Well to the original comment, to be fair these are Basking Sharks which are not only 100% harmless to humans (hey couldn’t be if they tried because they aren’t even physically capable of swallowing you, their throats are too small), but actually kinda friendly.☺️ To the second reply down from OP, funny enough Whale Sharks aren’t whales or sharks!

BurrowingBunny okay first little kid how are you post to know if he is pretending and 2nd if your here to try and “flex” then what about you be brave and drink Clorox and 3rd like imagine commenting on a 3 years old comment
They're oars😂. A traditional type of oar designed for the currach because the currach is designed to be used on open rough water and to be operated by 3 to 6 men at a time. Square oars are less likely to be dragged in by rough water so the boat is less likely to flip
Deacon Casey eeeeh still looks like two giant sticks, that thins out at the ends. But it doesn't seem to widen into a proper paddle (that I've seen) 😂 I mean, he got all the way out there, so he should be able to get back with the roughly made oars 🤣
Deacon Casey I suppose so. Though at the very end there you can see the full length of the oars. Honestly the only paddles/oars I've seen are the ones in Walmart, Cabella's, and Pro Bass. 😂
I met 3 of them off the coast of Sherkin Island back in 2011. They were the biggest wild animals I've ever seen and I'll never forget it. It's such a shame we didn't get good video of it.
Most big fish are filter feeders or eat only plants. That’s why they get so big, because they can eat way more and don’t use energy for hunting. Look at Sturgeon for instance, one of the biggest freshwater fish species. It sucks crap off the bottom of lakes.

Whale sharks are exactly the same but more common and even bigger

What a beautiful shot. Also lol at the guy rowing with the 2x4s he nicked of some construction site.

For such giants they are such docile creatures. What a thrilling experience too be that close.

They're such beautiful gentle souls.
this guy’s pure wonder & happiness at seeing such amazing animals up close… infectious! ♥️
basking sharks are so calm!
they even made the shark pog meme

I would love to have a green tea while sitting on that boat listening to the sounds they are making on the water.
Jamming with nature🥰🥰🥰
Wow Such a Gentle energy this Shark has. Thank You for sharing this.
こんなのに遭遇したら気絶する自信ある
This is so satisfying to watch! The water is so soothing and the commentary is the little cherry on top.
Nothing is more cheering than seeing such magnificent animals. 😍🥰
This is the level of serenity and hapiness I want in my life. That dude is awesome.
He sounds like a hobbit
Or he's Irish. I sound like a Hobbit when an accent pops up
Ireland is a land of hobbit and pubs lad
@Aaron Morgan if yer Irish then why tf u using foot ye ejit
Aaron Morgan highly doubt that lol
Looks like one too
A happy man enjoying sharks. Very wholesome.
Never have I heard or seen these majestic creatures. Thanks for the VID.
That's a beautiful looking boat!
I love basking sharks, they are my favourite shark in the world, I'm so glad we have a good healthy population of them here in Ireland
We gotta appreciate nature more, it’s so beautiful 🌎
I like how the cameraman switches from sitting in the boat to flying 20 feet in the air to vary up the shots. Now that's a dedicated cameraman.
Everybody gangsta till the basking shark says...
S H A R K P O G
What's that mean?
Lmao I just realized that the basking sharks look like axolotls swimming in water from a birds pov lol
what?
Oh yeah 🤣 i see it
That or japanese giant salamanders
Why's this guy paddling with 2x4's? 0:34
Justin Crick
Probably home made paddles
Lol
Reason why he’s Irish
Another thing you've got to experience when you're in Ireland.
Justin Crick I thought the same thing 😂
Excellent commentary, love the sharks and the home made boat too.
Everyone talking about the sharks and no one noticed he's using two chop sticks to paddle his boat? lol
Yeah absolutely “No one” not even the top comment that u noticed it from.
Boaz Scheers thank you for saying something
Yeah obviously no one is talking about it, it’s not like one of the top comments said the exact same thing
It's what they use in Ireland, normal paddles were outlawed in the 80s there
What a beatiful creature
Truly a magnificent creature. I would love to get the chance to see one up close some day.
Everyone gangsta until the basking shark decides to change it’s menu
Nah mate they would choke on us their throats get so small that a basketball couldn’t fit in them
I really hope ocean conservation efforts get improved. I would hate to lose these peaceful giants.
That's so cool I wish I could see them in real life :D
They are so docile and strange looking. It kills me when people start screaming GREAT WHITE! MEGALODON! OML. Thank you. This was fabulous. Those drone shots and the one right next to you are priceless!🙏🏼🩶🦈🎄
So beautiful and peaceful! 😊
For those wondering, the name of this gentleman is Colin Stafford-Johnson
Everyone on the shore usually;” omg. It’s a megladon!!!!!” 🤪😂
These sharks aren't that big
I swam with whale sharks last week so I can totally appreciate this!
I wish this video was longer like few hours so I could play this on my TV in my bedroom and just fall asleep while I watch it
Beautiful love my country Éire
Me and the boys when we are hungry:
mmmm, when im hungry i totally go into the water and swim eating plankton
Beautiful creatures and view!
The thumbnail made it seem like a damn wooden box with the guy inside
The shark is pogging
Pretend this is your "SHARK POG" ticket.
Incredible, 3 Basking 🦈 all at the same time at once. Basking 🦈 is the 2nd biggest 🦈 behind the Whale 🦈.
this dude is darn lucky to be watching this live!!
Beautiful 💖✌🏼
deve ser inesquecível estar ao lado de criaturas tão gigantescas e inofensivas
When I saw the thumb nail I thought it was a game or sum lol great footage
This looks so relaxing all he needs is a joint and it’s paradise👌🏼
Wow, it's like a size of a boat :O
They can grow over 10 meters in length - second-largest fish on Earth, currently. (Leedsicthys and C. megalodon were bigger, probably others, but they're extinct, so...)
a basking shark looks like me when im eating food
Ireland is so amazing even the sharks are magical!!!!
What a calm and buitiful life
I'd like to give one a hug.
Nice oars.
Absolutely awesome!
This is amazing
It’s literally the underwater dragon from how to train your dragon lol
Satisfying
"I don't think it's a basking shark bro"
Its a gift to see these magnificent creatures
What beautiful creatures.
That oar has the worst design I have ever seen, It seems that they put all the effort on makeing the inner part ergonomic for the hand and then realized the stick they started with wasn't wide enough to carb the spoon and the leave it like that just a fancy stick
Nope
What I would give for just having a moment with these beautiful creatures god that looks so cool
So amazing to see such a large animal so clearly and so close in its natural habitat! Wonder what the first people who saw them thought! They’re massive!
Imagine not seeing them and just swimming straight through a big one and out the “other side”
What a beautiful thing to see what God created in the ocean
Sharks are so beautiful, i love them
These sharks are really majestic, love them very much hope I get to swim with them one day
オーマイガー!
