Wow, what are the odds!
Whoa, beautiful specimen. I wonder if they ate it, turned it into a qualified organization or dumped it back in the ocean? I know I wouldn’t go near it til I was sure it was dead.
The boat caught the shark
Holy shark!
The funny thing is the song they are listening too…. Beatles “If I ever get out of here”! I’m sure that’s what the shark was currently thinking!
Its McCartney and Wings, but ok..
“We’re gonna need a bigger boat”
I enjoyed watching the video
Later on that day that shark went back to tell it’s buddies he got abducted by some aliens…
You can’t park there
Let’s all laugh and make jokes as he suffocates hahaha. The lack of effort to help this guy makes me pretty grossed out especially since it’s being videotaped
😢
Other stories said he wriggled back into the ocean somehow, wish I could find a video
You can go ahead and get injured when it happens to you but don’t volunteer others to be injured when you’re not there.
Go ahead hug the shark.
While sad, only a real darwin achievement winner would go near that thing
It came flying in like a dam sharknato 🌪🦈
“Gone Fishing”
Poor shark must saw Galadriel crossing the sea in her way to Middle-Earth and there was no option for him but to jump on the boat.
