Great White Shark Approaches Spear Fishermen In One of the Closest Encounters Yet
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июн 2024
- In this video, we examine a close encounter between spearfishermen & a curious great white shark. In one encounter, the shark gets very close to a fisherman who happens to be swimming next to his day's catch. It's a good example of understanding situations that have the potential to be dangerous if situational awareness is not considered.

These two guys just learned drone language.
"Swimming next to your day's catch is never advisable." 👍
Quote of the day.
Nor is swimming in the ocean, PERIOD. 🦈 🩸 ☠️
now you are taking it to the extreme.@@shawnalajame7888
Maybe they were mad that they were now runner up to this year's Darwin awards?
and being grateful to the drone pilot for still having an intact arm to wave thanks.
This guy is doing so much to advance what we know about GW behavior. It just goes to show, you don’t have to be a trained scientist, you just have to have passion. I’m sure many actual shark scientists watch these and it helps a Ton!! Great job bro. Keep it up!!
to be fair, this guy is an *actual* shark scientist
he may not be credentialed but neither was Davinci
Californian shark sounds gay
@@amaka747😂😂😂😂😂
As far as being as scientist vs a non scientist they just observe… that’s why often commercial fishermen know more about sharks than some nerd scientist
Cooling off next to your fish of the day you caught? My god that’s not too sharp!
Stunning footage as always
Thanks 👍
I raise pigs on my heritage farm. They free range, like sharks free range. My pigs are very friendly animals... but if I have a bucket of their favorite food, or a sandwich in my pocket, I have to be very careful or the pigs could accidentally bite me, in their rush for food.
dude that guy most definitely shit himself when his buddy on the boat was like bro um there is a rather large shark swimming right toward you
I once took a helicopter ride out of Galveston offshore. as I was leaning out and looking around, I noticed all the wading fishermen, many of them on the 2nd and 3rd sandbar. And circling them was between 5 and 8 sharks. Of course these idiots have these baskets that contain their bait and their caught fish, in the water.
In related news, ever year one or two fishermen are lost to "riptides".
In other related news, the Darwin awards are awarded, yet again to....
You should rig up a mini speaker that will announce "shark below" with beep sound that you can activate if necessary a@@TheMalibuArtist
That dude owes you a nice bottle of champagne every year on the anniversary of this encounter!!!
It's truly captivating to witness clear indications of factors that can attract Great White sharks. Your footage is truly remarkable.
Lol. He hasn't done any research.
@@billbally4419stop hating on the dude. Hands down best shark videos on RUclips. Not only videos but saves lives as well💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Definitely saves lives
You organized my thoughts perfectly. Thank you.
Attract? He's filming off of California, which is one of their natural habitats. We just happened to decide to play in their backwards.
Sharks aren’t bad animals, they’re just dangerous animals. Beautiful, deadly and so important to the oceans.
Sharks know that boats mean the dinner bell is ringing! You having caught this on video should plainly be confirmation, the fisherman was fortunate that you were there to show the warning.
It was a wonderful video, thanks for sharing ❤
That one was a bit heart stopping! Luckily the fishermen worked out why your drone was there and the one on the boat got his mate out of the water! It’s a shame they didn’t realise their catch was causing the Shark’s attraction.
I’m always grateful for your videos Carlos. For the sheer beauty and the education ❤ 🦈
Not knowing their catch was causing the shark's attraction was really pretty dumb.
@@Bob31415 you’re right about that! Why wouldn’t they just take an extra Esky out with them. They’ve probably got one for their beers 🍻 😂
Wow, just wow. I hope that guy takes the lesson to heart. We’re far from the top of the food chain in the water. Amazing footage, as always.
I beg to differ on that not being at the top of the food chain...I'm thinking if it's one on one it's a great chance of survival because you could have a spear gun a diving knife or shark repellent and at most your hands to bump it in the nose or gouge out its eyes with your fingers maybe more extreme have a gun or a stick of dynamite.. just saying we're still at the top of the food chain even in water😊
I was swimming in a river which was suppose to be very safe. When I got out of the water, getting dried up, I was just looking at the water. I saw a kind of a rock shaped thing which grabbed my attention, kept looking at it and a few seconds later, it moved. IT WAS A HUGE CROC. I estimated it was at least 12 to 13 feet long. I then realised that it was the same patch of water where I was swimming, away from my friends who were at the other end. I immediately ran towards others and warned them. Everybody got out soon. I thanked God that I was alive, couldn't sleep a few nights as I kept thinking why didn't he attack me, I was the easiest catch. It changed my mindset forever. I respect nature much more now and try to contribute in the least possible methods that I can.
Where, what river?
Where??????
It's a river in Gujarat, near Baroda, India.
@@raulraut299 was it a Gavial crocodile? Or do you have salt water crocs?
You’re very lucky to be alive, very scary!
Thank you, Malibu Artist! Your videos are not only beautiful, but add to our knowledge and understanding of white sharks.
Yes, sharks will kill you if you get into their water.
I've had a number of encounters with sharks while diving - all of them peaceful and mesmerising. I greatly appreciate your choice of rustic music for all of your videos. No clickbait drama added.
Discovery channel should take notes to improve their garbage documentaries.
Your ability to keep the shark and the humans in the same frame at all times illustrates your mastery of drone piloting better in this remarkable footage than in many I've seen posted in the past. Each episode you film raises the bar a few notches higher. I hate to say this but it is almost inevitable that your drone will one day record a shark predation, hopefully of a seal and not of a human being.
IF he did film a shark attack on a person... I can only imagine the amount of knowledge researchers could gain from the recording.
@TruFrag honestly believe he 100% averted one from happening here. Can't prove it but my gut tells me at a minimum that shark was getting ready to give a so called "exploratory bite "
More likely, the shark would have gone for the fish, if that. There is another video by Malibu Artist showing a kayak fisherman with a caught mid-size, live halibut hanging in the water to keep the catch fresh. A large GWS repeatedly comes in close to take a look, but never goes for the halibut. Of course, the kayak fisherman is clueless despite the drone's attempt to get his attention.
In neither video does the shark display fast movements or any other aggressive behavior, which surprises me given that in both cases there is actually live bait in the water. I think it goes to show that GWSs aren't nearly as gung-ho about getting a free meal, much less attacking people, as we are led to believe by mainstream media. It's not that they are not hungry. They are. But they are generally very careful predators. Hence also the usual test bite (which minimizes the shark's injury potential by avoiding an unnecessary struggle with the prey item, usually a seal or seal lion)
There is one caveat, however: Some accounts suggest that GWS behavior may be quite different - less benign - in other places, such as South Africa or Australia. Southern California could be an outlier. If so, the obvious question is why.
Maybe, one day, Malibu Artist will have a chance to study GWS behavior with his drone in other localities to see whether there are any observable differences.
@roberthess3405 yoh the gws got chased out of south Africa by whales last I heard haha.
no one in the ocean is looking at your drone thinking you're signaling them about sharks
"Swimming next to your day's catch may just turn you into somebody else's day's catch"
Amazing footage as always, and highlighting the multiple factors at play in such encounters is educational beyond what most biology channels have been able to do
swimming next to your catch in open water is just about the stupidest think you can do. that dude is lucky he didnt lose a leg or worse.
Seems pretty common sense stuff to NOT do something that dumb, but common sense just doesnt seem to be that common these days lol
The sad part is if it all went down, the shark would be seen as the villain here (and probably killed), for taking out an innocent dude just dangling next to his boat
What an encounter, great work, great channel!
Thank you!
Seems like the dude should let nature take it's course. Now the shark had no dinner
@@TheMalibuArtist perhaps you could buy a mini speakers that are available online , made especially for drones ( Just did a quick search, they have ones with a range of 1 km or more for like 50 bucks ) it could be good to be able to alert any people if absolutely necessary.... Especially a larger animal !
I was spearfishing for years in Australia and I certainly would have appreciated it if a drone in the area gave me a heads up that a shark was nearby especially when the vis is lower . .. a big shadow suddenly coming into view is certainly quite a shock to a person 😱😜
@@TheCynicalOptimist88 Agree.
THANK YOU for this spectacular footage. Totally demonstrates how beautiful these amazing animals are, and how gracefully they move in the water. 👏🏻👍🏻❤️🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺
It's amazing how much we've learned about sharks in the past 20 years. I love this channel.
i have to admit, the shark, boat and drone was amazing. that shark was literally 10 yards from the fisherman in the water. an amazing video. great video. great work.
Great footage as always! At this point I'm surprised they dont make drones with a small speaker, so the operator can communicate with people
I was just thinking about that same thing, it's hard to believe that's not an option on these things
It would be easy enough to self install a small speaker on a drone. Either by splicing into the drones power supply, or attaching a Bluetooth speaker to it.
If the drone had speakers the best alert would be, “Get the hell out of the water NOW!
"they" do
Wonderful how you educate us about great white sharks being fascinating, sensitive and curious creatures, without suggesting that they're secretly lap dogs. 🥰
такая собачка голову откусит-по другому запоёшь
This was a great video. I am grateful that you saw the shark and it's intent. It's safe to say you helped them avoid a dangerous situation. Thank-you again. ❤
Your attention to detail and the seamless transitions between shots are incredibly impressive. It's evident that you have a keen eye for storytelling and a deep understanding of your craft. Thank you for sharing this stunning piece of work
I'm glad you notice that. I really do try to make this as story/factual driven as possible. thank you!
He reminds me in a very pleasant way The Legend that is David Attenborough, all the nuances, the depth, the passive voice in anticipation to every move.. it is masterful.
@@TheMalibuArtist 100% agree with the above comments Carlos - and I think this video is your best yet, INCREDIBLE work 🙂bravo from Australia
Exactly this

There are 2 GWS that swim together the majority of the time called ‘the twins’. They are both male and almost identical as twin brothers would be. The are fascinating to watch and you can look to find some footage of them and how they live their shared lives. Not only was the shark interested in the struggling fish but also the motor and blades send off electric currents that make their ampuli of Lorenzini react and freak out. It’s kinda dumb to float around your motor and catch of the day in a full black, seal-looking wet suit. Thanks again for the great videos. *the shark brother video is by Andy Casagrande for Discovery, 4 years ago in Australia.
Holy cow. Who knows what would have happened if you were not there. I hope that gentleman tracks you down and buys you a beer, Carlos. Thanks for sharing. From the UK
Meh. I'm pretty sure great whites swim around unknowing humans all the time. They don't like to eat humans, most attacks are accidental
Nothing, that's what.
@@fkcZwaYk7Osure buddy it would have at the least been a Mick Fanning incident
@@fkcZwaYk7Osecond attack by a great white on my uncles swim team happened two days ago .. second white shark attack in 2 years to his team .. they bite .. dont act like they don’t
Darwin's Law almost came into force in your video. Stunning camera footage as always. Greetings from a Brit living in western Finland.
Your work needs to go further than YT. I’m sure there are a LOT of people who would have an interest in seeing this who are not aware of your work. This should be evening TV stuff. I’ve no interest in sharks but stumbled across your channel earlier this year. Great work and education, keep it up!
Unfortunately we’ll made peaceful informative work like this one apparently don’t sell as much as fear m’ingérant and unnecessary action fear music for a relatively mediocre documentary (yes shark week I am looking at you)… That will change eventually tho, Im sure there’s enough of us that want to do this Steve Erwin style and show the wonders of this world and sharks with love and passion rather than scare tactics.
You had me on the edge of the seat! I can just imagine the adrenaline rush that the man had :) Great shots and I love your scientific assessments, they all help build respect for this amazing creature. Chapeau!
Damn that had me going for a second. Never realized how big the shark is until it was near people. Very beautiful shark. I wonder if researchers contact malibu for coordinates to figure out which individuals he has captured on camera?
I've been watching your content since the beginning. You've just become better with what you do. With all your hard work come the opportunities. You have met them at every turn!
I appreciate that! And I appreciate your continued support!
This was amazing. Very cool to capture such close interactions between people and the abundant sea life below.
Wow! That could have gone very badly. You did that man a great service. Sweet that they appreciated you! Amazing footage and narration, as always 😊
I hope that dude comes up with brighter ideas in the future though, otherwise he is up for a Darwin Award.
Thank you for showing and explaining! It’s really helpful and helps me to not have fear, but to understand ❤
I have been surfing since 1976. You can't see the sharks when you are in the water. In all that time I have only seen 3 sharks. only because they showed their fin above water. All three in Carpinteria, Ca. We used to spear fish a lot in the 80's and 90's. never saw a shark bigger than 5 feet mostly leopard sharks. I have seen 2 big great whites breach off the coast of Ventura maybe 200 yards out near the harbor entrance.
I really hope those fishermen find the video - what a great memory!
Finally. A title that isn’t clickbait at all ❤
Amazing footage.. Caught myself holding my breath there... Phew!!!! Thank you. Great footage.. Love your Shark content... 😊❤
Excellent video! This is a great reminder of a sharks' perspective.
Thank you so much for your efforts to educate the public about the beautiful species known as Great White Sharks, and how they are not the villains they are so often portrayed as in media, such as the Jaws movie. Sharks are just like us - predators responding to their environment - and most of the time they want nothing to do with humans! Please keep up the great work on your shark studies.
What We Do In The Shallows - The brand new Great White comedy show
Amazing footage. You should consider hanging a shark flag or something similar under your drone to help warn people or show them what you're following. Again great footage and awesome channel ❤
Cooling off in the worst place possible. You might’ve saved that man’s life.
They got so lucky that someone was there with a drone.
Oh boy! You had my heart beating fast on this one! Wonderful video as always!
Thanks for your calm, well-explained, and beautifully filmed „educational“ videos. It's wonderful to watch every time. 😊😊😊
It’s INSANE how small these “small” sharks look from above until they get near US or our boats!!!! Like damn!!!
I am so glad to be able to see these magnificent creatures in action without anyone getting hurt. Thank you for your footage .
Awe you did great !! Thank you for alerting them !! Love your video❤🙌
wow. breathtaking footage as always; easily one of the best channels on youtube right here.
Wow, thank you!
I always look forward to your great work and insight. Thank you. I believe the Pacific ocean is Earth's greatest physical feature, and these sharks are clearly part of that beauty.
Your work has really helped me regard great whites with less fear and more respect. Thank you for helping me get over a lifetime of Jaws-inspired phobia.
That was suspenseful. I hope those guys will become aware of what brought this about.
Your filming is exquisite! Love the two jumping porpoises in the beginning. Your drone footage of the sharks is elegant. ❤ 🦈
Thanks so much!
Great video, people like you are the reason we have finally started shedding the jaws stigma from sharks.
I agree. So happy I found this channel 😊
Gimme a break. This is one area with juvenile sharks mostly. This doesn't prove jack shit
Fantastic drone footage and narration. I’m really enjoying watching this channel. It’s nice to see aerial footage of these beautiful sharks gliding along our California coast.
Damn that's a great footage. I'll even say something bold : you might even saved that man's life. And damn what a bad timing for that man to enter the water when shark was approaching.
Stunning photography, great narrative, thank you for all of your work and insights.
(I just became a donor to help you with your research. Wish it could be more!)
Love your channel! One of few I have notifications on 😊, been a shark fan since childhood. Appreciate your videos
Awesome! Thank you!
wow! Great job MalibuArtist! Great video, and example of why this is one of best channels on RUclips.
Thanks so much!
You always have such great content. Appreciate the hard work you always bring!
Awesome footage of the Great White. It's safe to say that people don't pay attention when they are in the Ocean. Thank goodness you had your drone and was finally able to warn the fishermen.
Some people… a lot, maybe, unfortunately
This is great footage and I hope more people especially those out there exploring the wide ocean can be more aware of the environment that they're swimming in.
Incredible footage. Well done alerting those fishermen.
Excellent video again. Footage and commentary like this helps dispel myths that sharks are mindless man eating machines. They are, rather, very intelligent, purposeful beings capable of differentiating between what's on their menu and what is not. Being in the water next to captured and stressed fish is not a good idea, as seen here. Thanks for the incredible footage.
Wow, great content and appreciate your helping those guys out! I used to live on the beach on Malibu Road and was in the water almost every day surfing, free diving, or paddle boarding - never once saw a Great White but knew they were out there somewhere!
Thank you - need to show these videos to my son. He loves animals and sharks being a favorite. Your video is a great educational tool for him. Thank you.
It’s a good thing that guy had a friend on the boat when he did. Great clip and great job alerting the guys!!
Stupid behaviour from that man, who swims next to fish that they’ve caught, hopefully he learned a very valuable lesson, and realised how lucky he was, another amazing video of these beautiful sharks, tfs Julie 🇬🇧
Absolutely clueless 'fishermen'
As always your content is amazing, well done...
From South Australia, we had yet another surfer taken by a Great White shark off our West Coast this past week. He was in a group of about 15 other surfers. Wondering whether they should start using drones in this manner as a safe guard. Area is also known for seals and sea lions...
or maybe dumb shits should stay out of the ocean
Is crazy that this is free to watch, your work is amazing!
Beautiful footage as usual. Great commentary! Love your channel.
spear fishing is already pretty crazy, but to do it with great white sharks around is terrifying. Even if sharks don't usually attack humans I'm not taking that risk lol.
These are great journeys to share with us. Your commentary and footage is fun and educational.
Such beautiful footage and thoughtful commentary
That guy entered the water needing a number 1 but left while having a number 2 😂
Carlos!! Amazing. Educational and entertaining. What a reward!
Really beautiful footage. Nice camera work bro...spot on narration too buddy...good stuff thanks so much and more please!!!🦈🦈🦈💖💖💖☮️☮️☮️🦋🦋🦋
Sharks know if there are boats around, that there is almost always a free feed
Great stuff Malibu keep up the good work!
We’ve just had another White Shark fatality in Streaky Bay South Australia last week. Surfer Todd Gendle was taken by a large 4 metre shark near Granites Beach
Thank you for your time and effort to give us this video ❤❤❤❤
Makes me think of all the times I’ve quickly scrambled from the water because the hairs on my neck had suddenly and inexplicably stood on end. 👀🦈
Appreciate you Malibu Artist 👍
AMAZING FOOTAGE!!! Very fortunate to have you in the air!!! ❤❤❤
Excellent footage....great video .Keep up the good work
Fantastic channel , thank you so much !
Wow! I was spellbound watching this video. Thank you so much for sharing! I’ve also subscribed.
I really enjoyed watching, thanks Mate
Amazing video! Informative and well-done in many ways.
Thank you for your great work. Love your videos ❤
That diver with the spear sure is lucky that the shark is drawn away by the boat, the water is too murky to notice a shark
Man this is really great content. Fantastic channel. 👍🏻
You saved a life that day,Thank You so very much,this os so special you can tell and and show this footage to your baby one day 🎉
Thank you for this (again) great video!
Great video. As usual!
Two thumbs up mate ! Logical actions, wise words ! 👏👏👏👍👍
This is awesome. I love your videos!
Always a great day when I see one of your videos pop up.
We have got to get you some sort of walkie talkie mount for your drones lol
Keep up the incredible work!
Incredible footage, thank you!
Absolutely fascinating!! Thank you!
