You can hear trigger fish crunching on coral. Decades I was in the Maldives with a bit of bread. I had a bikini on and a mole on my belly. A smallish fish tried to bite it. I got out of the water because all I could think about was a trigger fish taking a chunk out of me. 🤣

They can bite chunks off your swimming fins. Like someone has said, they're generally okay, but if they tilt to one side, give them a wide berth, they're 2 to 2 1/2 feet long and could easily remove a finger !
I have to admit impressive devotion - you have kept filming during vigorous retreat. And did a great job even at the risk of loosing fingers or else what!
To be honest I was absolutely not thinking about filming anymore, just defending myself with the stick 😂 But thanks! I didn’t expect it to look this fine
"Take your mask and your bubbles and GTF outta here!" 5 seconds later. "Hey, human. I ain't playin'! Don't make me call the piranhas!!" [Yeah yeah. I know they are freshwater fish.]
Just watched your video after having had similar experience here in Maldives on vacation 😅 Had to figure out how harmful their bite could be, but I was only rammed by one on my elbow, no bite. They are just so aggressive.
😄 welcome to the club ! I was so confused about what happened that I had to google it too and indeed, their bites can be nasty. But no bite for me either, only got laughed at by friends when I told them that I was attacked by a fish haha
Lol, I’m in the Maledives right now and I knew about triggerfish’s aggression before so I warned my dad about them. He just laughed it off and told me I’m paranoid. Today he told me one of these exact fishes chased him. Should’ve listened 😂😂
I've seen them take bites out of hard coral, including the rock, not just the polyps. They have big solid teeth -- like a dog's teeth, although not quite as sharp. If one actually bit someone, I think it would cause a serious injury. But in my experience they usually do what this one did, and just charge without biting.
Good for you for never turning your back. I’ve been diving for none and a none half years, and I can tell you it takes every ounce of will not to turn around and just run.
@@gabrielc4136 trigger fish is one of the most dangerous encounters you can have as a diver in places like egypt. Possibly more dangerous than most sharks. They can bite off huge pieces of flesh and make you bleed out or bite off fingers or toes.
Male trigger fish are hyper territorial, as a global diver, I have had similar experiences in Maui with Huma-huma's. They were about 15 inches long and I'll tell ya what, if triggers got as big as some larger sharks, 5ft+, man would have a hard time reef diving.
Overall, a good video from a first time visitor. On the downside, I need the name and number to your solicitor/attorney. I had such a panic attack hearing the Jaws music I passed out at my desk and cut my head open on a misplaced pair of scissors. SInce I don't want to be responsible for my own actions I figure I'll sue you. For a very good 2 minutes of my time I thank you for sharing. Mike
And I thank you for watching and sharing your experience. Words can’t express how sorry I am to hear about your unfortunate incident, however, I seek your understanding in suing the one and only culprit: Mr Titan Triggerfish.

I used to have an aquarium once, and bought a similar fish like that one. It was straight up gangsta, killed everything in sight. I had to put it in a different small little aquarium just for him. But I think he got depressed, cause he used to bury himself in the stones at the bottom and just lie there. It was more blueish and reddish colour.(of African descent I believe..)In the big tank I had goldfish and suckers. The suckers were the coolest ones….😊
You don’t want to feel that bite. I had a Grey Trigger bite me through my rash guard a couple years back. He was shot and strung up on my gun. I shot another one and while fighting the other fish he was able to get behind me and bite me on my shoulder blade. I thought I had swam into a coral on the rigs. Was shocked it wasn’t bleeding. Little pit bulls of the sea

I've snorkeled in St. Croix several times and don't recall ever seeing these. I did however see several Baracuda that seemed to get closer to me whenever I looked back. 😨

That spine chilling Jaws theme was extremely impressive.
Until, at 1:15, a section of flutists entered the building for no reason and thought it was an E.T. rehearsal.

I used to keep triggerfish in my aquarium. They are straight up hoodlums and the coolest fish ever.
I did too! He fit in nicely with my Wrass and Puffer. Everyone left him alone cause he was a bad boy in the tank.
We had to give away our pink tail after it killed a few of our other fish.
the thing that always scares me about tropical fish is they spend their day nibbling coral so imagine how sharp their beak must be...
I just can think of Dory: "You got a problem, buddy? Do ya, do ya, do ya?" XD
This is no joke, they have a nasty bite. Imagine being in the water with this fast moving thing that can actually hurt you.
yeah they're basically a hole puncher with a body
80% of this video is a really nice soundtrack and a strangely good ability to swim backwards
😂 thanks
I thought the soundtrack is from the Predator movie
@@lly_09 Jaws
@@sergiodelrioreyes7655 oh, didn't know that, thanks anyways
The fish was fanning its eggs in the coral (facing downward before the attack). . . you got too close to the nest
Youre right bro. Its protecting the eggs .

What did you do to trigger it?
Seemed a little Fishey to me.

First half of Jaws music gets the job done, feels like jaws. Second half always sounds like star trek to me xD
"You go in the cage"
"Cage goes in the water "
You go in the water"
"Triggerfish is in the water"
"Our Triggerfish"
"Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies"

Robert Shaw was great in that Jaws movie ! As the whole movie was well done.

Queen Trigger took a hunk out of a friends palm while in a nylon bag at the weigh station. Lesson learned.
are they always triggerred?
I have to admit impressive devotion - you have kept filming during vigorous retreat. And did a great job even at the risk of loosing fingers or else what!
I mean you might as well put the camera between its teeth and your skin.
@@Spartiatai300 but he kept the camera steady . I would have got a terrible vid by trying to use the camera as a stick
To be honest I was absolutely not thinking about filming anymore, just defending myself with the stick 😂
But thanks! I didn’t expect it to look this fine
you think that thing can sever a finger?
@hazardeur, that "thing" can bite off and pulverize pieces of a reef pretty easily. so, a finger shouldn't be a big problem .. 😉

@@sanne1261 On your phone in the Maladives😔.
Titan or not, triggerfish are the worst. Been bitten by a small one, and it was no walk in the park.
Love how the camera guy can swim backwards while filming and swimming for his life (in his mind).
Mondays, am I right?
you can use this music?
"Ooooo...hello little fishy. Ohh sh*****!"
Man how good is that music? John Williams genius .
Triggerfish are amazing one of my favorites. Great footage.
That's some "GET OFF MY BLOCK" energy.
Good for you for never turning your back. I’ve been diving for none and a none half years, and I can tell you it takes every ounce of will not to turn around and just run.
Imagine getting chased away by the least scary looking fish in the whole ocean 😂😂😂
its one of the most aggressive and dangerous fish, big mouth
All fun and games until it actually bites you with those huge teeth. I ve been chased by a bigger one than this one and it's pretty terrifying
@@gabrielc4136 trigger fish is one of the most dangerous encounters you can have as a diver in places like egypt. Possibly more dangerous than most sharks. They can bite off huge pieces of flesh and make you bleed out or bite off fingers or toes.
Honestly, these are way scarier than sharks. Even more so during spawning season, titans will take chunks out of you.
@chaletzilla dude these fish arent scary like a hororor movie they are ACTUALLY dangerous

I loved this, actually laughed out loud, that little fish is fierce and tenacious, the Jaws music put it over the top. 🐠🐠🐟🐟🐡🐡🦈🦈
Triggerfish: "Is that a camera?"
That music would make a Lace Guppy seem ominous.
I laughed so hard 😂 bro was coming in for more *wheeze*
😂
Add the Jaws Soundtrack to ANY video = instant, intense drama. Amazing how that works.
Great choice of music
That fish got triggered
We have one of these in our tank and it would literally kill all the other fish if we had not relocated it
my primal instincts are telling me to get into the water and 1v1 the fish...
Is it poisonous ?
How can you untrigger the triggerfish ?!?! 😄
Gee, I wonder what got that fish so triggered?
what movie the music from ? predator ?

With my luck, he’d be cleverly chasing me toward a tiger shark.
Well it could have just been a small diver and the fish was thinking " oh look it's a shrimp🦐"... 🤣
I laughed the whole time with the music
Loool
My guy doesn’t play 😂
Somehow this fish always makes me think of super Mario world… those underwater levels were traumatic.
I can ultimately agree.
At first glance I thought it looked exotic but after those attacks, I realized that it looks delicious!
The music is very appropriate.
That triggerfish meant business!
😂 I experienced it like I was literally in Jaws

Nesting season they think they are a Great White. 🦈
What triggered it?
Even fish are sick of people. 😂
That's my hand in the aquarium, when my clown fish attacks me...
The cameraman just to close to her territory, she does oxygenated her precious eggs on that coral
Isn't this the soundtrack from predator??
The music killed the moment! Enough already!!
You can say this fish got … triggered! 😏
Those 70s 80s sound tracks were amazing.
A mini jaw is coming! 🤣🤣🙏🙏
Is he alive? 😮
You know what I call that?
DINNER.

Ya know, I would be freaking out if that was a great white, but this gold fish attack...I dunno.
Alex?
Bro was like tf you doing in my reef?

You triggered the fish, mate.
I'm sorry but that would have been it's last charge because that fish would have been dinner
Chewsday innit?
Don't trigger the Triggerfish.
Mean while the camera man doesn’t see the other one he is backing into. It’s a trap! The fish is smart! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
can someone link the timestamp when the fish attacked? all i saw was it swimming back and forth.
Yes, but are they tasty?
He should be glad that he did not end up in the frying pan.
I've snorkeled in St. Croix several times and don't recall ever seeing these. I did however see several
Baracuda that seemed to get closer to me whenever I looked back. 😨
They are often more curious than agressive but they still can be dangerous !
You also need to avoid shiny objects (like a watch), it attracts them 😉
Yay, the fish won. It would've been funny if a shark showed up when the music got intense.
Dude hates Paparazzi
The cutest attack and charger at the camera man he must be shaking like a leaf for sure.
That’s happened to me many years back , I’d only been diving a couple of years I found it quite unnerving .
Boy howdy, you done pissed him off. 😂😂😂
Triggerfish are no joke. They can crack skulls open.
Yeah one bite and your torso is gone
@@TrevorCola-yn4xl😁😂🤣
It’s a beautiful fish!
really is!

lol the Jaws music track…aggressive though!
Say, "hi fearless fish. Ever seen a hawaiian sling before".
This the reason i hate things touching my feet in the ocean
Why speed it up!?
Check your playback speed settings maybe, because it’s not speed it up 😄
Different music and it could be 'Triggerfish ls Curious About Me.'.
Triggerfish got triggered
