‘Please don’t attack me bro’…. To a Great White shark. possibly the most New Zealand thing ever said.
Yeah I feel bro !
That White...He ain't your bro' bro!!
Respect for not panicking bro!!💯
@ you mad bro 😂
One last RUclips video before I go to sleep, I thought... man, did I pick the wrong video for sweet dreams! Kudos to you buddy for keeping your head together in what really is the stuff of nightmares.
I just did the same thing!
Dude, the last thing in the world you needed to worry about was your language. Well handled and so glad you're safe.
I thought the candid expletives were absolutely necessary. "Fuck, no he didn't!"
To all the new people that have been pulled in for the first time by this video make sure you scroll back. If you think this was a good video you should check our some of his other adventures. Way more fish and awesome kayaking. This truly is a greay channel and content.
My biggest phobia right there. Went surfing when I was 16, laying out on my board and something smashed up underneath me, I hit something huge in the water and rolled off it as I felt it swish under me. Haven't been in the water since, I am in my 40s now. Props to you for having the balls to go back out there, I am never going back in!
I got both my legs ripped off by a tiger shark and i still went back in.
@@marcfitzhenry7581 what were u doing when it happened?
@@marcfitzhenry7581 😅 are you bodysurfing now?
Same thing happened to me, but I was launched into to air about 2meters, and clutched onto half of my board for about 40mins until I could get back to shore just waiting to be eaten.. that was my last day of surfing.
It only took me watching Jaws as a tween for me to be scared sh$tess to swim at the cottage….in northern Ontario! I’ve gone ankles deep in the ocean since and populate hotel pools, with a cocktail in hand.
Congrats Matt. I hope you're channel is monetised. You're about to get multi millions of views! Well deserved for being so calm in a terrifying situation.
I m a kayak fisherman too mate and you have lived my worse fear. Every time I get on the water I m praying not to see one. You have put things in perspective and you have acted super smartly. Dude you even gave us tips on what to do without realizing it. Loved the one about not heading towards the rocks as he might think you are a seal. you have my outmost respect for having the courage to kayak in shark infested waters in New Zealand. Hello from the UK and I will start following you buddy
it might of been better to let the shark circle a few times and then leave
@@mattdriftsis that what you'd have done?
5:34 “it can go from 0 to 100 really quick…” that, my friends, is foreshadowing 😂
😂😂😂
The commentary is gold. "I think we are going to get something huge..... I think we will get bit soon lol........if he eats me its not going to be much fun ha." Glad all ended well the road is just as dangerous as the ocean keep up the adventures.
“im sorry for the swearing but I’m shitting bricks “ DUDE ME TOO AND IM WATCHING IT THROUGH A SCREEN.
*Me too*
🤣😂🤣😂🤣👍
💯
Big kahoonas bro!!!
Insane Footage. Should send to the news and get famous hahaha
Send to news and buy boat bugger kayaks
@@pineapplesideways3820 me and the boys have boats and we catch absolutely jack mack 😂😂this dudes a legend on that yak he needs to keep showing us how its done floating on a piece of plastic i say..
Bro I was shitting bricks watching 😮but I have to be honest I was having a laugh at the same time another awesome video
Check out the views mate 100K in 15 hours .
Wow mate. That’s propa wild. I respect all u guys doin Bluewater kayak fishing. For exactly this reason. Bad enough seeing a white in a kayak, whole different deal when a white wants to “hang out” with ya in the morning. Truly awesome. Respect. 👍🍻🎯🇦🇺
"Don't eat me Bro" classic. A true fisherman, didn't even consider throwing one of your rods at it when you were looking around for something else to throw into the water to distract it.
Amen😂
💯
The bottle is like "paddle bro, get us out of here!!! Hey why are you picking me up? Omg you traitor!!!!"
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂❣️
😂😂 and when it didn't get eaten it said, 🗣️ haha , paddle faster bro 😅 now to drift to someone who will appreciate me 😒😌
I'm glad you made it, mate!
That was one of the most intense Great White Kayak interactions I've seen! I found myself holding my breath at times.
Crazy shit, and I go spearfishing by myself all the time here in Australia, but always try to keep that scenario out of my mind.
Respect, mate!
Soon on Ebay New Zealand: Fishing kayak for sale, great condition, only a few brown stains... 😅
Crazy the way out was stalking you for so long. Very happy you're safe, thankfully it was more inquisitive than aggressive. Hopefully you'll be able to look back and appreciate this wonderful and terrifying experience.
yep I'm stoked to have had the experience! but not keen on doing it again lol.
such a beautiful animal
@@NomadicKayakFishing unbelievably beautiful animals. There's a video of some Aussie spear fishermen, and their experience, check it out!
@@NomadicKayakFishing so beautiful, it can stay way the fuck away from me out on the water.lol
Contrary to popular belief White's aren't usually people eaters. Bullsharks are more inclined to have a go at you. Usually when they take a bite it's just to see what something is.
@NomadicKayakFishing 🫡
Bro... This gave me the BIGGEST backflashs since it happened to me. Except I was on my surfboard and the shark was even bigger and at all times the fin was pointed right at me. Longest 5 min of my life!! Wow, wow. This really brings back the moments.
Wow! You took that so much better than I ever could. That shark would be flossing my Converse out of its teeth right now.
5:38 0 to 100 is some pretty good foreshadowing, glad you're safe my man✌️
Bruce be following like "Matt is friend, not food"
Glad you got back safe
My son’s favourite movie😂😂
Haha this comment 🔥
🤣😂🤣🪸🐟🦈🪼
Dude, my heart was in my throat. That is my biggest fear. Pleased you are ok
The indigenous urge to turn to the Māori gods in time of peril is actually so real! 😂 glad you’re safe, brother! Keep pumping these videos out 👆🏾
Bro did u go back and pick up ur rubbish?? Maybe u should have wound ur lure in and it wouldn't have followed u? If ur just going to litter maybe u should take up a new hobby
@@NZDABRObro idk about you but I’m pretty sure most people wouldn’t go back to grab the bottle 😂.
@@NZDABROshut up you clown. What’s more important, his life or one bottle in the ocean when there’s thousands more he didn’t put there. Tell you what would create more rubbish? If it tore the kayak to pieces which he was trying to avoid. Wake up to yourself
@@NZDABROWhat’s more important, his life or one bottle in the ocean when there’s thousands more he didn’t put there. Tell you what would create more rubbish? If it tore the kayak to pieces which he was trying to avoid. Wake up to yourself
@@NZDABRO He was the lure at that point you numpty!
Ignore the keyboard hero's on here saying that you did anything wrong mate - this video was insane and after watching you for about 6 months now I want you to know you deserve all of the success this video is about to bring you! glad your safe
Using the Big Fish as life bait is sick and torture and cruel. That Boy is a shame and this content too.
@@kreterakete go back to sleep dude.
@@kreterakete you are watching the wrong content! It's just the circle of life with fish, it's eat and be eaten. Not many fish die of old age.
Crazy Matty , that’s no joke . Up side , this vid will probably go viral!! Take care bud.
Just remember my bro the camera man never dies!!! 🤟🏻😂 glad to see you are alright though keeping living the dream 🤟🏻🤟🏻
The fact you asked Tangaroa for help, shows your respect for the ocean. keep up the good videos bro, farrk that was intense though, huuuuuuuuu
Watch the video of how a Shark chases a Youth on a Kayak, and how He starts praying.
The Quran describes how, in moments of extreme fear and desperation-such as facing calamity at sea-even those who claim to be atheists or agnostics instinctively turn to God for help. This phenomenon is known in Islam as Fitrah, the innate nature of every human being to believe in Allah. However, the distractions of the world cause many to forget or deny this natural inclination.
Allah highlights this in the Quran:
"And when adversity touches you at sea, lost are [all] those you invoke except for Him. But when He delivers you to the land, you turn away [from Him]. And ever is man ungrateful." (Quran 17:67)
"When they sail in a boat, they sincerely pray to God with pure faith. But when We bring them safely to land, they start considering things equal to God." (Quran 29:65)
Some people take heed of these signs and return to faith, while others continue in their old ways. In Islam, disbelief (Kufr) is not the absence of belief but rather the act of concealing it. In times of hardship, what is hidden often becomes clear.
May Allah guide those who are sincere. Ameen.
thinking the same thing
Dude that's every kayakers worst nightmare!! Spooky stuff but what epic footage, unbelievable encounter!
it's an occupational hazard for us kayakers lol. thanks for all your awesome content bro, if you're ever in NZ I'll give you some marks. tight lines mate
I kayak and it is dangerous
Well you said you wanted a “giant fish”…. Careful what you wish for. An experience you will never forget and one that most will never want to experience. So glad you are safe and as always an amazing video.
Some of the best footage in an extremely f'd up situation. Glad you're safe mate.
Bro the almost prophetic nature of some of your phrases while starting out was crazy:
"Could be a good spot to hook into a giant fish"
"Before we drift into the abyss..."
"Been pretty quiet out here, not much activity"
"Can go from 0 to 100 out here" 😂
Dude that is freaking unreal and all caught on camera.Tangaroa knows you show respect for the sea ,,,, your voice was heard.Stay safe Matt and as always a fantastic vid✌
I kayak fished the gulf of Mexico a ton one summer and had an encounter with a 15' shark. I cut my lines and paddled the 2 miles to shore as fast as I could but what I remember most was the adrenaline like you described. Your footage is insane; glad you made it back in one piece.
Been on the water as a pro fisherman my whole life, and that was stressful for me watching, can’t imagine what it was like for you. I had some scary situations with sharks stealing fish when spearfishing, but I have never felt like I was being hunted. Gnarly bro!
Heart was in my throat my dood. For all the stress you were under you handled yourself remarkably and it's a wonder you had the presence of mind to narrate it. We got your feelings, your thoughts, and a sense of respect for the sea and the GREAT animal behind you.
Amazing stuff, well done. Glad you're okay. Great messaging.
I was in a 12ft tinny on Melville Island and a croc longer than the boat grabbed my anchor rope and started towing me around. Absolutely sh!t bricks, probably swore more than you did, and shook for the whole drive home!
Awesome video mate. Get back out there!
Lol yet another reason to keep a sharp knife ready on your belt whenever you're on a boat. Never know when you need to cut a line quickly!
Sorry seems fake without footage
@@Mma_rigo yeah mate. You got me. I love coming on RUclips and making stuff up. I feel so exposed. You muppet.
You've just renewed my interest in catching garfish off the jetty instead. That was heart pumping stuff! 😬
Unless the bastad can climb rocks I’m cool! 😂
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
That Great White was close to 5 meters! Insane!!!! Glad you're safe mate, well handled.
I hope your channel blows up from this. You handled that like a champ!
Glad your safe bro, unreal footage , you survived and now this video is gonna go viral
Bro that was insane! I could feel the intensity through the screen my bro. Glad youre safe
Sheesh that was a monster GW, that fin was huge, and had a steady pace following you.
You handled that so well 👏 🦈
Bro that was crazy. mad props for keeping it together😮
Definitely have a new follower after this epic mish.
Glad you acknowledged tangaroa in your greatest time of need.
Do it every time you enter his domain for all that dwell in it are his creations.
No fancy prayer needed just acknowledge his mana, ask for safe passage, thank him for whatever he may give you and do your best to preserve and protect all of his beauty for we are all guardians of this wonderful place.
Tena koe Matt
You have balls of steel my man, I dunno if I would of been that calm and cool you done super well mate. watch your views start pumping now bro all the best.
The fact he didn’t immediately start paddling towards the shore. Just going more and more in the ocean 😂😂😂
He explains why, if he goes towards the rocks, shark would’ve thought that he was a seal. And he was 4km from the shore and that’s where he was heading. He tells it while rowing there
Chur brother, that was intense my heart was pounding watching this. So glad you got back safe mate!!!
That was an epic watch mate, the biggest horror for any kayak fisher, glad you got it on camera - it had me on the edge the whole time. Sharks put me off live baiting from a kayak for good. Good luck man, that video is gonna blow up!
Mate, you did so well. What a tale! And you showed a great perspective on your encounter. Glad you’re safe.
8:22 "I'm out of here" with a fin behind ya LMFAO.
Thats crazy footage bro, like the movies with the fin up like that
How you kept relatively calm is insane, hope this video goes viral coz this is crazy brother
Hey brother, me and my wife have been watching your videos for awhile now and have been loving them.Always eager to see your latest ones drop Yeah this one was definatly intense.very Glad your safe brother and thank heaps for the awsome content!
Wow, mate, l started praying for you. I'm glad you held your nerve and didn't panic and head straight for land. Thanks for sharing
Well done young man, this 54 yo would have been screaming like a child. An experience of a lifetime for all watermen/women.
I hope you have posted that clip everywhere. That will go viral as hell bro. Make the most of it
yeh bro, let's think about making money when we've just nearly lost our life!! don't be a slave to money!!
@@Harley.1 no need to be a downer bro. just encouraging his success on here.
That was intense. Well done in staying in control
Absolutely insane video. Maybe the best GW footage I’ve seen in recent memory. You handled all of it like an absolute champ. Keep the videos coming.
Well done mate you really kept you head on you shoulders there.
Very well done
Brother, that was intense. You handled that situation extremely well . That stalking that was going on was a reminder of what crosses my mind now and then when im out on the yak. I tilt my hat to you , big ups for acknowledging Tangaroa .
Wow mate..... that is defiantly a step up from all the shark encounters I have had with Makos, Bronzies and Hammers.... he had you lined up and was keen to push you out of its zone....Awesome footage and good on you for keeping you cool as much as you were able.
thats so hectic, what a good capture... i was pissing myself laughing at the commentary but shit scared at the same time. brilliant, glad ur okay.
BABE HOLY SHIT WAKE UP NOMADIC KAYAK FISHING JUST UPLOADED!!!
What an experience! That was intense to watch! Thanks for posting mate and glad you are safe and well.
Omg that is amazing! Bet you wish you had an underwater camera on your kayak 😮 so glad you are ok you legend
Mate, you handled yourself brilliantly in the most frightening scenario imaginable. Well done, and very happy you are home safe.
Btw, I’d be very surprised if this doesn’t make national or even international news…expect a few calls!!
thanks for the new episode of Jaws bro. and its not even Shark Week lol Im sorry Tangaroa cant come to the phone at the moment. This is why its best to get your affiars in order before you go fishing
Insane. You did amazingly well to control yourself, you must have had an incredible survival urge to paddle like crazy to get out of there. Obviously you would likely be inciting an attack response the moment he thinks you are in flight mode but you remained as calm as possible and logical thinking saved you from being his meal. Well done with the camera work also. Incredible footage.
Dude! I thought you kept your cool amazingly. What a meeting. Makes me want to get a boat now ay lol. Cheers for the content mate. Love your work and hope you get back out asap after that amazing encounter. You did amazing brother.
Now you know what it feels like to be prey. It mite make you a little more empathetic to the fish you catch.
So, sharks get caught by humans, orca and bigger sharks, and then eaten. Does this make the shark more empathetic towards fish ??
Awesome bro. Awesome footage and glad you made it out safe. You held yourself together extremely well considering the danger 🇳🇿
That is insane, you have now become a fishing icon!
that was epic , glad you made it back safe and shared your encounter !
Dude this is something special. Make sure you get everything you deserve
5:15. Shes pretty quiet.... All them fishies was hiding. Awesome video tho mate! Just glad that one hasn't happened to me, yet.
I feel like I would have been hugging the cliff as tight as possible given the calm conditions but you handled it well.
Amazing footage. I bet you happy you got it on film.
This will have millions of views in no time. Probably a sponsor from your kayak dealers too 🤣
I was wondering that too, but I thought maybe because of the waves, it would be dangerous to potentially get thrown/pushed into the rocks?
Someone also mentioned if he headed towards the rocks, the shark could think he was a seal.
WOW! Fantastic, if totally and utterly terrifying! You did SUCH a good job of continuing to present coherently under extreme stress. What a pro! I think my swearing (and shaking) would've been MUCH worse. I tip my cap to you... Definitely one of the best young content creators I've ever seen on RUclips. You've got my sub! 👍
PS: I fished those rocks way back in the 1980s with Gary Kemsley. An awesome stretch of coastline!
Glad you survived bro now you can go back and get the bottle and have a little reunion 😂😂
Bring a bigger boat and a long azz scoop net, though... 😅
Nothing but respect mate - well handled, and relieved you are safe! Had us holding our breath that's for sure.
crazy how it followed you along your wake, he was super curious
Fair play man! You did well to keep it together! I’ve been stalked yak fishing by bulls but this would send me over the edge. Huge respect and well done for keeping yr cool and not splashing too much! Tight lines champ 🎣
we here, been waiting on it.
0:30 Fisherman begs for big fish to eat 👍 8:10 - Big fish arrives on location and fisherman begs big fish to not eat him 😂
Ocean kayak fishermen, the crazy of the crazy!
HOLY F young blood. That was intense just watching. Glad your safe. Āe tika tonu koe. Ngā mihi nui ki a Tangaroa. RESPECT!!!
One of the best youtube vids I've watched in a long time. Thanks so much dude glad you safe!
Go kayak fishing they said, it’ll be fun they said!😮😂
Dude...when the shark disappeared for a while, i was waiting for it to hit the bottom of the kayak from below at full speed, like how they hit seals from below! crazy video!!!!
Holy shit bro that was insane. As a fellow yak fisherman that’s our worst nightmare 👊🏽
I generally thought if you stayed still and adrift after spotting it, it would lose interest and running from it along with the paddle splashed kept it all the more curious. Glad your alive.
This will go viral and hopefully you can make enough to buy a bigger boat. Glad you're safe mate. All the best.
Well done Mat, on getting back to tell the tale and upload this video!! As someone local to the area, I know exactly where you were fishing and have seen this fish, or perhaps its sibling before. Could it be that "Brutus" himself has returned?
He/she was a 5m Great White and a resident to either side of the cape right up to the early 2000s and then disappeared.. Is it back? Scaling the footage, the size is right in terms of it being a mature and a 5+m fish !!
I Think you handled yourself really well mate!!
I hope this footage returns you some good money and that you continue to go fishing in your kayak and appreciate the amazing experience you had, without fear!! That fish would have gone you had it wanted to... instead it chose to herd you out of its territory..and let you know who the top dog in the hood is ;) Thanks for the upload!! Keep safe out there!!
exactly right bro. legendary shark man bloody love and respect those giants, He was just letting him now that that is his spot and he doesent want to share if that shark wanted him he wouldve flipped that yack the moment he saw it. scary situation
Great White was so curious about the kayaking, this was the big one! This video is going to be a rocket ship 🚀, I bet!
rip water bottle 2025-2025
lmao
When you get a visit from a big White it's a whole new feeling , Chief Brody nailed it .
holy bro i would kaka my pants but onother banger keep it up
Glad you made it out lol. What an amazing encounter.. But I understand that you were shitting bricks lmao. So cool you got such good footage of it lad
Fark that bro, paint that thing bright pink or something 😂
Love the name! 😂
Well handled dude. Love the fact you were calling it bro !😂
To anyone saying it was just curious….you’re correct, which is why this was very serious. Sharks don’t have hands so they explore things with their mouths. If this had occurred it’s possible you end up in the water with it. It may well investigate you further resulting in a bite. Being alone and a long way from help means you’d be in serious trouble if that occurred. You did very well and your wisdom to not head for sure probably saved you because if it felt pressured due to you escaping it wouldn’t be favourable to your situation. Same as casting stickbaits close to the shore wash when landbased to pressure kingis into a bite (which is very effective) etc. You handled the situation perfectly bro
what a video man. You have what we in America say "balls of steel"!!!!!
Great footage. 8:08 You need a bigger boat! Stay safe mate.
OMFG!! Scary Deal!! Glad You were Heard and are Safe🙏🙏
