They are, you cant choose what takes the bait though you know?

@@wsz594 True enough. But I thought from the looks of things it was being hauled in for the kill rather than being turned loose.

@@wsz594 Using a whole tuna for bait, it's pretty clear they weren't targeting stripers, know what I mean?

@@andrewbland625 yeah but shark fishing is legal and in this area of the country there’s tigers, hammers, bulls, mako, whites are pretty rare

​@@andrewbland625 the gulf has huge bulls, tigers , and more that get bigger than this great white, and like previous commenter said , great whites are very rare too catch on my part of the gulf (Alabama)

Many cows died yesterday for us to honor them tasty burgers

@@jaeljade3609 don’t forget all those chicken nuggets being made. A chicken had to die for them.

🤨🤨🤨

He said they were after the biggest shark they could get. So yes, we can absolutely fault them for it.

Did you watch the video ? It was no accident , in the video he grasses himself up . I hope the fishing authorities have seen this and they confiscate his boat or give him a huge fine , and withdraw his permits . Did you see the kayaking scene where he’s pretending to be brave ?

if you watch the full video, they actually were good about releasing it quick, they weren't scumbags about it. It's on their channel

They didn’t really have to fish for it in the first place - it wasn’t an accident ! At least given they did release it - I suppose that’s something redeeming !

They didn’t

Tf? They released it pretty fast...

Cry more

@@hayleys1110 the stress and fatigue from the fight could very well have killed the shark. It's not like they monitored the shark after release, could've died an hour later. Do you seriously believe 100% of releases end in full life?

@@chimyshark go down there and do something about it then.

@@jaeljade3609 sharks breathe air?? Sure thought they absorbed the oxygen from the water that passed over its gills. You worrying over the wrong thing. 5 people have been attacked on the same beach in Texas this week. Novel thought sharks swim in the ocean so don’t swim there. Sharks can be food so fish in the ocean instead.

@@rainman6080 This dumb statement doesn't even dignify a response.

Where did you see it was illegal

Dude I live her in pcola it ain’t illegal 😹😹😹

Me to haven't been to the beach in a min tho

So here’s how this works Fukwit, in Florida you have the option for a shark fishing license. After applying you take a course on which sharks are allowed to be brought out of the water and which are protected. Just because you can’t go shark fishing doesn’t make it illegal. You can come w me next time, I’ll let you send out the bait.

​@Jackson Kruse catching or slightly harming a great white shark is a federal crime, and punishable with up to 20 years in prison and a 150,000 dollar fine. Plus you will be heavily regulated when fishing in the future.

Ur right the second they realized it was a great white they should've cut the line 😂😂😂?

How was it iresponsible if that's what they originally were fishing for in the first place?

@@ShadowOfDeadRhodes21 they weren’t fishing for a great white in the gulf. They are very rare in the gulf. For sure this was a huge surprise. Usually it’s hammerheads they’re fishing for from shore like that.

@@marcshields3677 thank you I was unaware.. thought they were just fishing for great whites

@@ShadowOfDeadRhodes21because it’s fucking illegal and harmful.

You and your accomplices should probably stop slaughtering 100 million sharks a year...that fine is gonna be real.

No we don’t

@@GrabbaBeer Google is your friend, go and do some research.

@@Soupdragon1964 we don’t. It’s illegal to slaughter great white sharks

@@andrewl9282 don't be a fool, the 'we' is us - humans. I've seen a few sharks but have no intention of killing one.

Not illegal to catch illegal to target big difference

Not illegal to catch, only illegal to keep. No one can control what takes their bait.

​@@mattc6015 "we're looking to attract the largest sharks possible" almost a direct quote from these kids, What is stupid logic what is good logic huh📯

@@GrabbaBeer yeah the largest shark possible could also be a hammer or bull or tiger so try again

@@bbbbbzzzzzzzzzz5431 I’ve been shark fishing for years in the exact area that they are the Florida panhandle and I’ve never caught a white shark I’ve hooked many 9ft+ tigers and hammers

Not that one.

And what they did is very illegal

@@brybryguy6314stay mad

The Great White Sharks.

they didnt kill it

Sharks have no ethics, so who cares

Yes.

Totally illegal to kill a great white

It is illegal to target them not to catch them very big difference if you hook one while shark fishing it’s legal to catch it but if you’re specifically targeting whites then it’s illegal

Yes but you can't control what you catch on the line bro.

They obviously knew what they were doing

Because they’re fish. Great whites are protected but it’s not illegal to catch and release them.

​@@GrabbaBeer not nessarly no. If you can prove it was a mistake then you may get a slap in the wrist. But. In this case what should have been done is once they hooked the animal they should have IMMINENTLY and I mean IMMINENTLY unhooked the animal and realsed it right away. They INTENTIONALLY brought the animal on shore and that move alone, you can face possible jail time and at best get your fishing licenses revoked and the guy running the charter can be then banned for life for running any type of fishing charter operations. Great Whites can die very easily, even if the animal was released there is a huge chance of the animal dying right after. Great Whites are a species that require to be in constant motion or constantly swimming, it is the only way they can breath, they cannot suck in water to breathe unlike alot of shark species, they can easily suffocate even in water if they are not moving or have water flow through their gills. For ever min that animal is not moving it is even closer to death by suffocation. The chances that this animal died in my opion after this encounter is pretty high.

@@brybryguy6314 they did unhook it right away, you have to feel it in close to shore on order to unhook it. Doing it in deep water is dangerous. They didn’t break any laws. They’d have been in trouble by now if so.

@J from the Florida website: White sharks are among the species that are prohibited from harvesting in state waters, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Prohibited shark species must remain in the water with the gills submerged when fishing from shore or from a vessel, and must be released without delay. They failed to do that. The animal was not kept submerged at all in the video with water passing through its gills.

@@brybryguy6314 no they didn’t, it was still in the water. What video are you watching? It never left the water.

Spoken like someone who has never experienced nature in its full glory

@@mattc6015 ummm nature in its full glory like leaving animals the fuck alone in their own habitat?

@@Liahs333 no like being up close and personal with a powerful apex predator

@@mattc6015 That’s called ego…

@@Liahs333 it’s called appreciating the power of nature

Doesn't mean you can't fish for them. Just means you can't harvest them.

@@WillInWestPalmthen shut up

u think he knew what was gonna bite it lmao

lol no one cares

Badass

Rather be a man than a bitch

like you

In Florida, a special license is needed to fish for sharks from the shore and you must take a course first to get this license. The proceeds from this licensing go towards protecting the marine habitats which Florida's sharks inhabit. So, believe it or not, they are protecting Florida's sharks and other marine life by doing this.

⁠@@WillInWestPalmthats stupid, Florida has enough to fund marine conservation, we aren't a third world country......

why do you thibk that was filmed so, in this video 📯📯

There are zero laws against fishing for them. It is only illegal to harvest them, which they did not.

​@@WillInWestPalm which is kinda silly if you ask me. When you get an "accidental catch" on land in a trap, you have to contact fish and game. You can request to harvest/ keep it at that point, and they may or may not oblige, but it's on record who and what was caught. If the same guy keeps catching bobcats or beavers when they aren't supposed to they get shut down. It's good to keep records, and it's also good not to waste a catch.

Of course they will. They are protected. Why would someone post them killing a protected species?

@@thecommenter7773 Yeah but hopefully they did it quick enough and in a proper manner to have the shark avoid any significant trauma.

@@Brandon-br7tc almost all shark fishermen do

​@@thecommenter7773 what they did is still very illegal btw even after they realsed it. They should have immediately unhooked the animal and realsed it and not bring it to shore. Believe it or not Great Whites can die very easily especially out of water for any period of time

And what are you gonna do If he didnt punk

Shark fishing?

@@thecommenter7773 Ewww. Find another, more common fish instead.

@@Brandon-br7tc no and I’m buying another shark rod this year

@@thecommenter7773 Good for you. It’s quite a shame you’ll likely never experience a similar situation.

@@Brandon-br7tc what do you mean

Vulnerable species? Not. White sharks haven't been hunted in 30 years.

Get over it. It’s perfectly legal to catch to and release as they did.

@@GrabbaBeer oh did they release it? Was it still in good shape by the time they did? I didn't see that part

@@MichaelJohnson-ft2fl yeah, the full Video on the page shows it

@@GrabbaBeer That's good to know. Even so just because something is legal doesn't make it ethical.

Why should you cause trauma to an animal for no effing reason

Lmao it’s not first of all, and 2nd. Take yourself out of this world, literally not a soul wants you here. Moral of the story, smart people can tell when miserable people are on the edge. Oh, and it’s not illegal. So go for it

Yes there is another video, the KZfaq algorithm will show you I'm sure. They released it as fast as they could

@@hayleys1110 but it still very well could have died from the stress of what happened. Either way you look at it, I think it's lame what they did.

Obviously, because it’s illegal not to.

Yea, the Great White Shark is going to die from the stress.... but not the snook we catch or the redfish, Tarpon, snapper, grouper...... and idk every other species of fish in the area ? 😢 stop being dramatic

​@@adamsparks4819 yes. A 2000 lb shark is a lot different than those other fish. This shark is gone.

Why on Earth would he drag a Great White to a public beach…? For KZfaq. That’s a bad fisherman. A fisherman with bad morale.

Keep up the good work David, excellent catch.

@@AS-rr9km absolute bs . did you want him to cut the line and leave the shark with a hook in its mouth. you are the one with bad morale

its illegal to target and not release them alive

No it isn’t, it’s only illegal to keep it. Think before commenting next time ☝️

@@GrabbaBeerDoesn’t make it right to catch these significant sharks. I suggest you to be quiet

@@axel0teal914 think before you comment. Fisherman can’t control what bites their hook. You wouldn’t exist if mankind had that attitude towards fishing. Fishing is one of the main reasons humans exist today from hunter gatherers till today.

they wont target gw cause its illegal and cause they are rare in the gulf so i suggest that you be quiet cause you dont know what you’re talking abt@@axel0teal914

Where did you see this at?

The same reason people have been fishing for thousands of years

for what dumbass??? its legal to catch and release them so get youre facts str8

he cant choose what he catches and he released it and its really rare for gws to be in the gulf so get your info str8

They clearly said they were trying to catch the largest shark possible and they are clearly proud of what they've done. Maybe pay attention to the actual video and then comment.

@@stinkyham9050 did you even read my comment dumbass?? Just because they said they were trying to catch the biggest shark possible doesn’t mean they were going for a great white. Do you know how fucking stupid you would sound if you were in Florida fishing off the beach saying “ I’m fishing for the biggest sharks great whites”. They are extremely rare Florida waters especially off the beach. I 100% know they didn’t expect to catch a white off the beach, unless they previously spotted it or were told one had been seen which they didn’t mention. If you knew even the slightest thing about fishing in Florida you would understand this but you clearly don’t. Uneducated idiots like you should really watch what you say about subjects you know nothing about unless you want to look foolish. You do realize there are hammer heads, sandbar sharks, lemon sharks, and several other species bigger than this probably 10-12 foot white they caught in Florida. If they were going for “the biggest shark” they clearly got the wrong one… jack ass.

@@stinkyham9050 maybe shut the fuck up they probably thought they were gonna get a big tiger or hammer or something and yes why shouldn’t they be proud of that big boy they caught and released

or use smaller bait and hooks, right What are these guys on about

Oh my big boss here getting in the water with his whole ass spear gun killing everything you catch.... yet these people literally catch and release everything ..... how did you get so damaged to believe targeting and killing fish is somehow better then catching and releasing fish??

@@adamsparks4819 that's right pal 🤡 Your Big Boss✊ Got it?

Cool tell us more. What were the sizes

Well, elaborate, how big were they???

they are on the corner where nobody is fishing also they dropped it like 30 feet out so it was already there

they showed them releasing it on tik tok

They just pinged one off coast of clearwater the other week! They're here!

They released it.

Your crazy dude, you cant kill white sharks....

What a strange thing to say

Great whites may be endangered but bull sharks are thriving in Florida , so much so that licensed fisherman are allowed to catch and kill 1daily (to my knowledge) to keep their numbers in check. Sometimes hunting is good for the environment
