was most likely my ex wife,she swims down at eastney quite regularly,if you do spot her APPROACH WITH CAUTION
But in all seriousness though,it’s completely viable that we in the uk have the odd great white shark enter our water territory,warmer waters,food chain,and the fact great whites are solitary and often get lost and end up in different coastlines
Hilarious....
Someone needs to get a drone up when its spotted....
used to work on a beamer, out of Newlyn, we all saw a massive shark one night, at least 15 foot , I'm totally convinced it was a Great White, 11 miles off lands end
@ Chris,I'm in Cornwall I remember going back years now,the time a Great White was spotted in Padstow waters by fishermen and at the same time a diver went missing the body was never found ..
Yeah, its totally plausible that great whites venture into British waters, especially in the south. They generally live in coastal waters with water temperatures ranging from 12 to 24 degrees, Cornwall has an average summer sea temperature of 18 degrees, and along with its high seal population would make a ideal habitat for white sharks. So I do believe that great white sharks do visit British waters during the warmer months.
I believe anyone who thinks they saw 1 or did see one... why would people make up seeing 1?? Only the disbelievers disbelieve... sharks especially gw... im sure have been in uk waters.. if there's seals theres sharks... great whites... probably only a handful
I saw a massive shark in Gwavas Lake whilst I was on the Scillonian.
@@richardjamesclemo6235 I've been on that ship out of Penzance several times in summer and have seen literally hundreds of big basking sharks, one even swam into the side of the ship once, but I've never seen anything I thought was a great white, and I've seen a great white in Australia.
Great whites are prevalent in very cold waters, they have the unique ability to keep their body temps up.
I live on the east coast in Great Yarmouth and we have a massive population of seals and pups, only a few years ago there was a seal washed up with a chunk bitten out of it, the bite was massive, there is no way that was a small shark....makes you think.
They will be there, but in nowhere near the abundance of other places on the same lattitude where they are common. It will only be a matter of time before one is caught or positively identified in UK waters.
i was abouth to say this if i am correct they are 6 to 7 celcius above the water temp they swim in and they dont ley egs they give birth
I'm from Adelaide, South Australia and where there are seals there's sharks. White Sharks love flat water like that also. Funnily they are frightened of Killer Whales. We have a White Shark cage diving experience on our West Coast where sightings are very common. A large pod of Killer Whales came through and scared all the big Whites away for several weeks!
There is a pod of killer whales of the west coast of the us which actively hunt great whites and they all leave the area!!
ORCAS, N O T WHALES. DOLPHINS
Lots of seals around the UK and ideal chalk cloudy hunting waters but the sea temp has historically been a bit low for great whites but obviously with climate change that’s changing and more are being spotted here.
I♥orcas
@@honeybadger9425the climate always changes. C02 is not causing it. Just a political agenda.
Where there are seals there’s always a chance of a Great White.
Graeme, I’m planning an Expedition looking for GWS’s in British seas. Would be great to speak with you about this, 3 years on! All the best, Matt
This subject fascinates me. I’ve probably watched and read every piece of media out there on this. Keep doing what you do. Love your stuff 👍.
i spotted a shark 2 seasons ago sea-trout fishing in strangford lough convinced it was a gws, numerous reports over the years of washed up seals biten in half, with the strongest tidal pull in the uk we have mako orcas and the odd basking shark i often wonder what moves in and out of the sea-lough
Fancy seeing you here 🤣😂👨🚒👩🚒✌️💯
I am an avid shark lover, these creatures fascinate me! Would love the chance to be apart of your expedition, I hear from you that Ocearch are coming to the UK as well! :) very exciting
Shame you've not had acknowledgement. Also, if the net was destroyed why not get DNA from it...
I wouldn't be surprised. With the change of migrations of baitfish, the bigger fish and top predators follow. Here in New York if the water's right and the bait follows, we can catch yellowfin as close as 20 miles offshore
A mission for Jeremy Wade
I'd pay money to see that.
He'll hook up a tyre lol
Duh 🙄 Jeremy needs. To get back here and do some shark fishing!
I'd pay good money to watch Jeremy investigate
Or John Wilson if any1 can het him back from thyland
There has been many sightings of great whites in UK waters and very probable they are predating on the seals that since protected are in abundance. One tagged female great white (named Nicole) crossed the ocean from South Africa to Australia and back again traveling 20,000 kilometres, so we know they roam in search of prey, they can raise their internal temperature above that of colder waters so they are very likely there.
Probably porbeagles cousin of the great white, found in British waters
@@carolewalls3615 hello Carole, yes I understand that porbeagles, thresher, blue, short fined mako are the larger predatory sharks found in UK waters but I was reasoning that with the great white numbers rising because of the ban on killing them and because UK waters are again clean and healthy the fish numbers have increased which in turn brought back large seal colony numbers the great whites would naturally turn up where there is an abundance of prey.
The water temp should not matter as great whites are found in the Mediterranean (a fact I did not know when I used to holiday in Italy and Greece) and then there was an attack on a diver at Campbell Island 660 klms south of Dunedin NZ so they do live in colder waters.
Waw! That was a big reply, sorry about going on there 😄
In Cornwall there has been Great White for years as well as blue and basking Sharks
To my mates in the UK from Australia,you can have some of ours if you want.
david johnston 😂😂😂🇬🇧
Nao thanks! ( Bennett, Commando)
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wouldn't mind, they're not that agressive towards humans
Nty xD
best fishing youtube channel ever
crazy TCG well you haven't seen much then 😄😄
Good to hear an articulate explanation from someone who’s life is spent making a living from the sea.
That's the most interesting thing I've seen in ages... captivating interviews from an environment I know well. An excellent piece and nice to see the British sea industry in a bit of truthful reflection on just how much the world isn't necessarily as is currently written. A shark attack is a rare thing, but the truth is probably rarer sometimes. Nice job.
It's very possible a GW would be in Britain. Waters are getting very warm in summer, and we have the most dense seal population for their food. Also, many extremely closely related sharks, such as the porbeagle already live here. There is no reason for a GW not to be here!
A Great White was seen at Padstow some time back. I was surfing & living in Newquay at the time. They are definitely around the UK.. & have been for a while. 🏄
And looe
I've seen one at St Ives with a mermaid sat on its back
@@idlewild073 I saw a large shark west of Looe Island about 2 years ago. It was swimming along a rocky shelf just metres from shore. I was anchored there in my yacht and walking on the beach at the time. Immediately got in my dinghy to try and find it but never saw it again. Lots of seals on Looe Island.
What many people don't know is that the Great White ,Mako and salmon shark(all related to each other) are warm-blooded which really blows away the theory of cold blooded fish.That's why they can thrive in cold waters so well.
Great Whites thrive in cold water but not in cold climates. Britain is too intemperate
Exactly Mackerel sharks!
I spent a great deal of my life from the late sixties to the early eighties around Chichester harbour Hayling island langston and the solent, seals were not around in any numbers back then inspite of large shoals of fish But I do remember sharks driving shoals into the corner of hayling island and the Chichester bar in order to feed. The fact that there are now greater numbers of seals and that blue fin seem to be returning is more likely to be attracting the great whites than global warming. Traditionally if you find blue fin you find great whites. I would imagine back in the mid nineteenth century when Whitby was a sports fishery for blue fin ,great whites were probably found in the north sea in large numbers as well.. the advent of steam trawlers and the destruction of the herring fisheries probably saw their loss as local fauna, add in the muddying of the north sea by bottom trawling and the new larger screw driven ships and you have all the ingredients for habitat destruction. Fishermen have been reporting sightings of great whites up on the Scottish west coast for twenty years now so it would seem only natural to be finding these large predators returning to the south coast, and have most likely been there longer than we know.
They are here. We've all got a camera on our phone now. Only a matter of time before we get conclusive evidence
Awesome video,Keep it up!
I was in the Sea at Hayling at the weekend - not sure I will be getting back in. What puzzles me is that Great Whites are typically ambush hunters of seals and will hide in deep water, wait for a Seal sillouette and will launch at high speed and breach the water when impact is made. So, is the water at Langstone, Eastney, Chichester harbours deep enough for it to do this ? Seals are too fast and smart to be caught without the surprise attack. Never heard of Great Whites chasing bait fish into shallow water, not sure they have the speed to make the energy consumed worth while. Mako and Porbeagle have the right teeth and speed for catching fish, great white teeths are designed to saw big chunks of flesh from their prey. All that said if there are Seals about then that is Sharks number one food. Was there not also an incident where a load of small sharks were found stranded in chicester harbour ? What forced them there, fear of a large predator. Last point - if there is a Great White paddle boarders beware the silliouette is similar to a surf board and surfers have been mistaken by GW's in the US, SA, Australia etc etc. With modern technology surely it is possible to place some movement sensitive cameras at the harbour entrance to see what is travelling in and out ?
The shark that chased the bait fish into shallow water was probably a Thresher Shark. Once in shallow water, uses its long tail to stun its prey which it can then eat at its leisure.
Longfin or Sortfin Mako Shark. They can get to 10-12ft and are very quick. They also at distance look like white sharks and Mako's are known to frequent our waters.
Mako did some fatal attacks on human in the red sea
Always a chance of a white, one with a GPS tag was found to be off the coast of Devon
The man regularly catches baby Mako sharks, I'm sure he could recognise a large one.
No they dont look like a great white at all.
He knows he local sharks he keeps saying it was thicker set. Makos are relatively slender
4-5yrs ago we had a great white up in the firth of forth.. also pod of orcas.. there's thousands of seals in the forth so plenty of feeding.. there is a pod of minkie whales that are appearing annually ..kinghorn photos page on Facebook has pics.
very interesting, this video is probably gonna be pretty big! good job greame and mike!
Another interesting video chaps. Thank you xx
I personally think the UK and/or Ireland is a pupping location. Someone needs to study the years of the sightings, if there's a pattern of sightings every other year. It could easily be a female as their migration is longer compared to males. The food sources are here for both juveniles and adults, I think the only thing that might prevent them are orca.
I Only found this channel after Mike mentioned it in his latest vid on TA Outdoors!!!! subbed
“Well this is not a boat accident! and it wasn’t any propeller, and it wasn’t any coral reef, and it wasn’t Jack the Ripper! It was a shark!
This was 2017. Any developments since then?
no doubt in my mind now, hearing these interviews. have been thinking its possible for a while now. imagine if graeme or wayne hook into one of these! i can see the headlines now. its gonna be shark fever!!! great vid! cheers chris :)
Id quite easily believe it graham, last year id been playing a tope for 5 mins then thought id lost it ..only to reel in half a tope . Definitely things out there we don't expect.
Porbeagle most likely.
Very interesting film , as the fisherman say's plenty orcas hunting seals up here in Scotland, on the east coast I've seen the twice this year all be it far out on the water, and a great white has been spotted around shetland, as per film on you tube, keep up the good work. looking forward to your next film.
great vid keep the great work up love the vids
Here on the west coast of Scotland a few years ago we were catching all sorts of visitors coming in off the gulf stream, we already have pods of Orcas, trigger fish were turning up in shore matches. I remember seeing a large grey seal lying on the shore of the Ailsa Craig that had been halved, maybe an Orca had hit it or maybe a big shark, the Craig has a huge colony of seals.
I enjoyed your video :)
Please do a video about newly born carp and tench fresh from the spawn, they are ever so pretty fish that small. Keep the videos coming guys, no one can replace or rival the TAF :)
Migratory patterns are proven with South African GWhites being tracked travelling to western Australia.
The most northerly caught GWhite was off the coast of Iceland.
The North Sea coast is home to massive seal colonies,a perfect food source for GWhites so perhaps they're in the North sea.
it has been proven that there is great white sharks in UK waters. there was an attack on a grey seal in the bristol channel back in 2007 that was confirmed by an australian shark expert. i read about this back in 2010 in an australian fishing magazine.
Wow will read about it
I understand the south coast of England is very similar in climate to Cape Cod and Martha's vineyard, where Jaws was filmed and a known Great White hotspot. So I'd be inclined to think seeing one is likely as opposed to just possible!
Sharks can go where ever they want. They like cold water with seals.
Technically they can't go in artic waters
@@spiritvtechreviews5294 Technically, they can, and have been found regularly in waters within the Arctic circle. Well documented.
Omg, this is incredible! I literally live minutes away from Hayling Island, Hampshire 😮😮😮😀😀😀
OMG a shark in Britain sounds scary thank god I live in Western Australia!!!✌🏻🤣🦈
Ha ha ha your sooooi funnny lol x
Spent most of my spare time around the British coast from Cornwall, Wales and all around Scotland and never seen a shark of any species other than lots of Basking Sharks, I spent one week in Margaret River WA and saw a GWS. I do believe they are in British waters but the chances of seeing one are extremely remote.
Gonna need a bigger dingy.
Anyone that disagrees needs a check up from the neck up. There’s no tolls or barriers or check points. It doesn’t need a passport. Sea life goes where it wants.
Best comment I have seen on this film. Well said.
They are seen often off the coast of North Wales, it's crazy to think there isn't any in our waters,they are not common in Jamaica but you do see them now and again,and they actually prefer the water to be a little cooler than what most people believe
Guess what?
Britain is an island in the North Atlantic.
Therefore, surrounded by THE SEA.
And guess what else? Sharks live in the sea.
I am scared to go diving now
As soon as I saw the photo that accompanies the video I knew straight away it was Hayling Island, we used to fish in that exact spot for Bass, Mullet, and Plaice off the shore with Chichester harbour right across the water, keep going round and there's a sailing club/marina, keep going round (to the left, not sure wether it's N, E, S, or W) and you come to another marina and a creek, bit further along was the caravan park we used to have our holiday caravan in, great place, thanks for the memories ! But Great Whites off Hayling ??? WOW !!!
I read an account from I believe the 1800's where it recounted a shark attack fatality in Scotland. I can't remember what book it was from but reading the details (taken from newspaper reports of the time) it sounded like a GWS
Jeff Ebdy there’s a photo in a fishing museum in Anstruther fife of a killer whale that got landed, it’s mighty ald tho
hope you catch it Graham, that will be totally awesome
I always wondered what happened to the other chuckle brother
It's funny that the guy in an 8 ton JCB was scared the shark would come out of the water and assault him inside the cab of his machine but it's understandable that the sight of a big fin would put the wind up anyone.
He goes for a paddle after lunch
The first time I saw the large fin of a basking shark go by the hairs on the back of my neck stood up, until I realised what it actually was, but still great to see. It was off Iona, Scotland.
I have been on holiday multiple times to hayling island and although i have never seen a shark here i have seen very strange behaviour by seals. 1 time a seal jumped into my kayak and refused to get out for about 45 seconds. It was clearly very scared by something in the water [more so than me trying to get it out of the kayak]. I have heard many similar stories around seal behaviour and a few "I think i saw something" stories from other people kayaking and paddle boarding around the island. Some thing to this i think!
Must have been a Great white shark
I cannot believe you got the frightened seal out of your boat when it was trying to save itself! Why did you not leave it in your safe haven until it was safe for him!?😢
"It's a 20 footer"
"25"
"3 tons of him"
He Can't Go Down With Three Barrels On Him, Not With Three He Can't
Smile you son of a bitch
Gunna need a big boat
This shark will swallow you whole, little shaking, tenderising, down you go.
Lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes
Great video.
Going fishing for porbeagle off the rocks in Ireland this summer, there's blues'there too, they've been caught back in the 60's and nobody's been trying since 👍👍👍
Good luck with it ,if you don't try you will never know. Hopefully you get some decent summer weather.
Great White's are off the shores of UK waters. I have dived in Australia, Africa and UK for the Whites. They hunt in packs, over a large distance. Africa are packed pact out with them. Hard to spot and find in Australia but they abundently there. I have seen them off the coast of Scotland, South Wales (Gower - Pembroke), Cornwall / the south coast of England. It has nothing to do with warm waters. It is about the food chain, seals, whales, etc. Good luck with your search. Right time and place and you'll get one.
Nigel Evs south wales?? Really?!
Hunt in packs????
fishermans tales always reliable,
Graeme Pullen was mentioned on BBC radio Kent today..
Great vid👍
The gulf strem comes up the coast of Britain and it branch's at the channel comes into the north sea. A tiger shark was washed up on the beach and it had ahuge bite taken out of its side. Alot of peaple saw this. It was taken out to sea.
I see no reason why a great white could not be in U.K. Waters especially around large populations of seals. It's the same reason there seen here off Massachusetts patrolling along the shores around the seal colonies. Along the California coast too and that's in much colder waters. They have spotters along the beaches and if someone spots a large shark they close the beaches until further notice.

I can almost guarantee there are White sharks in U.K. waters. In fact, more recently there have been confirmed sightings of them. Last month, there was a woman that was attacked and killed by a Great White in a small harbor in Maine , USA.
Graeme, you are going to need a bigger boat !
Yes it's true the largest great whites were found off the whaling stations around the Azores and one of the closest relations the salmon shark is caught of northern Canada .But to be honest I was full time fisherman, long lining around the far west of Cornwall for some years and have never heard of or seen a great white being caught, as well as In the winter you used to get 100 plus hand liners on mackerel creating what must be one hell of a scent trail .I think what our friend saw was a large mako, a shark that was unknown around the uk until the 1950s ,but the present rod caught record is over 500 pounds although it is a very rare fish and many people claim to have seen one but very few have. As for tuna ,a lot of very rich anglers used to follow the herring boats in the 1920s and if I remember rightly we held the world rod caught record for a time at over 850 pounds ,and so it's possible that they are still around.Yes there could be great whites around the uk ,but if there are they are very,very,very rare, but like all things at sea anything is possible.
To be fair though mate great white sharks weren't known to places like Russia and Hawaii until fairly recently,I think theres so little known about the white shark population in the northeast Atlantic in general but there have been recordings in the bay of Biscay including la Rochelle,so you've fished waters just a few miles from a RECORDED sighting 😉
I know of at least one off the coast of Devon that although not seen a GPS tag put it in that location
There is a large shark that keeps coming back to the area of coast off Twyyn in West Wales. In September 2019, off the mouth of the Dysinni Estuary we also saw panicked seals and a large shark fin. When I say large I mean large! Various yak fisherman have stopped fishing the coast there because of the sightings,and although loads of tope are pulled out here, they all have said this has to be a white shark. The RNLI at Aberdovey are convinced they are being visited year round by them! You should check it out. Sitings last year started in May.
That's interesting..the camera batteries are being charged !!
@@TAFishing Yep it is, I fish it spring through to October lure fishing and last year was the first time I had seen this. Loads of fisherman have seen fins close in, I'm surprised you've not heard about Tywyn to be fair. One day soon fingers crossed we will get a white shark confirmed in our waters.
There's plenty of porbeagles and the odd mako round there which would certainly spook seals,why does everything have to. Be a great white lol
@@rawdog314 I am well versed in Sharks from my study at Aber Uni, and I can assure you that this was no mako or porbeagle because of the shape and size of the fin.
@@American.RivieraOrchard it wouldn't surprise me tbh you got to admit though as soon as people get a glimpse of a fin they think great white,seen a RUclips video down in Pembrokeshire with a fella videoing a shark whilst fishing that is clearly a basking shark and yet there's people trying to convince themselves it's a great white.
nice video grahame 😃
Great video and another example of the widening migration of Great Whites.
What is there to stop them coming? The water is warm enough and there is no barrier.
Certainly not immigration laws!
I've always believed in there being Great Whites here in the UK and hope that this is true, especially as I'm not far from this area. I know a Salcombe fisherman that runs three boats and believes they are about. What I do hope though is that not every bozo goes out to try and catch it. It has to be remembered that they are a protected species now and should be tagged catch and release. I have zero respect for anyone that kills such a beautiful creature. The Sea is their home and not ours. Jaws always gets bad press for giving people a hatred of Sharks, but on the contrary I've known many people that have got into them because of the film. I love Sharks and Jaws. 🦈
Sean Barriskill i agree totally jaws is my favorite film of all time ignited my passion for great whites and sharks in general. My 2 favourite species are wolves and shark and they are ironically the 2 most misunderstood and persecuted species on earth. We need to do more for conservation, through education and preservation.
It's an ocean. Of course their there.
Somone gona take me fishin please im serious. Come on pete williams i catch u a moby n play with...on your.. ride the
See then it offed up the loon try eat me😮😢
@Denise Bond until you got JAWS ache ha ha ha x
Aberdeen 11.1, Blackpool 15, Brighton 15, Falmouth 16.1, Newquay 16.1 These are current temperatures around Britain at this time of year. A Great White frequents water in the temperature range of 12-24 degrees. We have a massive population of seals which are the sharks main diet. "Taken from Wikipedia":- Great white sharks live in almost all coastal and offshore waters which have water temperature between 12 and 24 °C (54 and 75 °F), with greater concentrations in the United States (Northeast and California), South Africa, Japan, Oceania, Chile, and the Mediterranean. As far as I'm concerned the only reason people don't believe they are there is because they haven't seen one. There have been sightings and people are still sceptical?
Well the do live but they r often between 64°to 68°.... west australia south africa and mexico bay...
last time i was this early this guys jokes were funny
I believe that theres been great whites down on the dorset coast
ny update on this been waiting
Great Whites are generally timid and shy. They can also be playful, jumping out of the water like dolphins. Beautiful animals. Please respect them.
You crazy bro.. nothing timorous whatsoever about these man eaters lmfao
Really interesting film, I’ve always wondered why we shouldn’t have great whites in UK waters. There’s plenty of food here for them.
I thought you guys were course fisherman, good job chaps
Was there any further findings on these sightings?
Spend some time on the north west coast of Wales and you will see them,people have to be stupid not to believe they are in our waters!
Ok Mr Pullen please this summer go after this shark what a video this would be!! I'm sceptical about it but deep down I want it to be true
6 years on and 2 sand tiger sharks have washed up on our shores. Chances are this was one of these.
I knew it.
I bloody saw one in the Thames the other day eating a big mac.
But I didn't get a chance to get out my phone and film it😣
I saw 1 eating a kfc
Fishermen's tales. To be taken with a barra -full -aa salt.
Maybe if someone can get a good photo of it I might be a little more interested... especially after spending years on the Portsmouth Lifeboat and not seen anything.
Cool video
Jumped off a speedboat out this way last year, won't be doing that again in a hurry.
J Day: wise choice.
You'd be fine doing that in great white shark infested waters off south africa, so you'll defo be fine doing it in the solent
No chance mate I’ve had the feeling they have been in the UK years that’s it never getting in the water again
@@alanwright4120 I anint ither bro
Makos can reach huge sizes also
Think a great white was caught 1922 other side of the channel off France,I'm sure I read that somewhere it had a picture of shark.
La Rochelle is the closest part of France to us where one has been caught.
Its quite possible with the warming of the seas, some years ago a great white was allegedly spotted in Padstow ..
It's a high probability that the Lobourg channel, a deep channel in the bed, in the Dover Strait's (English channel) is the main reason Great White's appear so close to the Solent/Needles deeps area's, linking cold streams in the Atlantic to the North sea, it's simple geography and geology, the abundance in bait shoals, mackerel and herring in these areas due to inshore shallow spawning and holding grounds, there-on attracting bass, cod, ray's and huss, in numbers, the staple food's of larger predators, conger,skate,shark. Probably alway's been a varied large shark patrol zone, possibly more so in year's gone by, the only thing happening here new, is that we are noticing them more (John)
im watching jaws 2 right know 😂
amazing animals.
Moron ,that was a tagged GW ,doesn't mean a non tagged one hasn't been closer you thick fuck.
Robbie Fottrell is
Robbie Fottrell Sound like my ex girlfriend.
Robbie Fottrell we are bigger then a fish.... yum yum
They're peaceful animals until your legs are in its mouth
Seems like it's going to be a fishing bonanza in this country
One of our few growth industries
I would love to go along with you!!!!! I'm fascinated by sharks.!!!!
This guy sounds very knowledgeable.. I beliv him
