I’ll never understand how when a man takes time to share a video about something he’s seen people are going to bitch about everything from the video quality to the way he speaks.most of these videos are shot off the cuff so if you want perfect quality go watch Netflix and shut up

Oh come on guys, getting a better video is not as easy as you think. This is on a rocking boat, with a moving shark, with sun reflection on the water. All things considered he did a pretty good job with the camera.

The Sea Lion is not being dumb. The boat acts as a barrier and allows the sea lion to use the boat as cover. It makes it hard for the shark to try and catch. You will see the same behavior with seals on seal island (Africa) using the boats as cover. The Sea lion has more stamina and agility then the shark so once the initial attack by the shark fails the shark will most likely not be able to catch the seal.

That seal wasn't dumb or stupid. Sharks rely on stealth and the element of surprise when hunting seals, because when a seal is aware of the shark's presence they can easily outmaneuver the shark. Seals are 100X more agile than sharks. I've seen footage of seals taunting and biting sharks due to the shark blowing its cover.

That maco deserves another 10-20 years with those skills,let the hooked go better than I could

I, too, think it was a Mako shark. The short dorsal fin for one thing. Strange a mako would be that close to shore being they're usually an open ocean species. I scuba dived Catalina Island and did see a large blue shark there cruising at about 50' ft depth ascending from 100' ft. I don't believe it's a juvenile White shark either. Very cool encounter!

amazing, the shark used his receiver to dislodge that hook. I see this behavior in aquarium fish on a smaller scale

Never ceases to amaze me how well camouflaged sharks naturally are in the ocean. How'd a 18 foot beast sneak up on you, that's how! Never catch me out there swimming

"If I fell in right here you'd eat me." From the way the camera is bobbing about I'm surprised you haven't.

A. It was a Mako. B. It stuck around because you got in the way of it eating dinner.

Wow dude your more excited than all of us put together. Too bad u didn't fall off the boat. Lol

People have no idea how many Mako's cruise close to shore at Catalina. A couple days ago I hooked and fought an approx. 8 foot 500 lb mako for 1-1/2 hours. Then released it. This was just past the jet ski rental near Descanso Beach, and only a couple hundred feet from shore. I took video so everyone would believe how close they come in when feeding. Great video thanks for sharing.

That's an absolute huge mako!!

Whatever kinda shark it is, he ruined your fishing chances for the day. But on the other hand, it allowed you a once in a blue moon opportunity to record some great video of a shark on the hunt. Many don't get to see this type of action. Good for you my friend 👍👍

btw, that hook is designed for catching big sharks... but it IS illegal to fish for white sharks in CA. shark was reporting a crime. :)

Looks more like a GW than Mako to me

Ah,I can almost smell diesel.

That's definitely a great white.

It's a juvenile white for sure. The Mako is not that coloration, girth or swims like that.

I’m big on letting nature be nature BUT I would’ve been trying to help that sea lion pup

Dude... That was beautiful.... Even got a hook and wire off a shark and out of the ocean.... Poor sea lion.... I was hoping it would jump on the boat...giving the man a chance to cut it off..

It looks to me that in the open oceans the sea lion is using the boat as kinda a block to confuse the shark to avoid a strike. The sea lion is smart because their is no cover than the boat.

Even tho it's bad filming you gotta love how excited the guy is hahs

That's a Great White brother. Makos are way skinnier and have a pointed nose!

He is circling the boat coz he thinks you are gonna start fishing lol. He isn't stupid lol

thats nuts.. i cannot believe you were able to get that hook out of its mouth. nice job..

actually if the sea lion can see the shark then the sea lion is perfectly safe. Its the shark at depth that they cant see that can get them. That sea lion has not a worry in the world as long as that is the only shark in the water.

Thx for this Video😊😊😊😊👍👍👍

This guy couldn't study his self he couldn't still the camera

Where’s part one??

Looks like a teenage white. I know they can swim way faster than what is showing in the video, but, I don't think that Makos EVER SLOW DOWN. Those makos are SUPER fast in the water. I can't be sure unless I was diving in a safe cage. It almost looks like a hybrid mix between white sharks and makos, as they are closely related. My money is on a white shark.

is this the double rainbow guy narrating?

We have Shark Week,Sharks have Ric Flair Week, Wooooooooooooo! The Nature Boy swims with sharks,woooooooooooo!👍💪😃🦈🦈🦈🦈🏊‍♂️🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈

Anyone else get dizzy watching this? I feel sea sick.

swims like a mako

def a mako, that nose is sharp

2 diff sea animals in the middle of ocean, one has a hook and one has gill net around its neck, go humans gooo we suck 🤦‍♂️

Dunno 'bout that; adult makos can overpower swordfish & other billfish--and they get to 10-13 feet long.

It's juvenile white, colour not right for either kinds of Mako's, and Mako's take seals whenever they can, when they are adults. Fastest Shark's in the ocean's.

I don't think that was a mako shark! A Mako isn't that inquisitive they usually only make a couple of passes on the boat and they leave! White sharks on the other hand are very inquisitive and will circle and hang around for a while! That looked like a juvenile White shark and he is probably just learning how to hunt seals!

Put the sun at your back when filming into water or use a polarizing filter to greatly reduce veiling glare.

Changed my mind it is a mako, see pointed nose.

Great video i think

lol sea lion has net around its throat and the world's fastest shark after it...it's doomed. Makos can normally match sea lions for agility and have better endurance underwater. The shark probably singled it out because of the netting slowing it down.

Looks like a White Shark to me

next time? get a polarizing filter for your vidcam. cuts the glare 100%

thats awsome

Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies...

please throw the camera man overboard.

GREAT VIDEO YOU SHOULD BUY A GO-PRO ON A STICK IF YOUR NEAR THAT STUFF A LOT❗️

Mako for sure.

Such a shame it was all towards the sun, was really hard to even see that there was a shark at 1st

It looks like a young white shark...moreover, makos do not go so close to shore

looks like a white to me just from the thickness of the tail

definitely mako. dorsal fin is too pointy for a white shark even a juvenile.

Nice filming

I like that you got great view it’s beautiful to see them do what is natural to them , seal was using boat , but also if mako they fastest shark it would be a race to island . Feel sorry for seal but that’s nature . But l do hope that when you said it was a mako and not white shark that you could catch it 😕. Would rather see the video of it like you did hate seeing sharks hunted .😞

Hes circling the boat because. All the boats feed and chum them up for cage diving now the see boats and what for fries like the sea bass at the restrants on ocean side where ever one throw sea bass french fries

Great white not mako

sooooo siick!!!

the one reason therefore that the sea lion doesn't make a run for it in open water.

Prefer to see more of the shark and seal.

Great White

Couldnt see any shark. Just the tip of fin Come on

What a let down. Could've been a killer video had there been a 3 year old blind ,and deaf kid with bad vertigo shooting it. Lol.

Is it white or mako ?

I'd love to know how the hook the shark allegedly left actually got tied to the receiver. There's a black string tying it to the hoop. ????

Those go pro helmet cams Suck!

in my opinion that was a juvenile great white shark, not a mako.

juvenile white shark not a mako

I saw nothing of WTF he's cooing and crowing about.

Dude, if you're going to fish in the Pacific, learn your species. That was totally a juvenile White shark. Also, the sea lion used the boat as cover to out maneuver the shark. They've been dodging pointers since they could swim.

Wrong. It was a Mako.

greatwhite no mako..

Mako shark delivers captain Hook a powerful ecological message about the fishing waste plague*. Imagine a stray hook in your dog's eye and you'll be seeing the compulsive sadistic drive to rip fish from the water with a hook through the face as a no deal for reproduction. Natural selection should have higher standards.

He could of just said, ‘Look at the water!!!’

small young shark , , but was it five or six gill slits there ?? i think it was five , !! a MAKO i think , look at snout and very large long pecs . and small sleak area to tail , no distinct white area to bottom of shark , more uniform colouration , big v in tail , probably 8 1/2 to 9 foot long.

You should have tagged it.

you should try holding the camera steady

Got sea sick watching this video.

Awful photography . nauseating . at least come around and put the sun behind you to cancel the glare off the water. Damn !!!

There's literally better videos taken by 10 year olds By 4:46 he's gone delirious. And 6:28 lol like wtf are you saying man.

Next time dont zoom in way to close. We cant see anything.

learn to operate a camera

Pay more attention to what you're filming. Most of what you were telling us wasn't even on tape.

@caseynty13 ok internet expert...... Makos are too small for a sealion

Cool experience but your recording sucks, got me sea sick 😅

Your camera skills need some work. You're telling everyone to look at the sharks 🦈. But, you're not filming the sharks half the time. Kind of annoying.

Obnoxious when totally clueless people try to video and totally sucking at it cuz they don’t know how to point cam; and then narrate nonsense. Definitely a mako. Look at pectoral and dorsal fins.
