"Under siege," "battle lines," "terrifying numbers," "arms race?" National Geographic these days sounds like a mercenary ad campaign, seemingly addicted to describing Nature like its little more than a battleground. Isn't it enough that we're stuck on thinking of humans that way?
Tiger shark 24 ft length??? It's more like 15 - 18 feet! (that's a world record!) This episode is so full is misinformation I'm surprised it is done by Nat.Geo!
Listen to this guy narrating, it's like they made it for special needs teenagers trying desperately to keep their attention. They took really interesting video and information and made it annoying to watch.
Yellowfin tuna rarely exceed 350lbs.i think the biggest rod and reel taken yellow is 400lbs plus.bluefin are the giants of the tunoids reaching the 1000lb class

A tiger shark is not 24 feet long. Not even great whites are that long. Largest Tiger shark recorded was 18 feet. That’s extremely rare. Bad documentary

Warning: Despite the name of this documentary, there isn't a *single shot* of a Shark chasing, catching, fighting, or eating a tuna (Apart from a single tuna on a fishing hook) They spend every bit of copy describing and comparing the speed, turning ability, advantages disadvantages for NOTHING. One would think that with all the build up, they might see at least one instance of these two juggernauts fighting or evading one another, but no. This show does a LOT to build up the battle between the two creatures, and then at the end you get to find out, there is no battle, there is no interaction. It's almost click bait. Pun intended.
Hahahaha. Spot ON. I think Americans are highly Dramatic. This documentary was a good example. Over dramatic descriptions but Zero Action. Nada. Wala. Notthing
This show made me cringe each time the narrator said yellowfin grow to be over 800 lbs when the only tuna growing to that weight is Bluefin Tuna yellowfin average between 200 to 400 lbs Edit: Y’all should let discovery channel handle anything ocean 🌊
got bored on how this is presented 15 mins into the show.. music is terrible, the speaker makes everything sound so tense.. and it seems like the story never moves forward to the actually point of the show.. and, those "tuna and shark"-stats are just .. plain annoying !
As good as this program was, it is short on correct facts. For starters there has never been a Yellowfin in the 800 pound class, ever. Not even close. The largest one ever landed was 480 pounder in 2018 I believe and that was by a spear fisherman. For me, this took a great deal away from the overall program as I expected National Geographic to have their facts correct when putting a quality program like this together.
I've seen a picture of a 600 something pounder posted on a forum by some northeastern commercial bluefin fisherman, who obviously weren't Wicked Tuna type goofballs, and they pointed out that it was obviously a yellowfin... not just due to the yellow swimlets, which you couldn't readily see, but because of the extremely long sickle fins, and the body shape. And it was a good photo, of it tailroped right above the boat deck, with people on board, and it was quite obviously as big as they claimed it weighed in at. (Including in comparison to that Dominican 480 pounder, which I saw pictures of.) The weird thing is, why are the freakishly big specimens from the Western Atlantic, when there are so few Yellowfin over 200 pounds there, compared to Mexico and Hawaii (where there aren't any giant Bluefin to confuse giant Yellowfin with, so it would seem to be telling that no 'ultra-cow' Yellowfin have been reported from)? (Though to be honest, I also once noticed a photo in the back of a local used appliance and repair store, did a double take because something seemed very improbable, and skeptically asked the woman, whose husband wasn't in, are those BLUEFIN? And she said, nope, they are Yellowfin... which is what they had looked like, except for the size... and I asked her "How BIG were those?", and she said both weighed right around 450... and I wish I had gone back in to talk to her husband, who caught both of them, on a Mexican long range boat, to confirm that they really were as big as they did indeed look. Unlikely that they were IGFA legal, and maybe Californians thought they were nothing to be proud of since a Floridian caught them, and thus nobody ever bothered to make a fuss about them. Still, I nonetheless doubt that there's ever been one in the Pacific as big as that northeastern one I mentioned... but ya never know.)
@@user-ln1up9xi4k Can't dispute THAT... though I have to admit that I couldn't keep watching after the 800 pound gorillas exaggeration, so, footage wasn't ruined for me. Maybe I'll turn the sound off and check it out.
he got his facts wrong because bluefin tuna can weigh more then 800 but the narrator said that yellowfin can weigh that much which is just hugely untrue, if you look up the biggest yellowfin tuna it says 450..... good footage though
"The Galapagos shark knows the terrain like the back of it's hand" and "the tiger sharks stripes allow it to silently stalk it's prey." Hard to believe Nat Geo signed off on such poor narration.
As a person who has fished tuna. I can tell you sharks love us. They follow boats everywhere and anything you catch and I mean anything 80% of the time it’s ripped into shreds by the time you were reel it in because of those sharks lol we never get mad at them. We are fishing in their territory. Nothing you can do
@@alexanderreyes157 maybe it was a cadaver? Would be interesting to learn about this things, environmental documentaries do have to be creative on getting various shots, but it is also not told to the viewer.
Yup I’m amazed at how they film some documentaries. Check queen of trees or something like that about a fig tree. They film the inside of a fig and the camera was already there when the small flies are trying to get inside the fig through the hole a little larger than a needle size🤓.
I thought they were in a boat and had the camera on some sort of pole in the water? Idk I just can't imagine ppl getting in the water to film with all the feeding going on.
800lb. Yellowfin? Really? 24' tiger? Really?. You can't boat a tuna without being sharked? Maybe somedays, but typically you can and they are excellent!
Can anyone provide a link to a valid confirmation of "nine foot, 800 lb" yellowfin tuna? I call BS, which is often the case of these National Geographic productions. Overly dramatic and fraught with erroneous information. The world record yellowfin is a little over 400 lbs.
Who wrote the script? Sharks have crushing teeth? Not precisely… while not inaccurate, sharks don’t rely on crushing, more accurate statement would be that sharks have very sharp teeth which cut. This makes more sense for teeth like theirs than crushing.
over dramatization of a natural occurring thing that does not help making the image of sharks any better... Making sharks look like mindless rage killing animals is not helping them with there already dwindling numbers... Check on Instagram e.g oceanRamsey and see how they are really. Don´t forget that all those shots are captured by human(s) in the water so they aren´t that savage as they are portrait here. A lot of time these film crews throw in buckets upon buckets of chum or put a fishing lure behind the boat and keep going at a speed so the sharks can´t reach it, so they get annoyed / anxious for a feed. Many of these sharks swim thousands of miles each year to get to these fishing grounds and are ready to hunt/eat.
Well it seems they dont have there facts in order in which takes away from the video Tiger sharks never get 24 feet long but the largest is around 16 feet and weighs over 2000# nat geo really ????
Because it's literally documentation of animals eating other animals. It makes sense that the narration could match the tense tone of what is actually going on...but on the other hand, I also understand your sentiment.

Depends on how you’re fishing. If you’re just trolling, you’ll get most of your tuna to the boat unless you keep catching them for a while, but if you’re chunking near structure or on bottom formations (especially with a bunch of other boats around), you’re gonna get sharked. A lot.
I keep learning of how advanced the sensory repertoire of the large sharks 🦈 is. Yet they tell us that shark attacks on humans are out of mistaken identity. Orcas on the other hand have sight and sound sensory methods to get their food. Their food is similar to the sharks' diet yet the Orcas hardly attack humans.
Superb footage but my god the over dramatised narrative using all the scary words was just infantile that with the dark music really off putting. Stick to the facts the data and the footage, that's all you need.
Galapagos Sharks don't know the Ascension Island and surrounding waters like the back of their hands. That's because they don't have hands! Also I believe bulls shark are responsible for the most attacks on humans, not Great Whites and Tiger Sharks.
Fishing off the coast of Kona I lost several Ahi Tunas to porpoises. They have excellent communication skills and took all our catches leaving only the head of the fish for us. Truly intelligent mammals .
I wonder how they film that close... 🤔 at times i get to see cameras or tracking systems attached to few in some documentaries.. but deep down, its an unbelievable experience down there with these many "live" friends....
I tend to feel the tree huggers over estimate man's hunting abilities. First off how many scientists have ever followed hunters or fishermen around and saw how many times they fail? Predators as a whole have more misses than hits. How many deer don't get shot, how many fish avoid the net, how many don't take the bait? We just assume we always get the target but I'd bet we're actually about as crappy as the other predators.
This camera 🎥 men are the bravest and craziest people on earth, nothing but respect to be in the water with food while sharks hunt. Y’all people built different
Nice vidro, but coming with very disturbing inaccuarwtecdata, a tiger shsrk does not messures 24 fett and eeight 3600 pounds, same for the tuna or galapago shark. Good video but keep it factual
Nice footage, but facts are off. They dont grow to 800 lbs, and quoting they are worth thousands of dollars for the fishermen on the boat? You need to get the fish to market in places like Tokyo or LA. Having one on a fishing boat like this out near Ascension Island will not get anything basically. You need to keep them fresh in a slurry and the ship them out ASAP, packing needs to be done correctly etc. Good eating for those on board, that is about it.
Absolutely unbearable to watch. Wrong facts, incredibly overdone dramatization and practically 40 minutes of nothing. What a waste of time for everyone involved and those who have watched this “documentary”.
I don't know if fish feel or understand fear and terror, but the 8 foot Wahoo that gets hooked by the fisherman and subsequently torn apart by sharks must've been swimming along happily one minute, and living it's worst nightmare the next. And really, I can't even imagine how terrifying and painful those last few moments must have been for that unfortunate fish. The second it bit that lure it was doomed. The hook was set and it panicked and started fighting, but that just drew the sharks, who tore into it without a moments hesitation. Funny how we can watch such violence happen to a fish and not get upset like we would if the same happened to virtually any mammal.
@@vershawnsea9219 Since even the smallest fish will flee when a bigger fish shows up, I have to lean towards 'yes' on this one. Fish react the way any animal intent on preserving it's own life would when confronted by something 'scary.' They avoid dangerous situations like any intelligent creature would, and since they can seemingly tell the difference between a barracuda on the prowl and a barracuda that's just chilling, I kinda believe that this goes beyond 'instinct.' So, yeah... Fish experience fear and terror. By contrast, that makes me wonder if they experience happiness and/or joy? Contentment or desire? Trepidation or curiosity? It sorta makes sense that if a creature experiences what has to be the most basic and primal of the emotions, they'd experience all of them, no? I don't know...this gets complicated really quickly, and I'm not a science nerd on even the most basic level. I'm an electrical technician. So I can tell you whatever you want to know about a circuit board, but the emotional capacity of fish is unknown to me. Lol. I'll admit to being curious about this one, too.
This is true of the Galapagos Shark. We have thousands of them in Hawaii and they’re the deep sea fisherman’s worse nightmare. Mostly because they travel in packs and have learned to follow fishing boats. Every so often we’d hear on the radio: “Reel’m in fast boys…lots of sharks in this school.” A big tuna is impossible to reel in fast and is always devoured by the sharks, leaving just the head. The sharks seem to know where the hook is and avoid it. One time, me and my parter were slow trolling live Opelu for Aku (small skipjack tuna) and I saw a Galapagos shark following the Aku on my line. I reeled it in and jumped it over the transom and the confused shark bit our propeller. I saw blood and teeth flying and thought he’d learned his lesson but nope. He raced in and bit the prop again. The school of tuna was so full of sharks we decided to hit the throttle and get out of there. The prop was cavitating really bad so we stopped and raised the leg to inspect it. Big teeth scratches and one blade was severely bent. It took us about four hours to limp back to shore where we had to buy a new prop. The old shark-attacked one still hangs on my partner’s living room wall today.
I think where populations of people crowd the beaches the Bull sharks are the main concerns and then comes the Tiger's and Whites. But it depends on the residents of that area that are going to be the main concerns in my analysis of what is most likely to get you in its sites.
I agree Gary, Bull sharks are the #1 threat to humans, not Tiger sharks. This show is so far below the quality and accuracy of the National Geographic shows of yesteryear as to no longer be believable, or worthy of watching.
I love seeing the fishes. But all the repeated building-up of confrontations is very annoying. Edit: 35 minutes in and the only thing that caught a tuna or two is human. Disgusting documentary.
Those tuna are not what the sharks are after. They are much too fast and warm-blooded for short sprint sharks. they are both attracted to whatever baitfish species is riding that ocean currant first, for the plankton it attracts and collects by the ton.
Isn't everything is nature either hunter or hunted? That's kinda the most basic divide when it comes fauna. I sure hope the narration gets better from here...
I. Very surprised at how much misinformation is in this documentary.from the size of the yellowfin to the simple fishermen that don't gaff the tuna as it goes by the boat.a fishermen never gives up a gaff or harpoon shot on a valuable fish.nat geo made the fishermen look like special needs 🤣

Superb footage but my god the over dramatised narrative using all the scary words was just infantile that with the dark music really off putting. Stick to the facts the data and the footage, that's all you need.
800 pound yellowfin tuna?!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
To much Hype in narration , underwater shots are first class
I'm so amazed at how people know all this about fish and sharks...it's so great to watch 🇦🇺🐨
Anyone else notice that the majority of the shots of the sharks and fish were because the crew was feeding them?
Narrator continually bored me to tears with his too specific description on all the prey and predators
Amo o Nat Geo wild.
ainda bem que posso ver no TH-cam!
lamentável que tiraram a programação da TV brasileira.
The guy nearly got killed !
Watching this making me hungry think I’ll make my self some tuna mayo pasta with sweetcorn red onion mixed peppers and spring onions 😋
"This juggernaut has the power to crush a car?" (regarding the tiger shark).
It was a ridiculous thing to say
It is not Shark vs. Tuna it is a clickbait. You see one shark rip open one tunas tummy that a fisherman is trying to reel in.
Wow animals are so lovely, cute, sweet and such an adorable😍. Do you have a pet?
I absolutely LOVE this documentary! Not only do I respect tunas more but also the predators
😊
and Tuna taste so good, I don't blame those sharks for wanting them... :)
Galapagos Sharks don't know the Ascension Island and surrounding waters like the back of their hands. That's because they don't have hands! Also I believe bulls shark are responsible for the most attacks on humans, not Great Whites and Tiger Sharks.
This is one very epic episode on Shark vs Tuna,also this narrator remains of the one from Alien Sharks.
Also I hope y'all have a great day.
Sharks vs Tuna savage?! Try people vs tuna.. no competition.
Finally the winner is Galapagos shark..😎💪
Fishing off the coast of Kona I lost several Ahi Tunas to porpoises. They have excellent communication skills and took all our catches leaving only the head of the fish for us. Truly intelligent mammals .
See my previous comment.
@@mochiebellina8190no
Fish aren’t freaking mammals
@@IntravenouslyDruggedSloth they are freaking tho
I wonder how they film that close... 🤔 at times i get to see cameras or tracking systems attached to few in some documentaries.. but deep down, its an unbelievable experience down there with these many "live" friends....
It’s absolutely horrible and obvious computer animation I don’t know how you don’t see that.
Diving cages and some free-swimming cameramen.
@@innes7953 2:24 tell me that looks like a real tuna. That’s such cgi it’s not even funny
@@TH-camhndl I like those
ROV a remote operated vehicles with state of the art under water camera with zoom capabilities.
I tend to feel the tree huggers over estimate man's hunting abilities. First off how many scientists have ever followed hunters or fishermen around and saw how many times they fail? Predators as a whole have more misses than hits. How many deer don't get shot, how many fish avoid the net, how many don't take the bait? We just assume we always get the target but I'd bet we're actually about as crappy as the other predators.
It is awesome
This camera 🎥 men are the bravest and craziest people on earth, nothing but respect to be in the water with food while sharks hunt. Y’all people built different
Orca Walks in
Boss music playing.
"The sharks know the hunting area like the becks of their hands..."
Ok, so not at all is what you're saying?
Absolutely brilliant narratives and footage! Thanks guys!
CGI footage is brilliant?
Nice vidro, but coming with very disturbing inaccuarwtecdata, a tiger shsrk does not messures 24 fett and eeight 3600 pounds, same for the tuna or galapago shark. Good video but keep it factual
Over the top narration. hahaha Although footage is collaged, it's still pretty incredible.
Ya lol he said the Galapagos Shark "knows this area like the back of his hand" 🤣
Nice footage, but facts are off. They dont grow to 800 lbs, and quoting they are worth thousands of dollars for the fishermen on the boat? You need to get the fish to market in places like Tokyo or LA. Having one on a fishing boat like this out near Ascension Island will not get anything basically. You need to keep them fresh in a slurry and the ship them out ASAP, packing needs to be done correctly etc. Good eating for those on board, that is about it.
This is why I don't go to the beach ⛱️ anymore but i have respect for these great animals
Absolutely unbearable to watch. Wrong facts, incredibly overdone dramatization and practically 40 minutes of nothing. What a waste of time for everyone involved and those who have watched this “documentary”.
I don't know if fish feel or understand fear and terror, but the 8 foot Wahoo that gets hooked by the fisherman and subsequently torn apart by sharks must've been swimming along happily one minute, and living it's worst nightmare the next.
And really, I can't even imagine how terrifying and painful those last few moments must have been for that unfortunate fish.
The second it bit that lure it was doomed. The hook was set and it panicked and started fighting, but that just drew the sharks, who tore into it without a moments hesitation.
Funny how we can watch such violence happen to a fish and not get upset like we would if the same happened to virtually any mammal.
Они созданы для использования их людьми. Конечно убивать для забавы, из-за рогов и копыт, шкур, бивней это плохо и действительно жаль.
They definitely feel fear
@@vershawnsea9219 Since even the smallest fish will flee when a bigger fish shows up, I have to lean towards 'yes' on this one.
Fish react the way any animal intent on preserving it's own life would when confronted by something 'scary.'
They avoid dangerous situations like any intelligent creature would, and since they can seemingly tell the difference between a barracuda on the prowl and a barracuda that's just chilling, I kinda believe that this goes beyond 'instinct.'
So, yeah...
Fish experience fear and terror. By contrast, that makes me wonder if they experience happiness and/or joy?
Contentment or desire?
Trepidation or curiosity?
It sorta makes sense that if a creature experiences what has to be the most basic and primal of the emotions, they'd experience all of them, no?
I don't know...this gets complicated really quickly, and I'm not a science nerd on even the most basic level.
I'm an electrical technician.
So I can tell you whatever you want to know about a circuit board, but the emotional capacity of fish is unknown to me.
Lol.
I'll admit to being curious about this one, too.
This is true of the Galapagos Shark. We have thousands of them in Hawaii and they’re the deep sea fisherman’s worse nightmare. Mostly because they travel in packs and have learned to follow fishing boats. Every so often we’d hear on the radio: “Reel’m in fast boys…lots of sharks in this school.” A big tuna is impossible to reel in fast and is always devoured by the sharks, leaving just the head. The sharks seem to know where the hook is and avoid it. One time, me and my parter were slow trolling live Opelu for Aku (small skipjack tuna) and I saw a Galapagos shark following the Aku on my line. I reeled it in and jumped it over the transom and the confused shark bit our propeller. I saw blood and teeth flying and thought he’d learned his lesson but nope. He raced in and bit the prop again. The school of tuna was so full of sharks we decided to hit the throttle and get out of there. The prop was cavitating really bad so we stopped and raised the leg to inspect it. Big teeth scratches and one blade was severely bent. It took us about four hours to limp back to shore where we had to buy a new prop. The old shark-attacked one still hangs on my partner’s living room wall today.
I think where populations of people crowd the beaches the Bull sharks are the main concerns and then comes the Tiger's and Whites. But it depends on the residents of that area that are going to be the main concerns in my analysis of what is most likely to get you in its sites.
I agree Gary, Bull sharks are the #1 threat to humans, not Tiger sharks. This show is so far below the quality and accuracy of the National Geographic shows of yesteryear as to no longer be believable, or worthy of watching.
Considering this footage, I'm surprised that anyone in the USS Indianapolis survived.
I'm wondering how they film this documentation. salute for them!
Wish we can see some FISHERWOMEN! They’re witty and fast!
Sharks aren't that aggressive against humans contrary to popular belief, so it wasn't that hard probably
I love seeing the fishes. But all the repeated building-up of confrontations is very annoying.
Edit: 35 minutes in and the only thing that caught a tuna or two is human. Disgusting documentary.
Coming soon on SyFy Channel: "Mega Shark vs. Mega Tuna"
No more silly comments please
@@russloades3328 y not?
There are so many false claims here
And I’m watching it all while enjoying a tuna fish sammich and a bowl of shark fin soup!
I'll buy a shark and put it in my country's lake
You devil you
Just like me fr
Shark and Tuna are both saltwater animals... duh...
Someone call 911. I've fallen from ROFLing so hard, and I can't get up!!
🤣 ✔ 🤣
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 if they are put in freshwater they can't die, ha ha ha ha
Yea you should choose a bull shark
Those tuna are not what the sharks are after. They are much too fast and warm-blooded for short sprint sharks. they are both attracted to whatever baitfish species is riding that ocean currant first, for the plankton it attracts and collects by the ton.
These underground moments are so incredible
Underwater in fact
Underground? Mans need to lay off da weed
I sort of feel that this could have been half the time and still more compelling. It seemed overstretched and had irrelevant information in between
i would love to see the making of... crazy how close they were😳😍
Wow animals are so lovely, cute, sweet and such an adorable😍. Do you have a pet?
Same... do they have long range camera or something..
awesome!!! video !!! Battle of the two most dominant predators in the Ocean!!!!
TUNA i Love sushi
Wow.. excellent filming! That spear fisher has some balls.
Isn't everything is nature either hunter or hunted? That's kinda the most basic divide when it comes fauna. I sure hope the narration gets better from here...
The spearman vs shark shot is worthy of being in a big budget movie!
What are the little fish that stay around sharks??
Fantastic footage brave cameramen, dramatic sequences fantastic film well done.
Nat. Geo. emulating the Discovery Channel.
Who loves shark 🦈
Intentionally done to document sharks eating tuna and competing with fishermen
The smartest animal in the kingdom will win and survive. That's also true in humans.
Wow animals are so lovely, cute, sweet and such an adorable😍. Do you have a pet?
Sport fishing and sport hunting should be a thing of the past !!!! It is dumb to hunt an animal for personal joy .
Yeah but on land if the tuna was a land animal it would amount being as fast as a Cheeta.....
And the tiger shark at their size would be the most dangerous, it'll eat elephants, and us as well.
i fear the whale on land because it would just squash everything to death
