I can't believe that they use ropes instead of cables on the equipment and cages that they send down. Those sharks can easily bite through those ropes.
Right!! I seen it happen with a small boat tied to a bigger one. This great white seemed intelligent as he bit the rope in half separating the smaller boat. It's almost like it knew to separate this boat would make it easier to sink. I failed to mention it was like an inflatable boat. And the shark was seen showing extreme interested.
It’s amazing that they can identify and encounter the same sharks so many years apart. I hope Jimmy’s doing better. This must’ve been filmed before his stroke.
@@missbellaiza He did, while they were out filming. Luckily they were able to airlift him out to get treatment quickly. His recovery was pretty remarkable.
They really don't. The only times a White shark would actually eat a human would be if it was desperate for food. While yeah, being out in the open water with that many White sharks isn't safe since they're still predators that can also be territorial, they hardly ever want to actually eat humans. Humans don't have enough nutritional value to sustain a White shark
Slash has a Glasgow smile. Those are huge males! I didn't think too many males approached 20ft, let alone exceeded it. And finding two @ the same time, interacting together is amazing.👍
This was either last year or year before Shark Week, it blew me away, the consensus before was males max out at 17 maybe 18 feet and this was anecdotal. To find 2 20ft males and the female Deep Blue at 21 ft makes me sure there are possible 23-24 and maybe even real life JAWS at 25 ft. If males have been proven to grow 3 ft longer than thought, Deep Blue or another 21 ft female could hit 24 ft if survived long enough. I think that was the best shark week ever, it wasn’t as great this year, nothing against Johnny Knoxville but I could do without Jackass in my shark docs. I’ll watch both but please don’t mix them. Shark Week gets more and more commercialized every year, even had the largest ego ever recorded in the South Pacific as master of ceremonies lol, The Rock
@samholcombe3129 Females max out at around 20 feet, and males can grow bigger than females in time! It's all about time, and males get killed far more often than females! Males also mature much faster than females at around 25 years old to be able to mate, while females are after the age 33 and more closer to almost 40. So when we're comparing the 2 GWs we are comparing a male at at 26 and a female almost 40, so the obvious is the females seem to be bigger, but when comparing the Same ages males are bigger! Once great whites get beyond 16 ft or so they are to big to hunt seals, if they are in California they move on to Elephant seals because their much slower and provide more calories! But all the biggest ones mainly eat dead whales! Currently we don't know where the biggest GWS are hiding! Much of what we have known was wrong! But at such late ages to be able to have pups as a female and males have to be older than 25, they're being killed faster than they can replace themselves! But when great white sharks are around that means the ocean is really healthy. Seals bring sharks, and sharks keep the seal pops in control! Currently Cape Cod MA is the NEW GW capital of the world!
@notboblowski0624 I'm sure they can reach 23 feet, considering the ocean covers over 75% of the Earth's surface! Up until the early 1940s and all the years before our oceans had much bigger populations and their sizes also were bigger! Due to the mass hunting/ culling of the sharks and the seals, their populations were almost extinct.
@@shannajoy1821 eh i wouldn't really say that in this case. If you look closely in one shot, you can see another "WASP", meaning that they had a cameraman in the other one getting more shots. Being out in the open water with that many White sharks would be way too dangerous, especially with how they kept appearing and disappearing
Well the accuracy of the lazer is not 100% of course they look larger or smaller based on their depth until they physically measure them we don’t know for sure
You got their names mixed up on the title screen picture, the one with the scar on the left side of his mouth is Slash, that's how he got his name and that's the sure way you can tell the difference between Phred and Slash.
This is one of the best videos I've seen yet. Wow. And that suit was awesome. Good job guys. I'd say u did a grt job u guys. Nice. Very nice. More of these in that suit. That metal suit worked. Yeah, we got something, now. Good job.
There was an episode from Shark Week, I believe it was last year, where the rope was cut by a large shark. Of course they divers ended up on the bottom, thankfully they weren't in deep water. But, there came the moment where they had to make a run for the surface. It was a bit hairy! 🦈 😎
You think that they would make a stronger cage than risking something made out of Plexi glass dealing with a predator weighing more than a ton. This is a great cause and effect scenario. Love it. Hats off to dude that survived through crazy idea.
Not great White's they're protected. In fact in Australia their numbers have increased tenfold, because we no longer cull their prey (seals). It's one of the reasons attacks on humans have increased so much in recent years...there's simply more White sharks.
They're a lot more curious than aggressive here, so I personally wouldn't say they're just itching to get a bite of Dickey. They swam close to him to check him out and see what he was, and they bit the "WASP" as a test bite. Since sharks don't have hands, they have to use their mouths to touch things
They aren't wrong. White sharks don't know what we are. When you see something that you're curious about, you naturally want to understand it. The same applies with these sharks. If you look closely at their eyes in footage of White sharks checking out divers or cages, you'll actually see that they're looking at you up and down, investigating you and seeing what you are
@@-samart2004- "White sharks don't know what we are." - That doesnt stop them from EATING people. A GW will still predate on a human, and there have been many accounts of this - of GW predating on humnas. You just dont see it on discovery channel. To say they are just trying to understand, is pure bullshit. A gw will predate if it is hungry.
that one was pretty massive.....you can tell by their tail girth as well, these things just get so round and thick the bigger they get......could swallow a human whole funny thing is when he was first lowered they took huge interest but then after a minute gave up.......metal cage doing its job
Imagine how Simon Nellist got attacked by a Great white in little bay Sydney , he took huge risk to swim out there in shark infested waters ! To Dangerous he Paid the Price , Rip S N
I’m glad these people are excited about sharks, and let’s face it so are we if we’re watching this but sometimes I want them to take their enthusiasm level and bring it down lol. Especially that one blonde girl from other episodes who was always yelling and screaming.
I would love to be a marine biologist but I have a phobia of deep water U are so brave being that close to slash he is gorgeous. BTW how did he get that joker slash. Where he has a permanent smile 😍
It wasn't solely for the production of a video. They baited the sharks like this for scientific purposes, that being to try to get accurate measurements of a specific individual White shark. Male White sharks don't usually get as big as Phred or Slash do, so I'd say that using chum to lure Slash to them is worth it if it's to get an accurate measurement of him
@@-samart2004- thanks for your reply but wouldn't like to be swimming etc where Phred and Slash should happen to go as part of their usual migration,they are dangerous enough without further training/encouragement,cheers.
@@newto4361 Yeah, they are still predatory animals so they’re definitely still dangerous, especially in numbers like in this video because of how easily they can sneak up on you. Cheers
I love this vid! However, I'm conflicted about sharks being conditioned to associate people with food. I disagree with people fishing ON beaches where people are there to enjoy although they enter at their own risk. Not our territory! I don't like it when boats are too close to shore throwing food and or Chum over the side. They should be much much further out. Even the free divers have the water chummed before they go down into the water. All of this has and will continue to condition sharks to associate us with food. Still, I do love to watch it, SO.... what do you do.
The beach is for everyone to enjoy. I dont enjoy swimming but do like surf fishing. Nothing about surf fishing attracts sharks. Another thing is chumming is illegal to close to shore. So your complaints are just entitled whining.
It’s definitely possible it’s close to 20. Deep blue looks just MASSIVE and it’s believed she is 20’ and that’s believable. Sharks keep growing and growing so it wouldn’t be surprising if there were more out there around 20’ like they claim these are. They do look very impressive.
What a funny statement in the end : « They don’t wanna eat us, they just want to understand us » .., Yes off course , why youre hidden on that cage than ? 😂😂😂 These sharks consume everything, sooo stay in the cage , and don’t lie casual people
Majority of the time they don’t want to eat us, obviously there are exceptions. The reason why they’re aggressive here is because of the bait. He’s not lying. You just don’t know what you’re talking about.
Well luckily there are no dead or bleeding fish in the sea to make sharks feel aggressive . So as long as you don’t bring bait you will be perfectly fine.
With great whites they are mostly exploratory bites but since they’re so massive people bleed out. But I’m sure there are exceptions because watching those sharks come back for seconds with Simon Nielist was horrifying.
While yeah, White sharks do have a pretty varied diet, humans simply don't have enough nutritional value to sustain something like a White shark. There are obviously few exceptions, like the very unfortunate and tragic case of Simon Nellist's death, but those exceptions are very rare. The shark that attacked Simon was probably having trouble getting the food it needs and turned to Simon as a last resort as unfortunate as it is. Sharks, just like humans, like eating what they're familiar with. White sharks are familiar with seals, sea lions, fish, rays, dolphins, whales, and other sharks. They're not familiar with humans, so if given the choice, they'd rather eat something they're familiar with
Slash vs. Fred! I saw this episode; it is epic. The size of those sharks! And, Dickie, you are incredibly brave to go down there with those humongous 🦈 😎
Why are you measuring from the tip of the snout to the tip of the dorsal caudal lobe? Traditionally, an accurate measurement is from the tip of the snout to the fork of the caudal fins. Your methodology is inflating the claimed length of the specimens by about a foot. By traditional benchmarks, Slash is about eighteen feet and Phred is nineteen feet.
I honestly don't see the issue with it since multiple methods are used around the world. The caudal lobe is still part of the shark's body so I don't really see the issue there, nor do I see the issue with the other method. If the shark is measured with one method, then it'd be really easy to get the measurement with the alternative method since you'd just be taking away or adding a foot onto the length depending on which method you're using. That's just my opinion though
@@-samart2004- measuring to the fork of the caudal fin has been the officially recognised International Game Fishing Association method for world records since their inception in 1939. Sticking to this method ensures accurate records across time, and across international borders. "Estimating" how much to add or subtract, or using different metrics, is not how reliable, repeatable science is done. Discovery are inflating the size of these sharks because a twenty footer is the magic number and makes for more gripping TV, but it skews data and makes it appear that GWs have grown in size since previous decades. Besides just being poor science, this could be used as ammunition by groups calling for culling of sharks to protect surf beaches, or those calling for easing of protections to allow game fishing to resume.
@@nonanon666 Yeah you do raise some good points. Honestly I miss old Shark Week. Shark Week has pretty much become just sharks and celebrities and over exaggerated stuff over the past years. Though if I had to be perfectly honest, I hope they use this same sort of measurement method on Deep Blue since she hasn’t been accurately measured (by method i mean the type of technology they’re using and not what points of the body they measure the shark from). Even if they did over exaggerate her size, we’d at least know her actual size since we could just take off a foot from the measurement. Anyways, that’s enough rambling from me, thanks for informing me that the method you brought up was officially recognized by International Game Fishing Association, because I previously hadn’t known that. Cheers
@@nonanon666 They don’t look like 20-footers even with the caudal fin included. Those laser dots supposedly have a 1-foot span, but the span doesn’t look like it’s even close to 1/20th of the shark’s length. These sharks are more like 17-18 feet. I would note, however, that IGFA measurement standards don’t really apply here since they’re not in a fishing tournament. There’s a difference between the largest fish and the largest fish caught on hook and line to IGFA standards. Most estimates for the largest white sharks have been for total length, so that’s a better point of comparison (even though the measurement appears to be a couple of feet off here). Best practice for sharks is to measure fork length, total length with tail in natural position, and total length with top lobe at max extension, so you’ll have more points of comparison with historical measurements which may not always have used best practices.
We're not on their menus, but the cages are because they chum up the waters and throw hundred pound chunks of tuna tied to ropes causing them to go into a frenzy! They don't want to wait for hours or days to get the big ones in to film, plus much of it is weather permitted and oceans can get really ruff, many of the filming sites are far from any help! Watch when divers go into the water with the GWS when there's no food, and their behaviors aren't aggressive or when a dead whale is there and there isn't competition for food! When there's tons of fish blood and chunks of tuna in the water, they tease the sharks by pulling away the food to keep them coming back up to be seen, this obviously gets the sharks going nuts, and exactly what they want to do to give a shark show!
If I was you guys I would Not use a Rope on that wasp because that shark was goin fer that Rope, it's almost like that shark knew he could keep him down there by biting that rope! You look he headed right for it!!hle learned that somewhere
Well... You have to remember shark's don't have hands. Little nibbles are how they explore and test things in their world that they haven't seen before or don't understand.
@@kopitarrules Don't be a fool Simon Nellist was literally consumed whole before our very eyes a few months back. It's just typical media over correction to say they don't want to eat us. No, we are not their preferred prey, but sometimes they do eat us.

With great whites they are mostly exploratory bites but since they’re so massive people bleed out. But I’m sure there are exceptions because watching those sharks come back for seconds with Simon Nielist
was horrifying.
While yeah, White sharks do have a pretty varied diet, humans simply don't have enough nutritional value to sustain something like a White shark. There are obviously few exceptions, like the very unfortunate and tragic case of Simon Nellist's death, but those exceptions are very rare. The shark that attacked Simon was probably having trouble getting the food it needs and turned to Simon as a last resort as unfortunate as it is. Sharks, just like humans, like eating what they're familiar with. White sharks are familiar with seals, sea lions, fish, rays, dolphins, whales, and other sharks. They're not familiar with humans, so if given the choice, they'd rather eat something they're familiar with
phred attacked Brandon’s cage in 2013 and slash is the suspect of shark attack
That's smart taunt and play with sharks near the coast. Teaching sharks to hunt closer to the shoreline
Slash vs. Fred! I saw this episode; it is epic. The size of those sharks! And, Dickie, you are incredibly brave to go down there with those humongous 🦈 😎
No there's a big giant King HammerHead named SharkNado!
The biggest recorded hammer was 20 feet.. the record is like 1200 in weight
This is not a male shark ? It has no claspers ...so can't be slash ?
I love these animals but you guys are nuts.
Why are you measuring from the tip of the snout to the tip of the dorsal caudal lobe?
Traditionally, an accurate measurement is from the tip of the snout to the fork of the caudal fins.
Your methodology is inflating the claimed length of the specimens by about a foot.
By traditional benchmarks, Slash is about eighteen feet and Phred is nineteen feet.
I honestly don't see the issue with it since multiple methods are used around the world. The caudal lobe is still part of the shark's body so I don't really see the issue there, nor do I see the issue with the other method. If the shark is measured with one method, then it'd be really easy to get the measurement with the alternative method since you'd just be taking away or adding a foot onto the length depending on which method you're using. That's just my opinion though
@@-samart2004- measuring to the fork of the caudal fin has been the officially recognised International Game Fishing Association method for world records since their inception in 1939.
Sticking to this method ensures accurate records across time, and across international borders.
"Estimating" how much to add or subtract, or using different metrics, is not how reliable, repeatable science is done.
Discovery are inflating the size of these sharks because a twenty footer is the magic number and makes for more gripping TV, but it skews data and makes it appear that GWs have grown in size since previous decades.
Besides just being poor science, this could be used as ammunition by groups calling for culling of sharks to protect surf beaches, or those calling for easing of protections to allow game fishing to resume.
@@nonanon666 Yeah you do raise some good points. Honestly I miss old Shark Week. Shark Week has pretty much become just sharks and celebrities and over exaggerated stuff over the past years. Though if I had to be perfectly honest, I hope they use this same sort of measurement method on Deep Blue since she hasn’t been accurately measured (by method i mean the type of technology they’re using and not what points of the body they measure the shark from). Even if they did over exaggerate her size, we’d at least know her actual size since we could just take off a foot from the measurement. Anyways, that’s enough rambling from me, thanks for informing me that the method you brought up was officially recognized by International Game Fishing Association, because I previously hadn’t known that. Cheers
Id be happy with tip of "nose" to tip of tail!
@@nonanon666 They don’t look like 20-footers even with the caudal fin included. Those laser dots supposedly have a 1-foot span, but the span doesn’t look like it’s even close to 1/20th of the shark’s length. These sharks are more like 17-18 feet.
I would note, however, that IGFA measurement standards don’t really apply here since they’re not in a fishing tournament. There’s a difference between the largest fish and the largest fish caught on hook and line to IGFA standards. Most estimates for the largest white sharks have been for total length, so that’s a better point of comparison (even though the measurement appears to be a couple of feet off here). Best practice for sharks is to measure fork length, total length with tail in natural position, and total length with top lobe at max extension, so you’ll have more points of comparison with historical measurements which may not always have used best practices.
I came for slash the musician, but decided to stay for slash the shark. Slash would be proud!
16ft tops.
That's a twenty-footer!
Great Dickie all the wat from Hermanus,South africa
Some amazing film there
Rope and plexi glass=madness
They don’t want to eat us😂😂🤣why do you need a cage😳
We're not on their menus, but the cages are because they chum up the waters and throw hundred pound chunks of tuna tied to ropes causing them to go into a frenzy! They don't want to wait for hours or days to get the big ones in to film, plus much of it is weather permitted and oceans can get really ruff, many of the filming sites are far from any help! Watch when divers go into the water with the GWS when there's no food, and their behaviors aren't aggressive or when a dead whale is there and there isn't competition for food! When there's tons of fish blood and chunks of tuna in the water, they tease the sharks by pulling away the food to keep them coming back up to be seen, this obviously gets the sharks going nuts, and exactly what they want to do to give a shark show!
Sharks are awesome!
Where are the 20ft sharks?
Hehe, saw the other film crew cage in the background there for a second.
just remember the words of the man working 40 years with animals in the big water. Saying a great white can break every cage ez
They not 20s but they clean 🤣
Amazing how curious they are? No doubt homing in the electrical impulses given off.
If I was you guys I would Not use a Rope on that wasp because that shark was goin fer that Rope, it's almost like that shark knew he could keep him down there by biting that rope! You look he headed right for it!!hle learned that somewhere
These creatures are more intelligent than we think!
They don't want to eat us!? Just a taste test you think?
Well... You have to remember shark's don't have hands. Little nibbles are how they explore and test things in their world that they haven't seen before or don't understand.
Cuz we don't tast good to them we are not in there diet
@@GalaxyWolf-pd5wu Try explaining that to anyone whose been gobbled down by a shark. They won't listen to a word you say. 😵
Sometimes they do eat us. Sharks arent stupid. If a predator comes across a human prey they sometimes have a bite or two or more.
@@kopitarrules Don't be a fool Simon Nellist was literally consumed whole before our very eyes a few months back. It's just typical media over correction to say they don't want to eat us. No, we are not their preferred prey, but sometimes they do eat us.
Time to bring me up i repeat!!!!!! Balls of ateel !!!! Un Real awesome footage INSANE💟💯👌👌👌💪😇🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈SLASH N FRED ARE HUGE compared to tiny hooman inside wasp lol ouch just one bite curiousity all those bubbles!!!
solid steel frame protecting him, old rope keeping him from sinking to the bottom 👍
Those sharks are 18' at best
ROPE🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol who was filming the man in the cage though?
Lol, they don’t want to eat us…..try leaving that little cage thing and then see what they want to do.🦈
Exactly!
Slash wanna have some tastings of what's in the wasp lol
Dah Dah Dah Darwin Award contestant.
cheese for your wine
So who was the unseen cameraman outside the cage filming the cage and sharks? Was he in a cage too?
20 feet eh more like 17 maybe 18 feet still huge for a male heck that is a pretty big for a female
Must have been an amazing experience, however the WASP was held by just that 1" rope?
Imagine how big the dad is
I'm 69 & a former Scuba diver 🤿. Watch 🦈 week since day one. I was always taught & I have seen it before in a Warning ⚠️ Never wear YELLOW or bright flashy neon colors. Am I wrong?
Yanking the bait away at the last second can't make them happy.
There must be a programmer with him down there - in another cage or what? Would love to know.
Wow they're massive . Is it just me thinking sharks are actually getting much bigger !?
Where's the cable ? To lower down the shark cage ? Not rope ! Like a shark with multiple rows of teeth could cut through that rope in one single bite ! You'd think they'd use cable !
