Two men fishing off the coast of Florida snagged something so big they thought it was a submarine. For more on this story, click here: abcnews.go.com/...
My father and I are big game fisherman,but I must say in the pointless 3hrs they had the shark snagged did these two guys realize a great white shark is categorized as an endangered species and falls under the endangered species act. Not only is it illegal to harm the animal which you would receive heavy fines(which they might after making it public), BUT if the shark died they would have faced IMPRISONMENT. If your going to big game fish do some research on what you cant catch.
I don't recall accusing you of condoning anything in my previous statement and I remain quite calm thank you very much. Please keep your holier-than-thou presumptions and "advice" to yourself.
Instead of being all scared and frightened about that which you clearly do not understand, why not do some serious research on how endangered and important these animals are to the oceans of our world? What humans are doing to sharks on a mass scale is an atrocity on an epic scale. These animals must be protected worldwide.
No JB, I do fish. But you're a bit naive if you think that the teeth of a great white would not have cut that line. In Hawaii, we had a diver killed by a bull shark that bit clean through his tank....not buying this story hook, line and sinker.
These animals deserve respect and protection from extinction. Not fear. Fear and idiotic shark fin soup has decimated shark populations in our oceans and it is clear that the full extent of the damage caused to all shark species has not been clearly understood. It could take centuries for shark species to return to previous populations as they do not reproduce easily. Given the critical role these animals play in the ecologies of our oceans and marine life, these are serious matters.
they did not purposely bait an endangered animal...they were fishing...see the weird thing about fishing is most of the animals in the sea eat the same thing...they caught it by mistake....it says that in the video..and with fishing you usually do not know what you have till it gets close...that can take a long time for large fish...just saying
so you are saying they should have stuck their hands down there and tried to remove the hook? really? that was an 18 ft great white, which they did not intend to hook btw. i really dont think that they wanted to leave the hook but it was probably a lot safer than trying to get in the water with it lol this was no trout lol
"I wanted to get that thing in"!? I really wish they did bring it in. A 3,000 pound 19 foot shark on a small boat. Yea that's smart. You see plenty of things go wrong when people bring a 5 foot mako onto a boat. A great white would fuck up their day.
The two fishermen said that’s a summary and with tail no that’s a great white shark and it has so many teeth it could on most grab you and pull you in the water
God told "throw your net into water n u will find fishes n catch them!"May God direct all the fishermen n women who plan, hardwork, catch skillfully , clean n market the fishes be a blessing to feed people around!!......
he was right.. it's a submarine with a tail. 18 feet.. that's huge ! what a rush that must have been good catch guys glad you let it go. you would have never been able to get that aboard with out it eating you lol
does anyone really think a 18ft great white would have just swam around on a hook ? at 3000lbs estimated it would yank that guy in the water with ease. video bullsh*t
You obviously don't fish. When you fight a large fish for hours, it gets tired. Actually, very much so. People have ended up injured because they brought a large fish in too quick, before it has tired to the point it can be (at least somewhat) safely brought in close and/or aboard. Especially fish like marlin that are notorious jumpers. You'll find a few videos of people hit and even impaled by them on Utube.
@ Henry jones jr. First of all they didn't bait an endangered animal , most large catches take a good amount of time to get in. How are you supposed to know it was a great white. Congrats to these guys what an experience it would be. This is not torture either it swam away just fine... People are so stupid. Alot worse happens out there
That's not that big of a great white maybe in Florida but In South Africa big whites can grow up to be 29 feet long i saw one while frilled shark watching for their in habitant with other with other marine sea life like great whites
My statements have been extremely relevant to the ongoing conversation in the public domain with regards to these magnificent creatures. If you are somehow obtuse enough to not have noticed that, in addition to somehow misinterpreting that I was accusing you of condoning something in a previous post, I would suggest to you that your pedantic assertion of your right to express yourself on the Internet clearly does not serve as an advantage to anyone...
y would u kill the shark? This is so cool and something like that needs live. it has a right to live for being that size. and this shows that when humans enter the water we become the food lol.
Lol alot of dumb people on here they where just fishing its not there fault they snagged a shark they let it go so whats everyone tripping over i bet that was a cool experience
U think the cops are gonna go after them for this video and you're the one calling them stupid? You have obviously never dealt with cops, they wouldn't waste their time investigating an illegal catch days after it happens haha
they have always been down there. in fact researchers tagged a large female up here, near rhode island, which they named maggie. they have tracked her all the way do the tip of florida...:)
I hate fishermen they dont know that those sharks are becoming extinct like wtf were you gonna kill it for to say you caught it? someone throw them in the water please
You don't even read comments, do you? You just reply to them. Or maybe you didn't receive the one with the statistics which you may find lower on this page
I type in "megalodon shark caught on tape" and this video comes up first smh...🤦♂️
Lmfao I just type that
Same I'm just like, WHAT'S SO INTERESTING? YEAH THEY EXIST DUHH.
Me to lol
same lol but i typed "megaladon caught on tape"
the megalodon doesn't exists
"Video caught on tape"
Ya don't say?
They were fishing and they caught the biggest video ever ON TAPE
i don't think it's fake
"Video caught on tape."
Oh Really ?
They caught their own video on youtube Wait how do i explain this to you hmmm
Lol.
"Duh, must be a submarine! Hey let's let it suffer for 3 hours! We're cool."
"I don't care what they say, cause I was there it's live like I (pause)...." He wanted to finish off saying "Like I give a shit what they think" Haha
cows are more dangerous sharks are just more terrifying.
OMG i caught a submarine!!!

How could they think it was a submarine?
Congratulations, guys. From Groton, SD.
they caught JAWS!!!
The shark had more teeth then the two guys...
18ft? Really? A foot must be 6 inches in America.
"I don't care how expensive they are, I'm not taking the hook out of its mouth. You do it."
no way can those two guys hold onto a shark weighing 3000 pounds.
Dear God, these two men can just about string a sentence together...
Fail title haha
Isnt it the Japanese who cut off the fins?
I don't recall accusing you of condoning anything in my previous statement and I remain quite calm thank you very much. Please keep your holier-than-thou presumptions and "advice" to yourself.
It took three hours to get to the boat...they only had it for a few minutes at the side of the boat.
Can someone please auto-tune this news?????
Can hardly even see it.
Three. I sent three comments, two of which you attempted to avoid because they destroyed your argument about the danger of sharks
by letting it go you mean cutting the line n not giving a shit that the hook has already ripped its mouth open?
i know they help our ecosystem but sharks are terrifying

Oh yeah, and hot dogs kill at least 70 children annually, but vending machines kill only about 13 people annually, so you've got that going for you
submarine is double the size of this 18 footer
No JB, I do fish. But you're a bit naive if you think that the teeth of a great white would not have cut that line. In Hawaii, we had a diver killed by a bull shark that bit clean through his tank....not buying this story hook, line and sinker.
Bull shark in Hawaii? Really?
Not a bigger boat. More empathy perhaps. Male ego knows no bounds.
*fear thinks*
whats if the megalodon is just hiding so deep down when the time comes he will go up and eat?...................

No pictures?
The guy at the end was waiting to get that one out
"I wanted to get that thing in"!? I really wish they did bring it in. A 3,000 pound 19 foot shark on a small boat. Yea that's smart. You see plenty of things go wrong when people bring a 5 foot mako onto a boat. A great white would fuck up their day.
He spelled correctly, he just doesn't know how to use complete sentences...Lol
The two fishermen said that’s a summary and with tail no that’s a great white shark and it has so many teeth it could on most grab you and pull you in the water
Since when do great whites go to Florida sure I saw a tiger and a bull shark but a great white wow
they are illegal to kill because they are endangered and a very important part of the ecosystem...just saying...
they didn't mean to catch a great white...says so in the video
God told "throw your net into water n u will find fishes n catch them!"May God direct all the fishermen n women who plan, hardwork, catch skillfully , clean n market the fishes be a blessing to feed people around!!......
he was right.. it's a submarine with a tail. 18 feet.. that's huge !
what a rush that must have been good catch guys glad you let it go.
you would have never been able to get that aboard with out it eating you lol
I caught a submarine
sharks shouldn't be illegal to kill
no no no no sharks deserve to live they bring together the wonders to our nature they deserve to live I love sharks
Since we aren't allowed to kill it, let's play with it to to the point of exhaustion before letting it go.
does anyone really think a 18ft great white would have just swam around on a hook ? at 3000lbs estimated it would yank that guy in the water with ease. video bullsh*t

it was snagged on the side so it couldn't have but threw the leader smart guy...

@ Henry jones jr. First of all they didn't bait an endangered animal , most large catches take a good amount of time to get in. How are you supposed to know it was a great white. Congrats to these guys what an experience it would be. This is not torture either it swam away just fine... People are so stupid. Alot worse happens out there
It'd eat you if it caught you so don't be so pitiful
That's not that big of a great white maybe in Florida but In South Africa big whites can grow up to be 29 feet long i saw one while frilled shark watching for their in habitant with other with other marine sea life like great whites
@seebz10 it would of also been ilegal leading to a $25000 dollar fine
Could do without the Katie Couric loud toned mouth woman news host at the beginning.

You don't even read comments, do you? You just reply to them. Or maybe you didn't receive the one with the statistics which you may find lower on this page
Would you preferred they followed the Japanese way and tortured it for 5 seconds by cutting off all its fins then throwing it back?
roughly 10-20. still more than lightning and vennding machines an hot dogs
