OFFICIAL VIDEO: Tiger shark attacks kayak fisherman off Oahu

Noon on May 12, 2023. Windward side of Oahu. 55ft deep, less than 2 miles from shore.
(Thank you for Liking and Subscribing!)
Heard a "whooshing" sound, looked up and saw a wide brown thing on the side of the kayak. Thought it was a turtle at first. Happened so fast. Didn't realize I took my left foot out of the water to brace myself from impact and actually pushed the shark's head off with it. If you asked me to do that again, even without the shark, I don't think I'd have that flexiblity. I actually only thought the shark rammed the kayak until I saw the video at home.

Here's a video showing what had happened right before, and 30 mins after the shark rammed my kayak. Hopefully this answers most questions as to why the shark would behave in such an aggressive manner: • Why did the tiger shar...

Might not have been the wisest move but my partner and I stayed in the area for another 30 mins until we saw a mortally wounded seal. This video shows the fish I had landed before the shark "attacked", the seal I spotted after, and what we did after seeing it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bMybfaelutSpe3k.html

Reminds me of a tragic story from Maui 20-something years ago. A newlywed couple were out on a kayak and went out too far. Couldn't fight the current back in and spent the night between Maui, Lanaii and Kahoolawe. They got cold and made the mistake of getting in the water because it was warmer. Tiger bit the woman in half and her husband scrambled back onto the kayak. The next morning the current helped him make it to Kahoolawe and he called for help. A few years after that I was staying in Kaanapali and was getting ready to head into Lahaina to go on a dive trip. That morning a Tiger bit a surfer's leg off a few miles north and he bled out. They don't like to publicize the danger in Hawaii obviously but I would never go in the ocean in the morning or evenings (unless scuba diving). Tigers may not be as big as Whites but they are pretty indiscriminate with what they chomp on. Don't want to be floating around on the surface when it's their dinner or breakfast time..

We’re going to Maui this October, staying right off kaanapali beach, last two times went to Oahu and Big island. I never venture far out into the water, waist height at most when swimming (although went snorkeling last time also in slightly deeper) I saw the bone chilling video of the poor guy who was attacked and eaten by a tiger shark only 30 yds off shore in Egypt red sea. Still shaken from the footage, absolutely will not be snorkeling, and if I can now even get in the water in Maui it won’t be beyond knee height to be honest. Read that Maui is the worst for tiger shark attacks of all the Hawaiian islands. Scary to think that in researching incidents I didn’t even come across the ones you mentioned (so how many more must there have been that aren’t disclosed…) Do you know of any tiger shark incidents happening there in very shallow waters? (< 20 yds from shore,

@thevikingnomad88 Жыл бұрын

@@denisinchains I used to stay at Kaanapali a few weeks every year. You should still snorkel at Black Rock (I always felt safest mid day around others). Morning and evening tend to be meal time, especially in murky water where a tributary feeds into the ocean. There was an early am swimmer killed in Kaanapali a long time ago that I remember but she was pretty far out. At the end of the day it is still a very rare likelihood and shouldn't let it ruin your trip. Maui is one of my favorite places in the world.

I read up on this more so this was a case of mistaken identity. He mentioned in the article that there was a wounded monk seal nearby and the shark may have mistaken him and initiated an attack. It didn't come around again because it realized it wasn't what it wanted, but like all shark attacks one bite could be all it takes. Thank goodness he got away unscathed. This is of course a reminder when out in situations like we should keep a good eye on things around us. A wounded seal not far from you is a sign you should probably move away as predators are always opportunistic. Can't blame him though I would probably get sucked into throwing my line out too. Let's take this experience as a extreme one for learning.

Are sharks color blind? Seems a little funny that a yellow object would be mistaken for a wounded seal.

@wnhuynhhi Жыл бұрын

@oolala53 lol I'm sure his kayak didn't smell like a wounded seal. It was a clear calm looking day in hawaii. That bugga was just hungry..angry or both. Basically if you getting in the water with these guys you are gambling...u just hope that they have a full stomach. The most scary sharks are the skinny ones...lol

Good for you being out there doing stuff in nature. Seeing and experiencing things all the armchair QBs will never get to see in person. I had a six foot bull shark grab my stringer of fish while wading flats in florida one time. Drug me for a while but I fought him off. Glad you didn't get scratched up or worse.

I'm not a Waterman but am ancestrally Filipino. I 2nd the outrigger suggestion- our Sama tribe does paddle theirs. I'm sure you've some of my hapa cousins there to ask about our native vessels. Native bruddhas got a version too:) I'm going to venture your kayak may have made that lap-lap sound my fun surfboard makes on the water surface. I could be wrong but I think sharks are neurologically in tune with their stripe organs on lateral sides of body. (I think you clean fish so you may have seen this.) The sounds indicates struggling dying fish potential meal- to them. Yeah, you survived a misunderstanding. *I'm also a big proponent for aerial drone shark surveillance maybe financed by KZfaq. Maybe realtime alerts to waterproof smartphones. Let's hope human brain better than shark brain:)

@@georgeacenas2349 I have a Bixpy electric motor on my rudder but wasn't running it when the shark attacked, neither was I paddling at the time. I was basically floating. I think the whales (bigger accidental threat than sharks) and sharks hear and feel the vibration of the motor and stay away.

If the shark attacked so quick and sudden, it means it was sizing you up and spying on you for a while without you noticing.

That's probably true. Because I had my electric motor off and I wasn't paddling, I was dead in the water, possibly looking like the dying seal we saw later.
