Your videos mean so much to me. I’m home bound until I get my service dog in another few months and it is very difficult. Your voice and stories mean more than you know. Thanks 🙏
@@BarbieinawheelchairI’m so sorry I meant ”service dog” this will be my first one and it feels like my last best hope to have any life outside this bedroom. He/she (I don’t know yet) will help me with so many things from getting up and to bed and medicine on time to alerting heart problems to picking up stuff dropped mobility and even ptsd these dogs are incredible. I don’t know where you live but the place I’m wort with is called Educated Canines Assisting with Disabilities (ECAD) they’re in CT. The process takes years. Training a dog takes average of 1-1/2 to 2 years. They’re non profit and help fundraising they are the real deal. It is daunting I can’t lie. But if you want I can keep you posted. I know isolation. People’s lives go on fine without me as well and it is pretty crushing. But you are F$cking WORTH IT My god we need people like you and me showing that we’re not dead yet and will not give up. I’m so sorry family and friends get compassion fatigue or just don’t know how to deal with disability. I hope someday to go to schools and show people that I’m just like them regardless of my slurred speech or riding on wheels or whatever. I believe in you. Regardless of dog being a help or not you’re here so consequently you belong and I believe there is so much ahead for you you can’t believe it but it’s true. I’m sending support and hugs. It can be lonely and so painful physically and emotionally. It isn’t for the faint of heart. Stay strong. I believe in you❤
Hi, so sorry to hear about your situation. I was paralyzed from the neck down in the 80ies. I've had 4 surgeries on my neck, and 2 very recent back surgeries. I don't know your situation, but never give up. keep your mind sharp, reach out to trusted friends and other resources. I can walk, run, and even dance now. Modern technology is amazing and improving everyday. I'm writing this to hopefully encourage you, and to let you know anything is possible, I know because I've done it. Sending you big hugs from Texas 🤗🤗🤗✊✌💖💖💖@@Barbieinawheelchair
I have the utmost respect for other surfers who are brave enough to help their injured buddies while the shark is still in water, that's awfully brave. ❤ Like your shark tooth clock behind you. 😊
There’s that dietary intake of Fiberglas. Some sharks remind me of 1950’s hoodlums. A bunch of them in leather jackets, toothpicks in their mouths, leaning against a chopped and channeled 1950 Merc. “ You can walk past us, we won’t hurt you. Your surfboard looks yummy”SNL’s land shark skit. Very funny. Hal, could you imagine if sharks could survive on land?
All of your stories with your dad would make great videos or at least some entertaining clips to throw in! I find the shark attack stories and your insight very interesting, but your personal stories always crack me up. There's not a lot to laugh about these days (in my life anyway), so I for one really appreciate when you share them.
Hey Hal thanks for your videos! I appreciate you dint sit there and coddle sharks and that they "mistake" us for something else. They bite or eat us because they want to and cause they can! Your series is amazing! 🙌🔥💯

Yeah or when people swim with sharks in controlled environments and act like sharks are friendly. Its the one shark that thinks you’re vulnerable and you don’t see that gets you.
I don’t care if some crazy loon says she’s been swimming with sharks all her life and even has one 14ft Tiger she’s known for 20 years! A bloody great tiger shark, that “comes around her boat, recognises it, and wants *contact and attention* and regularly swims around her diving ladder” - he’s waiting for the day he can get her skinny butt in his mouth and down his throat - he’s no “friend looking for a petting or a swim buddy” he’s watching his dinner fattening up - they drive me mad when they claim to know what a shark is thinking and it’s not food! What lunacy - the records are full of people like this; there should be a new award like the Darwin only it should be the Steve Irwin award, for all those “friends” of apex predators that end up dying horrible death’s due to complacency and this notion that the animal just wants to play - they do, but they call it “Patiently waitin’ on dinner” starring Crocs, Bears, Sharks, Big Cats and Snakes.
Very entertaining episode Hal, the shark attack reports are always interesting but your story of the hilarious fishing misadventures with your dad sounds like something straight out of Laurel and Hardy 😂
Thanks Hal, this was a lively one! Lots of good footage and I had to read more on Cameron Baye's attack after your description of it. Your fishing tales with your dad are a riot. I'm no stranger to Murphy's law either...🤣
We just had a fatal shark attack here in South australia on Tuesday on our West Coast in Streaky Bay between 13- 14-foot great white shark took him whole....
Great stuff Hal, thank you again for sticky with it and finding out the RUclips algorithm works. You are the man and thank you for giving us honest information about shark attacks period! I can't stand these biologists etc. going around talking about sharks don't know what we are or what they are doing. They do and we are in their environment, they know exactly what they are doing.
I Just Love your stories Hal! Thank You for your work towards this awesome Shark (Real Information) Show! Blessings and health to you and your family! ❤
😂😂😂😂😂😂. The fishing story! Only you Hal! I remember meeting your dad when we came down to see you at the nautical festival, he’s a cool dude. I can just see the two of you having this disaster of a day! Thanks for the laughs, no one tells a story like you ❤️
Thank you ! I look forward to your factual story telling! These shark attacks are horrendous, and you seem to the only gentleman who really cares that the general public knows what is really going on with these deadly shark attacks!. I will never go into any salt water bodies for swimming, I will stick with a swimming pool!!!
When you get to laughing like that it reminds me of the way my dad and I would crack up over different things. Anyway, I got a good laugh from your video tonight, thank you.
Hal, I'm glad you're back doing your shark stories and the added fishing trip story was a great bonus. I've listened to the other ones, with the change going everywhere and the time you fell in the lake lol. How about doing another show called Hal Happens 😂
thanks, Hal. sometimes i just turn on your video and it turns out to be exactly what i needed to change my mood that day. today was one of those. you’re very appreciated, please keep up the great work. thanks again, mike
Love your fishing story with your dad, you both had tons of patience that day because no way could I have dealt with problem after problem and still go fishing. Its too funny how literally every part of this trip, from the vehicle to get there, the spot, the tackle and poles, the fish, the boat, everything, I bet you were exhausted after that, I am exhausted just hearing about it!!! That trip will end up being one of the best memories between your father and you.
When I was younger, I put my boat in the water and forgot to plug it and didn’t realize until I saw water in the back of my boat, so basically I was sinking and didn’t know.
Hal your show gets better and better. I am the guy who likes Malibu Artist and I was listening to Your Channel before you had more than 100 listeners. Your vocal delivery sounds professional for sure now!.Thank you for your content! Amazing that the surfer was able to stay on the board during that first large bite! Some folks will read/listen to your soliloquy and say things like ‘a white shark wouldn’t do that’. I surfed up and down California, from Blacks beach, thru Sunset and Huntington Beach, San Onofre, Rincon, Half Moon Bay up to Santa Cruz. The reality is sharks have zero conscience. If I had the knowledge from your show back then or read it somewhere (I am sure I have being grazed by countless sharks)) I don’t think I would have continued surfing as much. Might not have being blasted by a GW during ‘70s thru 90’s but have had tons of curious dolphins surfing waves in front of me 3-6 at a time. I used to think that if there are dolphins around you you’re safe-I’ve learned since then that dolphins and sharks share the same waters and usually just ignore each other and frankly if there are dolphins in the vicinity there are also sharks just as close. The Whites are much bigger now in Southern Ca, I don’t think they compare in size to Whites around the Farralon Islands but 10-12ft white sharks are common in S. Cal now due to breeding patterns, changing ocean currents. The sheer number of drones over the ocean now enables humans to at least see them. Any shark is dangerous and unpredictable though some people attempt to predict what causes white attacks-it is not an exact science. There was even an attack by a large Hammerhead in Malibu a while ago. I love the Ocean and pretty much body surfed/surfed all along Southern California. Attempting to predict what makes a GW attack is not a good idea. No animal follows what humans think they “should” do, except if there is a grizzly around you, you’re pretty much toast.. 😊My best
Two main reasons for more white sharks in SoCal. First, more food, as seal/sea lion populations have grown. Second, white sharks have been protected for almost 30 years now. They’re living a lot longer on average and therefore more sharks are making it to breeding age. And due to declining tuna populations, sharks may be more inclined to stay near shore to hunt seals. So it’s a greater number of white sharks, possibly in a smaller area. I suspect Southern Cali was always a breeding area, but we just didn’t know it due to low white shark numbers and to the fact that there weren’t any camera drones letting us know they were there. Drones really have changed everything.
I live on the coast and work literally at/on the beach every day for a local municipality. I am also a former kayak fisherman in my younger days and former United States Coast Guardsman. Yet I can honestly say I look forward to every single one of your new videos. You definitely have a gift for presenting shark attacks in a way that almost makes you feel like you might’ve been there at the time. Please keep these wonderful stories going! 😎👍
I've been checking RUclips every day to see if you've uploaded a new video and i wake up this morning and there it is!! Brilliant!! Regards from England!!
I am finally getting ur videos popping up again! I've had to go into Google to find and watch them for like 9 months even though I've been a subscriber for over 2 years! Used to get them every other day popping up! No worries love you and ur channel and ur hilarious fishing stories!
Hal, love your show! My personal opinion as to why more “violent” attacks or predations happen more often in places like Australia and South Africa compared to the US, is because the food chain in those locations are more competitive and the sharks are less likely to get a second chance if they miss the first strike. Here in the US we have the big three: whites, bulls, and tigers, but bulls and tigers I believe are less common in California compared to the East Coast, while whites have just started making a comeback over the last 2-3 decades on the East Coast. However, in Australia there seems to be a good size population of all 3, but they also have to compete for the same or a similar food source with many other top predators like orcas, dolphins, crocodiles,other shark species, etc. more so than in the US, and they all eat each other. Plus in Australia (this goes for the Mediterranean too), tuna makes up a larger part of the white shark diet, which requires a strike hard and fast and ask questions later strategy. Since they’re less likely to get a second chance at a meal and they’re more likely to become a meal themselves, survival in Australia demands more aggressive and opportunistic behavior compared to the US. As far as South Africa goes, obviously you got all the seals in False Bay drawing a lot of great whites in, which makes it a highly competitive food chain in one tightly packed location. I think the success rate of whites on seals in False Bay is around 50%. So a 50% success rate in a tightly packed predator rich environment means animals are more likely to go hungry and be pressured to seek other food sources. I’m sure geography of the ocean floor and coral reefs in the different location plays a role too, but I don’t know enough about that to factor it in. Again, love the show!
@@mnj640 I think you may have miss understood the point I was trying to make. My point was that violent attacks in Australia and South Africa are more common compared to the US, because the food chains in Australia and South Africa have more apex predators competing for food compared to the US. Crocs are certainly not the sole reason in Australia’s case. However, they are a piece of the overall puzzle, even if it is a small piece. Cheers.
Get one more guy in that boat and youre looking at a Three Stooges episode! Thanks for sharing, Hal, my dad and I never had a day like that, he has been gone for over 30 years now, enjoy your time with the Old Man.
Thanks Hal, The fishing trip sounds hilarious. I love your sense of humor and your dad sounds like a real McGyver wiith no memory of what he McGyvered. It's awesome he still lives close enough to go fishing now and then. Thanks for the sharrk stories too.
Top of the line Hal.first time i made a comment to yah ,but i've been fowwowing you for a few years.I try not to durning the summer..lol..i live in Newfoundland and that ls the time we're on the water..lol. I feel what you are doing(your approach) is whats needed in this area.Also that you will have an IMPACT on the future on shark reasearch. Thanks Amegio...real nice commentary ,story telling..AND reasearch
haha dude I always have to laugh at your stories. I would go along just for a good laugh whenever you guys go out fishing. With all the little mishaps I would start to ponder whether or not I was meant to be fishing though. So good that you can still laugh and enjoy the moment as opposed to getting ticked off etc. Love ya Hal!
My last fishing trip at night involved two huge UFOs that suddenly appeared, began sparkling colors, then disappeared, and I had nearly 7 hours of missing time. That was in 1999. I will never go fishing anywhere alone again and I don`t think you could give me enough whiskey to go out in a boat at night in Louisiana again.
Being in the ocean at 9:00 am is something i can't even imagine. I'd rather be sitting at my kitchen window sipping on a hot cup of Sumatra and watching a Blue Jay eating a peanut. But i love shark stories!
Thanks for father and son story. My dad took his boys fishing all the time. We lost my dad long ago, thanks for the refreshing fun narrative! It brought back some fond memories.🙂👍
We had another shark attack fatality in South Australia 29/12/23, Khia Cowley at Ethel Beach on the Yorke Peninsula. That's 3 shark attack fatalities this year just in South Australia
Hi Hal. I figured out why I enjoy your show so much. When your in the water and see a shark fin close by,......that's REAL drama, not this artificial crap that people like do with each other. Enjoyed the story about you and your dad.
You make these shark attacks sound so exciting.... even though that makes me come off creepy! Thank you for your work Hal, it’s good to have you back. I love your fishing stories too. When you’re telling the fishing stories I picture you and dad as Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny. And yes, you are Daffy, which works well because he’s my absolute favorite Looney Toon. Th-th-th-That’s All Folks! Love from W.Nevada 🇺🇸 ☮️🍁🍂
I love your work Hal and I have a request; I'd like to see you cover the case of Willie Thomiason, a nine year old that was killed here in Vero Beach Florida in 1998 by what was thought to be a six foot tiger shark. Speaking of Vero beach, it has always been assumed here that Karen Stei was injured by a tiger shark due to the bite forensics and the presence of sea turtles.Thanks for listening and keep up the good work.
Hey Hal great to see you back again! Great laughs today with you and your dad. A couple of boobies trying to fish, but came home with nothing except a few tales or tails? Loved this episode, keep up the wonderful work!!! 💙 Sharks 🦈 happening right in front of us. 😂
Hi Hal! Good to see you and your work. I love your intro ...when the GREAT WHITE lifts his head out of the water, and eyeballs people and surroundings. Clever animal. AWESOME. 🦈
Sounds like a memorable day you had with your Dad Hal, I’d much rather come away with some laughs and memories like that than any old fish - Frankentrailer lol 😂, how did it ever end up with two completely different hubs on the thing? Great show, good to see you back in my feed again, you’ve been missed for the best part of a year - look forward to checking out your data sheet. Take care buddy, see you again soon! Happy fishing! 👍😉
It's politically incorrect I know but my son would call that fishing trailer ghetto. Like he used to call our living room chair that was propped up on a concrete block on one side but had a skirt to cover it. 😂
Love the quizzical look on the little girl's face in "To The Beach" flash photo during your presentation. Have never gone back in the water after I had to go back in to save my son's friend when a shark was beelining for him on our final body surf run of the day. Happy with all the decades in the ocean before that I am even still living.
I love the sea but I'm lucky enough to now live in Cyprus, where the last recorded shark attack was in 1901. It was also at the opposite end of the island. I STILL keep constantly aware at all times, especially when I take my mum along.
These are the slowest ever. Also, i point out that you clairvoyants cannot possibly know how a channel is doing looking at raw views. Wanna tell me how many of my views are from youtube or from impressions and how many are non impressions not counting in ctr then?
I'm saying that you just dropped a video for the first time in a long time that finally cracked 100 k views , which is a good thing. Also this video has almost 10 k views in 14 hours so I figured it was better than what has been happening with u for the last few months. (And FYI I have been watching closely, not sure why you'd assume I don't )
@@SharksHappen I can guarantee you I know more about this platform and it's functionality than you. I can tell by your age and the way you talk about it that you are just grasping at straws. I have heard and watched your videos complaining about the algorithm and you don't make sense half the time (you don't use proper terminology or reasoning) and even when you do I can easily shut down most of your arguments. You are in your motions and now ur attacking other creators (and I actually supported you) Grow the f up. I have legit gone through the same thing as you and had my revenue cut down by more than half in the last few months but I don't cry about it like you, I actually take action and make better content. I even offered to help and asked u contact me via email multiple times, you are ungrateful and don't even realize when someone is trying to help, then complain that ppl don't care. Good riddance man I'm out of this btch. P.s: I could've told u more about your channel then any data you've shown publicly up until this point. But your loss. You can continue doing this to yourself and blaming the world.
The only attack I can think of that the body was never found (in California) was Peter Savino, who was attacked and carried of in 1957 by what is suspected to have been a large great white shark, off of San Luis Obispo. Ralph Collier commented on why Cali white sharks don't seem to eat their victims: he mentioned that they're 'spoiled' by those plump elephant seals; SA and Oz (AND the Med, apparently) have seals but not huge colonies of plus size pinnipeds (it also explained why white sharks on the US West Coast are substantially heavier and bulkier than same sized white sharks 'elsewhere'), so they are more inclined to make meals out of 'targets of opportunity'. In the Med, white sharks seem to have as stomach contents, things like Tuna, Dolphins, other sharks and sea turtles.
In the Med we don't get many Great White attacks but when they do they seem to be almost always fatal. I've always wondered why. Mostly the Adriatic/former Yugoslavia & Italy/Sicily.
@@annabizaro-doo-dah Not only fatal, but in many cases, the victims were totally consumed by the shark. If ancient historians are any indication, sharks have always been around, and after shipwrecks and sea battles they just swarmed in to take advantage of any human victims they could find.
Not many tiger and bull sharks to compete with for same food source on the West Coast, so they have plenty of seals and sea lions to themselves. If they were more hungry, more people would be consumed. The whole country of Australia is surrounded by ocean with GWs, but fewer seals and lots of competition with tigers and bulls, cause them to eat a larger variety of food.
Hey Hal!!!!!!!! Good to see you my friend, I've been subscribed since around 30k. Your story telling is great, just a thought, do you have anymore long stories like Pearl Harbor? Some nights I go and listen to it just because its so entertaining.. Your stories about you and your father are hilarious, and remind me of my deceased father, he was a character. For my graduation in 1980 he bought me a car (no name) I swear I'd never seen anything like it and I'm a car enthusiast. Maybe from the1950's. This car had a push button starter, and tires like the ones you described, we called them MAYPOPS and we called the car a HOOPTIE. 😆😆😆Thanks for sharing and bringing back memories. Wishing you success in all your endeavors!!

Your vocal delivery sounds professional for sure now!.Thank you for your content! Amazing that the surfer was able to stay on the board during that first large bite!
Some folks will read/listen to your soliloquy and say things like ‘a white shark wouldn’t do that’. I surfed up and down California, from Blacks beach, thru Sunset and Huntington Beach, San Onofre, Rincon, Half Moon Bay up to Santa Cruz. The reality is sharks have zero conscience.
If I had the knowledge from your show back then or read it somewhere (I am sure I have being grazed by countless sharks)) I don’t think I would have continued surfing as much. Might not have being blasted by a GW during ‘70s thru 90’s but have had tons of curious dolphins surfing waves in front of me 3-6 at a time. I used to think that if there are dolphins around you you’re safe-I’ve learned since then that dolphins and sharks share the same waters and usually just ignore each other and frankly if there are dolphins in the vicinity there are also sharks just as close.
The Whites are much bigger now in Southern Ca, I don’t think they compare in size to Whites around the Farralon Islands but 10-12ft white sharks are common in S. Cal now due to breeding patterns, changing ocean currents.
The sheer number of drones over the ocean now enables humans to at least see them.
Any shark is dangerous and unpredictable though some people attempt to predict what causes white attacks-it is not an exact science. There was even an attack by a large Hammerhead in Malibu a while ago. I love the Ocean and pretty much body surfed/surfed all along Southern California. Attempting to predict what makes a GW attack is not a good idea. No animal follows what humans think they “should” do, except if there is a grizzly around you, you’re pretty much toast.. 😊My best
Two main reasons for more white sharks in SoCal. First, more food, as seal/sea lion populations have grown. Second, white sharks have been protected for almost 30 years now. They’re living a lot longer on average and therefore more sharks are making it to breeding age. And due to declining tuna populations, sharks may be more inclined to stay near shore to hunt seals. So it’s a greater number of white sharks, possibly in a smaller area. I suspect Southern Cali was always a breeding area, but we just didn’t know it due to low white shark numbers and to the fact that there weren’t any camera drones letting us know they were there. Drones really have changed everything.
Thank you Hal. Great information ❤
I live on the coast and work literally at/on the beach every day for a local municipality. I am also a former kayak fisherman in my younger days and former United States Coast Guardsman. Yet I can honestly say I look forward to every single one of your new videos. You definitely have a gift for presenting shark attacks in a way that almost makes you feel like you might’ve been there at the time. Please keep these wonderful stories going! 😎👍
Hi Hal. Thank You for these videos ❤
I've been checking RUclips every day to see if you've uploaded a new video and i wake up this morning and there it is!! Brilliant!! Regards from England!!
I am finally getting ur videos popping up again! I've had to go into Google to find and watch them for like 9 months even though I've been a subscriber for over 2 years! Used to get them every other day popping up! No worries love you and ur channel and ur hilarious fishing stories!
Hal, love your show!
My personal opinion as to why more “violent” attacks or predations happen more often in places like Australia and South Africa compared to the US, is because the food chain in those locations are more competitive and the sharks are less likely to get a second chance if they miss the first strike.
Here in the US we have the big three: whites, bulls, and tigers, but bulls and tigers I believe are less common in California compared to the East Coast, while whites have just started making a comeback over the last 2-3 decades on the East Coast.
However, in Australia there seems to be a good size population of all 3, but they also have to compete for the same or a similar food source with many other top predators like orcas, dolphins, crocodiles,other shark species, etc. more so than in the US, and they all eat each other. Plus in Australia (this goes for the Mediterranean too), tuna makes up a larger part of the white shark diet, which requires a strike hard and fast and ask questions later strategy. Since they’re less likely to get a second chance at a meal and they’re more likely to become a meal themselves, survival in Australia demands more aggressive and opportunistic behavior compared to the US.
As far as South Africa goes, obviously you got all the seals in False Bay drawing a lot of great whites in, which makes it a highly competitive food chain in one tightly packed location. I think the success rate of whites on seals in False Bay is around 50%. So a 50% success rate in a tightly packed predator rich environment means animals are more likely to go hungry and be pressured to seek other food sources. I’m sure geography of the ocean floor and coral reefs in the different location plays a role too, but I don’t know enough about that to factor it in.
Again, love the show!
Interesting theory! Makes sense
Crocodiles? They're only in the top of Australia the tropics. I'm in South Australia no crocs here. I'm over 3000km from them
@@mnj640 I think you may have miss understood the point I was trying to make. My point was that violent attacks in Australia and South Africa are more common compared to the US, because the food chains in Australia and South Africa have more apex predators competing for food compared to the US. Crocs are certainly not the sole reason in Australia’s case. However, they are a piece of the overall puzzle, even if it is a small piece. Cheers.
Great post and I think your theory is a really sound one.
Get one more guy in that boat and youre looking at a Three Stooges episode! Thanks for sharing, Hal, my dad and I never had a day like that, he has been gone for over 30 years now, enjoy your time with the Old Man.
That a sharks teeth are so sharp that it can do a drive-by bite into the board and not even knock The surfer off is crazy.
Agree!
Yay for a new Hal🦈 attack video!
Another great show Hal.
That whirlpool thingy sounds crazy. I wonder how often that might happen. Good to see you upload again. Thank you Hal✳️
Great show! laughed out loud when you got to the anchor. You are such a good story teller 😂
Hal you have become a soothing voice in a world of crap news....we are talking about shark attacks. Ironic!
Thanks Hal, The fishing trip sounds hilarious. I love your sense of humor and your dad sounds like a real McGyver wiith no memory of what he McGyvered. It's awesome he still lives close enough to go fishing now and then. Thanks for the sharrk stories too.
The number one channel on predatory sharks and predatory RUclips practices.
Hi Hal!!!!!!!! so very good to see you back always look forward to it. It’s always a pertinent alarm and enjoyment.
Top of the line Hal.first time i made a comment to yah ,but i've been fowwowing you for a few years.I try not to durning the summer..lol..i live in Newfoundland and that ls the time we're on the water..lol.
I feel what you are doing(your approach) is whats needed in this area.Also that you will have an IMPACT on the future on shark reasearch.
Thanks Amegio...real nice commentary ,story telling..AND reasearch
Hey Hal, a surfer lost his life last week down in South Australia 🇦🇺 to a possible White Pointer. They haven't recovered his body. Rip
😂😂😂 thankyou for sharing your fishing trip Hal, its hysterical 😂😂😂😂❤❤
A Hal Roach fishing trip!AWESOME!😂
Hal, you tell the BEST stories. So glad you’re back!
haha dude I always have to laugh at your stories. I would go along just for a good laugh whenever you guys go out fishing. With all the little mishaps I would start to ponder whether or not I was meant to be fishing though. So good that you can still laugh and enjoy the moment as opposed to getting ticked off etc. Love ya Hal!
My last fishing trip at night involved two huge UFOs that suddenly appeared, began sparkling colors, then disappeared, and I had nearly 7 hours of missing time. That was in 1999. I will never go fishing anywhere alone again and I don`t think you could give me enough whiskey to go out in a boat at night in Louisiana again.
wow dude, that's amazing
@@baneverything5580
Being in the ocean at 9:00 am is something i can't even imagine. I'd rather be sitting at my kitchen window sipping on a hot cup of Sumatra and watching a Blue Jay eating a peanut. But i love shark stories!
Another great video thanks Hal greetings from England 🇬🇧
Thanks for father and son story. My dad took his boys fishing all the time. We lost my dad long ago, thanks for the refreshing fun narrative! It brought back some fond memories.🙂👍
We had another shark attack fatality in South Australia 29/12/23, Khia Cowley at Ethel Beach on the Yorke Peninsula. That's 3 shark attack fatalities this year just in South Australia
Hi Hal. I figured out why I enjoy your show so much. When your in the water and see a shark fin close by,......that's REAL drama, not this artificial crap that people like do with each other. Enjoyed the story about you and your dad.
Fatally at "Granites" surf break in South Australia during the week 4.5m GWS Culprit - no body recovered
You make these shark attacks sound so exciting.... even though that makes me come off creepy! Thank you for your work Hal, it’s good to have you back.
I love your fishing stories too. When you’re telling the fishing stories I picture you and dad as Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny. And yes, you are Daffy, which works well because he’s my absolute favorite Looney Toon. Th-th-th-That’s All Folks!
Love from W.Nevada 🇺🇸

Hello. Good Evening Hal🦈🦈Happy Shark Saturday 🦈🦈
Great show Hal, thanks 😊
I love your work Hal and I have a request; I'd like to see you cover the case of Willie Thomiason, a nine year old that was killed here in Vero Beach Florida in 1998 by what was thought to be a six foot tiger shark. Speaking of Vero beach, it has always been assumed here that Karen Stei was injured by a tiger shark due to the bite forensics and the presence of sea turtles.Thanks for listening and keep up the good work.
Nice to see you Again Hal !!
🇺🇸
You are such a refreshing change, I love your voice and your natural delivery. Please keep coming back for us. ❤
Amazing a surfer could stay on his board after being hit hard enough to be damaged by the bite! The momentum of the shark had to be pretty heavy.
Enjoyed this episode and all your research. Especially your fishing stories, they are becoming epic! 😂
Hey Hal great to see you back again! Great laughs today with you and your dad. A couple of boobies trying to fish, but came home with nothing except a few tales or tails? Loved this episode, keep up the wonderful work!!! 💙 Sharks 🦈 happening right in front of us. 😂
Why I don't paddle board? My wife asked me so I showed her how a few of my bass lures worked she never asked me again😂😂😂😂
Great show as always, Hal
Hi Hal! Thanks for the great shark video! Especially love the story of you and your Dad's fishing trip! 😂❤ I enjoy you sooo much!
Hi Hal! Good to see you and your work. I love your intro ...when the GREAT WHITE lifts his head out of the water, and eyeballs people and surroundings. Clever animal. AWESOME. 🦈
Love your videos Hal, keep em coming!
Hey there, Hal!! I'm always looking for your shows to pop up. Good seeing you on the tube! Now, on with the show! 🦈
Thank you, Hal from South Africa 🇿🇦
Sounds like a memorable day you had with your Dad Hal, I’d much rather come away with some laughs and memories like that than any old fish - Frankentrailer lol 😂, how did it ever end up with two completely different hubs on the thing?
Great show, good to see you back in my feed again, you’ve been missed for the best part of a year - look forward to checking out your data sheet. Take care buddy, see you again soon! Happy fishing! 👍😉
It's politically incorrect I know but my son would call that fishing trailer ghetto. Like he used to call our living room chair that was propped up on a concrete block on one side but had a skirt to cover it. 😂
Awesome video Hal, great information, however you and yours dad trip made the show 😂, remain safe and keep the videos coming 👍 💥 💯 👌 ☝️
As always another banger,and LOVE the fishing story of u and your dad, good stuff!! 😂😂😊
Love your stories. They always make me smile.
Love the quizzical look on the little girl's face in "To The Beach" flash photo during your presentation. Have never gone back in the water after I had to go back in to save my son's friend when a shark was beelining for him on our final body surf run of the day. Happy with all the decades in the ocean before that I am even still living.
I love the sea but I'm lucky enough to now live in Cyprus, where the last recorded shark attack was in 1901. It was also at the opposite end of the island. I STILL keep constantly aware at all times, especially when I take my mum along.
That’s smart using your mum as a decoy 😂
😂👍@@cassiusdio6048
Excellent video Hal, as always! Loved the story at the end, lmao!
Great show Hal. At the end of the day it's all about the memories.
Glad to see the views have gotten better. Keep it up dude !
Not for me they havent. This video is tied for second in getting itself a suggested view. You never watched a thing.
These are the slowest ever. Also, i point out that you clairvoyants cannot possibly know how a channel is doing looking at raw views. Wanna tell me how many of my views are from youtube or from impressions and how many are non impressions not counting in ctr then?
I'm saying that you just dropped a video for the first time in a long time that finally cracked 100 k views , which is a good thing. Also this video has almost 10 k views in 14 hours so I figured it was better than what has been happening with u for the last few months. (And FYI I have been watching closely, not sure why you'd assume I don't )
@@SharksHappen I can guarantee you I know more about this platform and it's functionality than you. I can tell by your age and the way you talk about it that you are just grasping at straws. I have heard and watched your videos complaining about the algorithm and you don't make sense half the time (you don't use proper terminology or reasoning) and even when you do I can easily shut down most of your arguments. You are in your motions and now ur attacking other creators (and I actually supported you) Grow the f up. I have legit gone through the same thing as you and had my revenue cut down by more than half in the last few months but I don't cry about it like you, I actually take action and make better content. I even offered to help and asked u contact me via email multiple times, you are ungrateful and don't even realize when someone is trying to help, then complain that ppl don't care. Good riddance man I'm out of this btch.
P.s: I could've told u more about your channel then any data you've shown publicly up until this point. But your loss. You can continue doing this to yourself and blaming the world.
Hi Hal Happy Sunday to ya! Ty for another video….we appreciate all that u do. U have a lot of supportive Fans out here….keep the videos coming!!
I shared the water with a "juvenile" great white. That word is very misleading lol. There was nothing juvenile about it.
Can I PLEASE go fishing with you and your dad…just to watch and laugh!!! 😂😂
... good look on you!
The only attack I can think of that the body was never found (in California) was Peter Savino, who was attacked and carried of in 1957 by what is suspected to have been a large great white shark, off of San Luis Obispo.
Ralph Collier commented on why Cali white sharks don't seem to eat their victims: he mentioned that they're 'spoiled' by those plump elephant seals; SA and Oz (AND the Med, apparently) have seals but not huge colonies of plus size pinnipeds (it also explained why white sharks on the US West Coast are substantially heavier and bulkier than same sized white sharks 'elsewhere'), so they are more inclined to make meals out of 'targets of opportunity'. In the Med, white sharks seem to have as stomach contents, things like Tuna, Dolphins, other sharks and sea turtles.
In the Med we don't get many Great White attacks but when they do they seem to be almost always fatal. I've always wondered why. Mostly the Adriatic/former Yugoslavia & Italy/Sicily.
@@annabizaro-doo-dahThe wounds made by a huge great white can easily kill a person.
@@annabizaro-doo-dah Not only fatal, but in many cases, the victims were totally consumed by the shark. If ancient historians are any indication, sharks have always been around, and after shipwrecks and sea battles they just swarmed in to take advantage of any human victims they could find.
@@gyrospinup Oh I know that. But Hal was mentioning in California fatalities are quite rare as compared to Australia, say ...
Not many tiger and bull sharks to compete with for same food source on the West Coast, so they have plenty of seals and sea lions to themselves. If they were more hungry, more people would be consumed. The whole country of Australia is surrounded by ocean with GWs, but fewer seals and lots of competition with tigers and bulls, cause them to eat a larger variety of food.
Hey Hal!!!!!!!! Good to see you my friend, I've been subscribed since around 30k. Your story telling is great, just a thought, do you have anymore long stories like Pearl Harbor? Some nights I go and listen to it just because its so entertaining.. Your stories about you and your father are hilarious, and remind me of my deceased father, he was a character. For my graduation in 1980 he bought me a car (no name) I swear I'd never seen anything like it and I'm a car enthusiast. Maybe from the1950's. This car had a push button starter, and tires like the ones you described, we called them MAYPOPS and we called the car a HOOPTIE. 😆😆😆Thanks for sharing and bringing back memories. Wishing you success in all your endeavors!!
Thanks for researching, I never imagined there were so many shark attacks.
Thanks, Hal. Always interesting ... 💚💛🧡
Wuddup Hal, love your video's man. Booty booty park,sounds like my kind of place
I believe you said that clock with the shark teeth on it was a gift.. I love it 🫶👍 pretty awesome gift
