- Myself and Hanno were out approx 3 km from Myoli fishing when a 5 meter long Great White Shark approached Hanno and started circling him . I paddled to his side for safety reasons of course (makes a bigger target) The Shark circled us and kept coming in for test bites etc . Every time you see me put my GO PRO Hero2 camera down I was hitting the shark to try and fend it off with my paddle.
Was an awesome and humbling experience i would not want again in a hurry ! 😁
Shark: If I eat these guys I’ll never be on TH-cam 🤷🏼♂️
Lmao
I will never understand why people go FISHING in KAYAKS in the South African ocean... 🌊🦈
idiots
Bang on...wouldn t catch me kayaking in a backyard pool in Australia let alone the ocean...its called "bait"
They are fucking idiots
Wait ...was'nt there a song called Heroes end?..
Because these are reel men who LIVE life, not talk shit from there mommies safe little bedroom. Did they died tho?
If you see him when he's that near, you can bet that he's observing you for a long time. Great Whites circle careful and for a long time before they get nearer to do test bites.
Yet we are led to believe that after all that stalking with their supersharkie senses that attacks are mistaken identity….yeah, right
As for kayakers off the South African coast, with its Great white shark infested waters... what on earth are you guys thinking!?
xevious2501 Darwin award nominee
Do you really think they "think"?
There white guys living in South Africa that should speak for itself !
Michele Ellis you clearly don’t understand South African politics as that went over your head. Has nothing to do with liberals.
SGT . Renegade Reaper yeah its funny how white man do really skits ballsy stuff aye like you only see white man doing the most epic stunts in moto x and jumping of cliffs with wings got to give it to them aye like they Are amazing inventors they are real thinkers top dog of humans by far
Sun is going down, your in tiny kayaks with sharks bigger then your boats, and still fishing... are you fellas bonkers
Margret Me you go in the kayak? Kayak goes in the water...Shark’s in the water...OUR SHARK! Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies!😁
This is south Africa its safer out there with a great white then on land with ppl
Tomulator Quinn was right 👍😂😂😂😂
Neasa Coyne oh yes! Lol
Margret Me Eggfuckingzactly...🧐🧐🧐
I can't believe how calm you fellas are, this is my biggest fear kayaking. I live in South Australia and have had a few encounters with large whites, but always from a boat and that was frightening enough
Well, you guys wanted to catch some fish!!..
Well, Catch him.. Lol.
All you have to do in this type of situation is cover your eyes with your hands and the shark is gone.
Con Corrales 😂😂
Amen !! Haha
Con Corrales Tried this with my ears.....it works great with my wife!!!!
Or click your heels 3 times and say there's no place like land.
Great idea! Once you're dead, nothing can hurt you anymore!
You're gonna need a bigger boat! :))
That's all I could think lol...
And, there it is there...the comment that I was looking for.
I just knew someone had to!
Jaws
Sharks and me have agreement.
" i'll stay out your ocean."
"You stay off my sofa"....
Works fine so far....
Unless it wants popcorn, sharks like junkfood , just look at all the crap they it lol.
I have the same agreement
I'm of the same opinion I'm glad I'm not the only chicken
@@georgebarsh5629 you're not chicken you're like me you actively contribute to your survival lol
ha ha...
You couldn’t pay me enough to kayak on the open ocean
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 👍
You appear to live in a country with bears. It's not all that different.
@@jvkanufan8115 um, are you comparing a fucking great white in the ocean to a bear on land where you also have the advantage of being on land whereas the shark has full advantage and is an apex, prehistoric fucking monster? Hehe
......think again
Smoqueed Indeed bear run fast asf and can climb a fucking tree guess a shark is like a bear in its normal habitat
I'm Cajun and Comanche Indian and been fishing for most of my life and not just no but hell no would I fish salt water from a kayak!!! I've caught many bull sharks and Hammer heads but thank God we don't have great white shark's down in Louisiana! I learned how to swim in the bayou's of Louisiana and I'll be dammed if I would have swam in the bayou if we had those things around! As far the Bear comment I go hunting a lot and at least I have a gun in case I run into a bear! That gun would do you absolutely no good with a pick up truck with teeth hitting you from below at 30 mph!!!! Smdh! Nope no ocean fishing for me unless I'm in a big ass boat!!!!!
Next day....For Sale: Two Kayak's fully loaded. Suitable as coffins and shark laxative. Slight brown staining...
Ha ha you're so funny !

Hahha
@@visburger1 what reel you used baitcasting..salt wather?...
Let's be honest..if the shark was aggressive we wouldn't be seeing this video....inquisitive maybe..
Yes it was a very polite shark. It didn't bite the kayak when the man said "no".
Sharks aren’t aggressive we are they are just in their home and we are intruding. We kill 70-100 million sharks a year (the human race) they kill 16-20 people a year by accident.. we are ruthless and I kinda hate the human race for our bloodlust
Sirius 👍😂😂😂
Good thing they're not as aggressive as bull sharks, would've been a different tune.
It's sundown you guys are on his menu.
What is the enjoyment of fishing in the open water on a tipsy turvy kayak; knowing that perhaps their are some creatures that might be bigger than your boat.
Kevin Gately is Dead the shark is more likely to attack if they act like prey - splashing or escaping would make them look like food.
Gary Miller solution: A friend with a boat.
b1rdkeeper S They’re older men (look to be in their mid-late 40s) who have presumably reproduced, if they’re going to do so, and I’m almost positive that the Darwin Award is for folks who are killed off before they’ve reproduced (by doing something stupid, yeah). I get your point, but I’m just saying, I don’t think they’d be eligible if it’d gotten them.
goutvols103 and you look like their favorite main course... ugh... NO Thanks
Many people don't live active lives to "be cool". If you want to never venture out of your basement, that's fine by me. I'll take hiking in the mountains, paddling in the sea, and camping in the woods over your version of adventure (watching TH-cam videos and expressing your ignorance with a keyboard) anyday.
Appreciate you putting your life at stake for my enjoyment but do have a b plan so that if you're attacked or eaten, the footage is uploaded
HAHAHAHAH
Some diver with find it, then be eaten by Jaws 2, Brody will develop the photo or footage and show Larry the major who will instantly dismiss it as BS even though this happened before.... and sack Brody sending him on a revenge mission..... oh at some point Michael Cane will start to dance like a bellend.
Lol
@delonix regia Well, that's pretty unkind lol
@delonix regia in what way? How am I entitled in any way? What would you base that off of?
Please, enlighten us
It looked a lot more just curious than aggressive, but I'm sure it's an eerie feeling to be that close to a great white in nothing but a kayak!
Thanks for sharing guys. What an incredible experience!. Great work keeping the boats together, very practical and smart. Keep enjoying the great outdoors. Please ignore the negative comments. They can pretend they are living life on the couch in front of the TV.
Well said!!! Tho I would most prob have a heart attack. They must have balls of steel. Thanks for sharing!!!!!!
Our ancestors did it the same way.
Let the pansies be pansies and the rest of us will enjoy life.
Crazy people near death that's all.
I’ve watched a few of these and these are the first lads I’ve found to pull their kayaks together for greater protection. Nicely done.
All i can say is, when a person finds out the risks being in a boat TOO SMALL FOR THE OCEAN and then does it again .... never blame the fish , especially when a person has been well warned ...
I love sharks but that's a little to close for me lol
Yeah, kayaking in great white waters may not be the smartest idea.... But on the other hand, people go surfing all the time in waters with big sharks. Encounters and accidents happen, but not often. You have to give these guys credit for staying calm and huddling up together to appear bigger, that was smart.
Thanks for the comment buddy .it's not the first or last time it's happened. Live life to the max it's short and no one knows when the clock stops !
And surfing in those waters is also extremely dangerous.
Susie Pittman so is driving a car around town, that's more dangerous than anything. Fatal car crash numbers exceed deaths from any animal attacks.
Cajun Floridian Not really, if the same amount of people who drive cars would go out on open waters like this we would have a total different statistic
Nikolaj Nilsson not really because there would be a tiny number of great whites compared to the number of people on the water.
RIP people watching this on headphones! 😂
I absolutely cannot stand all of that noise made from constant flailing around while the camera is in my hands😅😅gahh it's so annoying
Ariana AJ Beaverhausen Love it. Good memories of going to the cinema with my now spouse of 40 plus years when Jaws came out PRIOR to our marriage. But even in my hey day of youth and the notion of no fear, after jaws, I never went off-shore to fish except in a BIG boat. I can’t imagine going out in the ocean especially to fish in a kayak!
Guess my reply came a bit late. You were talking about the loud noises on this video, I am hard of hearing so that wasn’t my point obviously. My mistake.
xaxaxaxa i did 1st minute
Ariana AJ Beaverhausen for real though!
Shark: "nomnom"
Man: "HAY"
Shark: "ok sorry sir"
Ahh Love the laugh. Well we are here and he's here. Might as well have a good time.
Stupid..
Shit is not funny
I love how it is nearly sunset, munchy time.
Open water fishing....?
Yep...! Want to take the kayak..?
Yep...!
-next day: want to sell the kayak..?
Yep...!
Normal people would sell it for sur.
On top of the water, you just think of the surface, the waves, the calmness of the water. But if you let your imagination go, you might think of how deep & wide the water is beneath & how many really big things are swimming underneath. Some are hungry. Being on a kayak brings a closer connection to the water & ramps up the experience with nature, but leaves you quite vulnerable to a horrific, terrifying ending. It's risky but might be worth it to some. It's a personal choice. I'm sure the rewards are so high & likelihood of attack very low. Thank you for sharing some of what is lurking below. Good thing there wasn't more than one of these checking you out!!
Glad you guys made it back to shore. One helluva experience !!!!!
That's me circling In and Out burger!!
Do In and Out Burger give such disappointing scritchies too? That shark wasn't feeling the love at all!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lool.
after watching Air Jaws i would never
fish in a boat that small ( in the ocean )
W O W ,you are now part of the food chain, i don't think i could ever saltwater fish in a kayak. maybe the flats and i mean shallow flats, whew !
This footage must have been filmed in the the Bay of ... NOPE 👎
😳
You guys are super brave. I would have thrown that big fish you've got in your kayak to that shark.
You shouldn't do that, it would only teach the shark Kayak = Food.
Bad move, the shark would have associated them with food. It doesn’t know they’re just tossing it overboard.
They weren't laughing when it tried to taste the kayak.
Is it only me that finds that water noise annoying
Nah i find the sound of him constantly moving the fucking camera wayyyt more annoying
what would really piss me off if one of them fell in and you had to put up with the noise of the crunching of his bones,some people are so inconsiderate of their viewers
@@merino8472 Give me a break.
Dont try and change the subject that was brought up.
The constant fidgeting and movement of the camera is totally annoying.
And more than one person agrees.
Some people just don't have a clue whatsoever.
So bringing up the obvious is like breaking down quantum physics to them.
@@The-GreenHornet you know what mate,shove your opinion up your arse
I am pretty sure cinematography quality is the last thing on these guys' minds at this point. They may be recording this as a possible last communication to next of kin.
Holy shit, that’s a HUGE White shark!!
I can’t believe the kayaks didn’t sink from the weight of their balls!!!!
Guyinpajamapants )
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Best comment award :)
Red this same comment on another kayak shark video lol unoriginal
The buoyancy of their stupidity counteracts that weight.
You should have shake the cam even more
Can't they hold the camera just a tad bit more Steady ???🙄 Sheeesh
They need an aircreaft carrier.
yep, bloody hopeless!
It’s even worse through headphones.
One of the best videos I've seen thou!
Survival tip: When facing a great white you have to stare at the shark's eyes, while you start to paddle and then push your friend of the kayak.
I heard, it works every time.
Why aren't we paddling to the shore? This is why I'm a couch quarterback you go in I'll watch! Lol
We were anchored and if you run shark will instinctively attack so had to wait it out. Thanks for the comment
I said the same thing...idiots
@Jeff somersby this is a great white not a baby hammerhead
Kayaking South Africa ... lol
they can't even defend themselves because they are afraid to hurt it... bwhaha!
How would you suggest we hurt a 14 ft great white shark dude !? Shoe some respect to God's creations idiot !
I am amazed this video does not have a few million views....!!! Awesome video but scary as hell...
Holy crap, dude you have balls of steel kayaking in South African waters
"I think we gonna need a bigger boat..."
Ohh bieve me it would have gotten me rattled. Im a trout angler guys. I was thinking that shark.may have really hurt you guys. Pretty crazy
Brave men! I am almost sure my heart would have given out. Those of us watching this, at home, comfortable, safe, can comment all sorts of bravery, but I'm sure anyone of us would be quite shaken by this!!!! Beautiful shark!! Great video! Thank you for sharing this incredible experience with us! 😂😂😰😰👍👍
What’s your point?
so beautiful! amazing!! u kept your seat?? hats off
That kayak was brown when you got out!!
😂😂😂😂😂👍
Aaaand that's why I surf fish
Holy crap 💩 that was Awsome and scary.glad you guys r ok 👍
amazing footage! you guys must have balls of steel if i may say that 😉
OMG That is huge and I would have panicked!!!
That's what she said.
Not only scary stuff, I got dizzy from that camera going all over the place! 😁
Wow! When we remove their food.... they check everything out! Might want to edit before posting. Glad you made it home💛
‚Camera sound or water sound is annoying‘ - Gosh, some people are so ungrateful.
It is incredible that they are nevertheless filming in that situation! So shut up and be glad that you are able to watch this.
2:46-2:50 OH MY WORD! HUMONGOUS!!!
Why in the hell are you kayaking in the ocean. Use some common sense man.
@Morgan Smith so that makes it smart?🤔
Man in kayak: “f*ck off!!!
Great white: Tee hee hee
Damn carl!!! That looks absolutely terrifying...have you seen the vid of the kayakers and the white shark where the shark is attacking the kayak while the guy is swimming for his life? Crazy stuff...your lucky my brother....how big you think it was? And do you take any precautions now when you go out?
Great vid...thx for posting...
Hi Jay we reckon it was 14 to 15 ft . I have upgraded to a 14ft skiff with a 8hp . We also don't fish that spot so early anymore lol
This is comparable to having a grizzly walking around outside of your tent. Just makes me think how brave humans are to have traveled across the wilderness thousands of years ago, to cross rivers with crocs, oceans in a large wooden canoe, with only sticks,rocks or spears to defend themselves.
Why in the hell would someone decide to go in the ocean on something that looks like a wounded seal from the underneath?
I'd say just to avoid the wife.
@@warmuptheovensandroundupth2744 😂😂😭
That shark could come up like a torpedo and blast that kayak out of the water. People fishing in kayaks are crazy!
I thought you guys went out there to fish, instead you were holding hands! Well you had bad ass fish almost in your boat, you just needed to throw a line out, you could have caught a world record great white by Kayak! Thanks for sharing, I'm never taking my kayak out there
; bay yes, ocean no way! When the fish is bigger than your boat, don't go!
While you're out hunting for fish, the shark is out hunting for fishermen. :))
Do you think it was waiting to see if you were going to throw out food as I read once that cage diving boats are bringing sharks closer to humans due to their food throwing to attract the sharks.
That's exactly right my friend .
Definitely looked like it was waiting to be fed.
That dog is strange
This is brilliant, kayaks, fishing, sharks, but I do admire the way they tied the kayaks together. Now, off to drag a few salmon through the woods in grizzly bear country....😏
Jarpies..... some of the toughest people alive .... amazing vid you guys just incredible...any chance the shark picked up a minute blood trail ? Anyhow that's a survival epic
I wonder if the shark had a drink with his friends later and was like"duuuudes I did the circling bit around their boats and once they got the go pro out I bit the boat to see what they would do! You guys should've seen it, it was Awesome" and the other sharks laugh and tell their stories about the people they freaked out at the beach that day by swimming by with their fins cutting through the water to see how many people would run out of the water stumbling, falling and rolling around screaming "shaaaaarks get outta the waatterrr!!" ...😆🤣😂
TheArtistsHeart Studio ☝🏼 this is HILARIOUS!! 😂 😂😂😂
@@briangullickson9013👍 😄😄 😁
3:55 I swear his foot smelled me
just imagine how many gopros there must be on the ground of the oceans with footage like this but with a slightly different ending
Hello Africa...tell me hi too.....too too too too too tooo👊 great video
I have a couple of great comments and suggestions. Firstly, I applaud anyone who gets out of their super-safe supermarkets and hunts their own food. It helps the planet.
Secondly, very clever to put a rope on your paddle in case you lose it.
Third, a suggestion. Install a sharp thing onto the end of both ends of your paddle, so that when you poke the shark, you're pricking him and giving him a little sting. Just weld them on or something. (XD)
It will need to be quite thin, strong and sharp, because that shark skin is very tough to get through. You want something basically like a needle to the shark. Might need to be about as long as a large nail, but much sharper, and probably a thinner. More long and thin in dimension than a standard nail, and much much sharper. You want it to penetrate the shark, but obviously like a needle-prick, you don't want to be giving it big gaping wound like a knife or harpoon without reason.
I think the best description for what I have in mind, is a 'spike". Install a thin sharp 'spike' onto the end of your paddles.
Pretty good idea eh?!
Final comment I have is: That was a pretty big shark! 5-metres? Whoah!
I have one more final comment: If a shark attacks anyone, don't then go out and hunt it down. That's wrong. Humans' dying isn't the end of the world like we make it out. We need people to die all the time, it's necessary for the quality of life of our own species as well as the whole ecosystem at large. Dying prevent over-population, it's a population control-measure. Humans aren't sacred, and we shouldn't have this attitude of 'making safe' the whole land as well as the ocean. That doesn't mean we create viruses like AIDS to take out human populations. It just means that we accept a more indigenous way of life that involves natural risks and natural deaths. Without risk and death, there is no freedom. Cotton wool is prison.
If I had to sum up the sentiment, it would be "Stop being so precious and vain."
Earth-life is supposed to be dangerous, and we have to accept natural human death with sanity, objectivity, and equanimity. Not with Divine Retribution. That's psychopathic. Do you want to be psychopathic? Well you ARE.... (talking to humanity as a whole there)
Yeah alright, make safe your house and immediate surrounds. But not Everywhere.
Haha
Arahorn - I agree with you. Humans *DO NOT HAVE TO play in the ocean.* I'm trying really hard to remember which kind of shark it was.... The one that heaved its huge body up on the shore and all the way to a beach volleyball game, wrapped their teeth around one of the people, and hauled them back in the water to eat them. Ahh, I just can't remember it's name!
Oh well. Maybe someday, someone ELSE can tell me which shark does that. In the meantime, *if people decide to go and PLAY in a White Sharks front yard* and get hurt or killed, be sad, grieve, but *DON'T GO KILL A BUNCH OF SHARKS, JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE SHARKS* and THEY DO WHAT SHARKS DO; *SURVIVE* in *THEIR* OCEAN *HOME!!!*
You're a lunatic drunk for sure! So easy to tell
The encounter was Great.. But not the filming..
Excellent filming & v smooth
Fishing in a kyac in South Africa. Great idea!! You should run for council!!
@1:35 OMG
There's a bunch of comments about how these guys have balls, and how they just like fishing...well stupid is as stupid does! Only someone who doesn't mind dying in the open ocean takes a f-ing kayak out there!🤦🏾♂️
Must of been a Damn Life changing experience guys. So low in the water with such a beast knowing that if it had got aggresive and decided to dive and then breach under your Kayaks you were fish food.Fortunately you handled it perfect. There self preservation instincts not to get injured saved you.Still , unpredictablity Of these wild Ocean predators there is Never a certainty of its behaviour.
Exactly
Awesome video! I about peed myself. I think I would just sit and cry
Dam..... next time take some hand Grenades to scare them off.
Sorry but when you know for a fact that those waters are home to sharks of that size I think you better start kayaking in freshwater lakes or your swimming pools. If the shark had attacked and killed these poor bastards then certain groups would want that sharks head on a mount.
Yup sharks are everywhere in the ocean . So if you use it be prepared to meet them 😆
Great Whites are protected here so he is safe from being shot don't worry
Irony it’s a funny thing, you and the shark out looking for food. Fishermen are always looking for the best tackle to catch the biggest fish, you just don’t think 🤔 maybe the best lure to catch big fish is me. I can here all the great white sharks getting together to tell there fishing stories. One shark says to another the best way to tell when there’s a big human to catch - the water turns brown and lumpy. Lol crazy video thanks for sharing
Do Shark Shields work ? In this instance if you had one and flicked it on when the big fella was approaching would it deter him and keep him at a distance ?
When you go in the ocean you are in the great white place where they live in and who in the right mind would ever go in a shark infested waters just to fish hello no I will fish red on the dock or own land nobody could not pay me to get that much goddamn water and deal with the God damn short new and the shark is trying to single them out to find out which one he want to breach and kill that's a predator surgeon what the shark is doing so they doing a good job pushing the shark away and stand together but once the short go underwater and do that Outburst of speed draws open there ain't no saving nobody hell if I was them get the hell out the goddamn water
Delmer johnson we are first week of August cape cod mass woooohoooo we are LUNCH.
Come sit in my seat buddy . The view is a bit different
Carl Burger what did it feel like to be that close to a shark that size?
phuck you it was humbling to say the least .😁
Carl Burger thank u for the reply. Ive always wanted to see one up close. Im sure video doesnt do it justice on just how big they really are. It had to be absolutely terrifying to be in a kayak thats only half the size of that shark.
Which waters of South Africa is thus mate?
Carl Burger just got a kayak yesterday, took it out today, all I could think about was this video lol. I need a Xanax just thinking about it
By far the best camera work on utube
I saw another video that shows the beginning of this video from a different angle and it's really good quality filming from behind him and the shark is following him you can see the Fin. That video didn't allow comments. I'm so glad this one does because I wanted to say that these guys are so lucky especially being at night because at any moment that shark could have just bumped the kayak flipped it over and then eating them. At any moment this shark could have swam down swam up and jumped out of the water biting either of these guys mid-air before bringing them down to the water and eating them. People really don't understand how every moment they're Left alive they are so lucky that a shark doesn't just bump and flip them and eat them
Easy to see why comments were not invited.
Why do these people insist on going out into shark infested water on kayaks and canoes? Do they have a death wish? Then if they get in trouble they expect rescue services to help them out and that costs the taxpayers $$. I just don't see the thrill in that. If you want to fish, get into a boat!
too much money for a boat
And not as fun
I thought it was trump in the thumbnail haha
At least you had a buddy out there to raft up too-I would hate to deal with that in a lone kayak!!
Great film and. Teamwork.
Everyone bitching about the video quality.. I'm sure camera stability, angles and audio were the first things on their mind. 😂😂😂
Great vid Carl. She was gorgeous. Glad she was only curious. 😉
shouldnt put the camera in the water....it give's off electric static and noise frequency, confusing the shark into thinking you are a struggling animal...it will provoke an attack
Talk about your run of the mill "oh sh*t" moment.
Spooky! Thank God you're safe
Whats exactly the point of going into waters notorious for huge aggressive great whites in tiny boats that an adult great white could easily capsize if he decided to? I mean, why not just buy a small boat? The risk:reward ratio in cases like these just don't make sense to me.
We fish an area that is easily accessible by kayak and you can't get to it by boat easily. Also we couldn't afford a boat at that time
The adrenaline rush knowing you’re kayak fishing with monsters
Your camera guy needs some lessons! It was so annoying to try to watch while your hand is rubbing the mic the whole time.
Dana Markham its not a movie ...
Lekker video, Carl. Had my own fair share of encounters with these beauties on scuba dives on both the East and West Coast. Whereabouts were you kayaking when you filmed this?
Geezz! He's BIG. I wonder if he was interested in you or fish you may have caught. Regardless, very scary 😳
