For years my wife and I have spent a week in Destin Florida... I used to swim out to the dark water every year... Haven't sence sharks happen came out.... Lol.... Thx Hal!
This is God's truth. Before the movie Jaws in the late 60's we would go to Dayton beach and spend all day on those short rental rafts in water over our heads, riding the rafts and body surfing. I can remember standing at the surf's edge and with the lifeguards closing the beach to swimmers because there were sharks in the shallows. I can remember standing there watching their fins go around and around, thrashing back and forth and my only emotion was being pissed off because I couldn't get into the water. Never for a half a nano-second did it cross my mind that I would ever be bitten by a shark. After maybe after 30 min to an hour after the shark fins were no longer sighted, we'd all be back in the water past the breakers just happy as clams that we could get back out raft and body surfing. When I saw the opening scenes from Jaws, around the mid-seventies, I almost passed out and have never felt comfortable in salt water since.
every year there is a huge gathering of black tip reef sharks around daytona; the black tips gather for a migration of stingrays, and probably for mating. great whites and bull sharks arrive as well, they're there for the black tips.
Another great show, Hal! Your channel should have anywhere from 500,000 to 1,000,000 subs by now. It’s truly reprehensible what they have done to you and your channel. But don’t ever quit, you have an army of die-hard aficionados.
Another great video Hal. The tuna fisherman here was more fortunate than Mark Knittle in Hawaii and it's been about 15mo he went overboard hooking a tuna and nothing recovered as of yet.
I wonder why it is that the censors have now twice removed my entirely innocent humorous comment. Maybe it’s because I wrote your screen name. The only other interesting words were maven and contract bridge.
There is a golf course in Australia which had documented bull sharks in the lake/water hazard with a documented size of 2.7 meters and that wasn’t the largest shark. They lived there for 17 years documented. Go check it out😉
Carbrook Golf club. The sharks were stranded after major flooding. What I like is the golf course adopted the sharks, they lived off the fish in the pond and people feeding them meat. The golf course changed their logo to be a shark, they have a junior sharks golf program. They capitalised on it for sure!
Peace! Awesome Channel…Kauai is a magnificent & gorgeous Island 🏝️..I’ve had the pleasure to travel there twice…however the locals will tell you stories of encounters with the Tiger Shark..thankfully I didn’t go into the ocean 🌊…Tiger Sharks 🦈 no way…
That’s so unlucky. If it hit anywhere else you’d have a ridiculously more substantial chance at survival. Once it hits that femoral artery, it’s pretty much over for you. Would be an awful way to go because you get like a minute before you’re completely gone. 🤯
It's a stressful day for me Hal I moved in a two bed house which anyone can say it's stressful. But then when goin to unload my car my starter to my car was out. I tried messing with it it turned on for a moment I got my things of course it's Sunday I can't bring it in. But was a rollercoaster. I'm happy that u uploaded I can relax n take a break. ❤thank u Hal stay blessed. 🦈
crawl underneath and c heck the power wire to the starter.check for loseness,pull on it,look for corrosion,green white,THEN check the wires to the battery FROM the starter.tug FIrmELY on the wires,and battery posts.
Nearly invisible corrosion will develop a very thin film on the battery posts. Had a car just die going down the interstate. Later a sister stopped by my house, shut her car off for a few minutes and it was stone dead. Both cases were that thin film crap but both were cured with a few minutes of steel brushing. There's more stories but a sudden loss of electrical ....check the battery posts.
It is amazing that Peter Benchley wrote Jaws without knowing much about sharks. His book Shark Life tells how he came about to write Jaws and his adventures in scuba diving (after he wrote Jaws) -it is an edge of your seat must read!
If a bull shark is in brackish water, the lack of salt wouldn't make them dehydrated. The opposite would happen due to osmosis. However, bull sharks of all ages can osmoregulate so can tolerate any salinity. Research suggests that the limiting factor for adult bull sharks living in fresh water is availability of sufficient food. It is thought to be that which drives adolescent bulls out to sea. I don't know about how much food would be available in brackish water, though. I surmise it is dependent on the size of the river/estuary, local geology and topography, pollution levels, tides, season, and many other factors...
I grew up on the Atlantic. Luckily never a bite... I'm one city N of New Smyrna Beach... Shark bite capital. Now, I have both knees totally replaced. The waves hitting my knees knock me over & it feels like a baseball bat, to the knees. We're now seeing big ole gators passing through the Atlantic. So, it's just cement ponds for this gal!!
Hi Hal, I met several South Africans in Hawaii back in the 80's. The were black and told me how great the beaches were in Hawaii which lead me to ask them about back in S.A. That's when I heard they only got to use the crappy beaches because they were black! Very uncool. They were members of a band called African Sunrise. All of them great guys. If any of you see this it's Mike from YWAM Honolulu! Hope you all are doing well🙋
They were probably telling you the truth, although I would be surprised if Petrus Sithole was swimming in dangerous waters because he was black, as the black swimming areas also generally had shark nets and barriers to keep sharks out. What probably happened is he thought the white section of Margate Beach was nicer for swimming than the black one, but wasn't allowed in the white swimming area, so he ended up swimming in between the two swimming areas where there was zero protection. Very sad case, and a good reason for anyone to rather stick to swimming in areas which are netted in, even if the netted in areas aren't so nice. Unfortunately many of South Africa's beaches (particularly on the east coast) are now not very nice at all, and you are quite liable to either find you are swimming in horrifically polluted water now, or are quite open to being mugged. EDIT: just putting this comment in, in case anyone is tempted to think the South African government of the time did not put shark nets or barriers in at black or non-white beaches.
@@iwaswrongabouteveryhthing Not only South Africa m8,Britain,Australia,New Zealand etc.White/lighter skinned people appear to be getting punished in their home countries for what others,mostly non related,did in the past. WE should all start squealing and playing the 'racist' game,see how far we'll get. It all comes from the United Republic of America via red communism and countries that got their arses served up to them in past 'wars'. The truth ALWAYS hurts.
Thank you Hal for your extremely informative fact packed show. Another unprecedented display of dedication and thoroughness! I hope I get to meet you someday and play a round of golf... better yet why don't we go snorkeling... probably not. Anyhow thank 24:30llls again for your outstanding work.
I watched a documentary about a week ago apparently they say great White Sharks have been seen in England whether it's true not sure but I still wouldn't take a chance I live in Australia and I refuse to step foot in the water
Let me first start by saying thank you for your show 💖 I have lived in Florida off and on my whole life since the 1970s started originally swimming on Jacksonville Beach as a child.. I will definitely agree with everybody who has been struck by a shark but not bitten as I was not bitten.. but I was slammed into two times in the space of about 20 seconds.. and at the time I was a larger person well over 200 lb and I was stuck in the mud up to my knees in the rivers leading to pine Island beach in spring Hill Florida and the second hit literally blasted me up out of the quick mud and I was able to get back into the boat and rescue... But it literally felt like I had been hit by a car going at at least 15 miles an hour.. and I have not been in the ocean since 😢 this happened to me well over 15 years ago and I still have the scars on my stomach and on my back....🦈 #1.... Human DEFINITELY #2. And the craziest part of all of this is bull sharks DNA is programmed to bump and bite and it did not bite me even though it's slammed into me two times!!!! I love sharks and I love all of Mother Nature's Creatures... But in the sea and in the brackish water which is where I was the sharks definitely rule.. us humans would be wise to not forget that!!!!
And I've even swam several times at New Smyrna Beach both as a child and an adult and never had so much as a brush that incident scared me so badly I have not been in the ocean in 10 years although I would love to go back I'm just terrified the next time the gods and goddesses of the sea are going to say we already told you not to be here LOL
Hal, when I googled Serame Sithole I found the first article state that it was a 3M (10’) Great White based on the tooth fragments. Good info for you records. Thought it would have been bigger but 10 feet is plenty big enough
Fyi, Casino Beach aka Pensacola Beach is Bull shark central. And its so tempting to go out to the sandbars because the rays and turtles congregate there. Thanks Hal.
My sister and I used to swim way out from the beach. We’d go way out past the sand bars. Water skied the bay, the beach, Quiet Side, the bayous and rivers. One day, my sister and I were swimming quite a ways out and my parents were on the beach, waving for us to come in. We commented that they were party poopers…and then…in very deep water, about ten feet apart…we both kicked something really hard…we swam back to shore, and when we got back, dad said nothing, aa he never wanted us to be afraid. Jaws did it for me. I’ll just stick with Minnesota.
Another great show Hal. 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈 I think I know the video of the hammerhead chasing something swimming to that guy to try and use him as cover that you're talking about. The description of Petra Rijoes wounds do make it sound like the shark bit her while the tube she was on was still in motion.
I love the footage on this show, I’m always having to rewind and listen again because I’m paying more attention to the sharks on the screen. And that wall behind Hal too, I’d love to have that in one of my rooms. Great show visually as well as the straight forward and honest story telling. Addictive.
🤘🦈🤘Great episode as always Hal. Yea that’s extremely sad about the black man and how chances are he may had been alright if allowed inside the barrier. That is heart breaking to think about. 🙏
Another awesome video Hal. Thank you for taking your time and energy to make these even when UA-cam is royalty screwing their creators. 🙄 Youre my favorite content creator by far! 🖤
@@elainepatterson5249 My buddy saw one in a swamp near his house. We tried to catch it. You can guess the rest. I was only 23 and still fearless. Spent 6 days in a hospital and that was the worst part for me, but the initial shock was pretty intense. The funny part is that those are so rare here that the hospital people didn't believe me even though my arm was swollen up to 2x it's normal size. They figured it out.
Anytime you're being pulled on the surface, if there are any predators in the area, they will make a B-line for the disturbance on the surface, so you become a human lure/ plug.Another great show Hal.
Hal, you need to do a book. All of your good information needs to be documented, preserved and shared. It has the potential to save hundreds of lives and injuries!
I went to the Philippines on holiday with my girl and her parent's. A private resort, lovely beaches. Anyway i rented a canoe and was assured it was safe, nothing there that can harm you and didnt see any big fish. Anyway went to the bar that night and the barman (a local) told me their are definitely sharks and salt water crocs in that water. The person renting the canoes said there was nothing to worry about and couldnt take my cash fast enough. But the barman told me there is a reason no locals go into the water on that part of the beach. Boring story but when many of us are on holiday we see the ocean and how beautiful it is but have no idea what the hell is lurking out there. I am much more caution about getting in the water after hearing storys from that guy about missing locals who didnt come out of the water. Im pretty sure the local government's in places like that cover things up so as not to impact tourism and income.
Hal, I honestly don’t know how you kept saying Mr Sithole’s name with a straight face 😂 Surely it took you many takes to not fuk it up? 😂😂😂 Cheers mate 🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺
Addicted to these videos! Found this channel a month ago now every sat & sun morning i watch 5-6 videos...i live close to ocean city maryland and always hear of great whites pinging off of assateague or Chincoteague but never seem to have many shark sightings though probaly hush hush due to tourist destination...my kids occasionally swim in the Chesapeake bay and im always nervous thinking about bull sharks...wonder what the odds actually are?...
Getting into the water off of the Eastern Cape coast is madness, especially at Port St John's. Its one of the few areas globally where the big 3 (Great white, tiger and bull sharks) frequent. Also has an unusually high fatality rate
Hal, it would be very interesting if you were to do a video on what people should do if they find themselves in the water with various species of shark.
@@tonimartine7985 My body has a built in defense mechanism: when the dark goes for me, like an octopus or squid I shall release a cloud of something foul smelling and evil into the water, thereby totally making myself unappetising to the errant great white or bull shark. Unfortunately this does not work with tiger sharks, as they eat everything they can see.
Thank you Hal for another episode. I've been told by so many that I shouldn't let my "fear" keep me from doing what I love......these people compare that driving a car has dangers. Yes it's true, but I know I am a very good driver, I drive defensively. In the ocean, I'm a good swimmer, but so much danger is unseen, under the water, and unknown currents and conditions. Swimming defensively is not even close to driving a car... a car accident is truly an accident.....being attacked and mauled/consumed by a shark is personal. IMO.
Hall can you please align the posters and the clock on the back so that they are perpendicular with the camera frame? They look cool, but damn my OCD kicks really hard when I see them like that. Great vid as always
Those Sharks are amazing jumping into the air they must be protected they are intelligent and people can stay out of the stupid shark cages and stop polluting the sea. 🦈
Serame’s story sounds like the same kind of devastating attack that Simon Nellist had, except nobody could get to Simon quickly enough to get him into shore.😢
The great part is . .you will probably survive kayak as the whites just toss it and leave you alone , even to get back into it, just don't go super deep lol
I actually heard that they might be watching us surf . .that they play riding the waves at night, I think it was found to be happening somewhere . .pretty funny. I almost went surfing with some smurfiness going on one midnight summer . .won't be doing that again, didn't was stopped by a local cop I thought was a dick then . I laud him, now . .lol been night surfing as extra innings . Man , you will likely never catch me doing that s_&t ever 😂again . .like ever . .
Great vid as always. I actually like when you mention the race of the person. It makes the story more interesting and deep. Discussing race isnt a bad thing unless someone makes it that way. Still humans at the end of the day. White, black, asian, it really doesnt matter to a 20ft killer fish lol

I'll never swim out to the sand bar ever again. Thanks Hal.
I’m with you, I’ll hang back with one of those drinks with the little umbrella ☔️ and play on the beach!
Avoid sandbars and jettys at all costs. Predators hang around then
@@JustaGirlinCleveland ditto. Pools are good enough for me for swimming. Toes in no more than ankle deep to cool off if nec.
😂😭
@@alebroker7587
Smaller fish hang around them which brings in the bigger fish that prey on the smaller fish.
For years my wife and I have spent a week in Destin Florida... I used to swim out to the dark water every year... Haven't sence sharks happen came out.... Lol.... Thx Hal!
"It's a sandbar, we're safe" is probably something I would have thought a long time ago.

I was a Southern California surfer girl in 1975 when Jaws came out. I wish I never saw that movie but I still surf.
Beautiful killing machines!

@@MeadeSkeltonMusicEverything else says we don’t
I lived on Oahu for 10 years. That attack in Hawaii is 90% a tiger shark.
Thats what I'm thinking too
Yep lived there for 4 years 💯
Personal friend of smiley the optometrist from northern Cali whose wife saw the entire attack from the balcony
I knew the guy.
When I think of how many times I used to swim out to the sandbars in Florida. Until I saw Jaws. Thank you 💛 Hal
Better call Hal
Your videos have reinforced my reasons for swimming only in a swimming pool!!
Great show Hal! This is why I don't get in the ocean anymore and I can't imagine being attacked by a shark 🦈

I love the footage on this show, I’m always having to rewind and listen again because I’m paying more attention to the sharks on the screen. And that wall behind Hal too, I’d love to have that in one of my rooms. Great show visually as well as the straight forward and honest story telling. Addictive.
Still re-watching..
Tardigrades!
Great video thanks hal for sharing your brilliant work 👍
Love every format you post. Thanks Hal.
🤘🦈🤘Great episode as always Hal. Yea that’s extremely sad about the black man and how chances are he may had been alright if allowed inside the barrier. That is heart breaking to think about. 🙏
Another great show Hal 😊
This is the only shark channel i trust
Thank you Hal, best shark info channel on youtube
Hal I Love that white and red sweatshirt you are wearing in this episode!
Keep up the good work Hal…always look forward to these
Another awesome video Hal. Thank you for taking your time and energy to make these even when UA-cam is royalty screwing their creators. 🙄 Youre my favorite content creator by far! 🖤
Your insight is most usually Very good, brother Hal. Appreciate You. Lm/
Weirdest injury I ever got was a rattlesnake bite. I'll take that over a shark bite any day.
Ouch! What happened?
@@elainepatterson5249 My buddy saw one in a swamp near his house. We tried to catch it. You can guess the rest. I was only 23 and still fearless. Spent 6 days in a hospital and that was the worst part for me, but the initial shock was pretty intense. The funny part is that those are so rare here that the hospital people didn't believe me even though my arm was swollen up to 2x it's normal size. They figured it out.
Anytime you're being pulled on the surface, if there are any predators in the area, they will make a B-line for the disturbance on the surface, so you become a human lure/ plug.Another great show Hal.
Thanks Hal!
How ironic for the shark 🦈 Great show Hal
Hal, you need to do a book. All of your good information needs to be documented, preserved and shared. It has the potential to save hundreds of lives and injuries!
I went to the Philippines on holiday with my girl and her parent's. A private resort, lovely beaches. Anyway i rented a canoe and was assured it was safe, nothing there that can harm you and didnt see any big fish. Anyway went to the bar that night and the barman (a local) told me their are definitely sharks and salt water crocs in that water. The person renting the canoes said there was nothing to worry about and couldnt take my cash fast enough. But the barman told me there is a reason no locals go into the water on that part of the beach. Boring story but when many of us are on holiday we see the ocean and how beautiful it is but have no idea what the hell is lurking out there. I am much more caution about getting in the water after hearing storys from that guy about missing locals who didnt come out of the water. Im pretty sure the local government's in places like that cover things up so as not to impact tourism and income.
That's the reason the Russian guy died in Egypt.. Hurguda beach
Thank you Hal.
I haven’t been in the sea since the Jaws film, and I don’t plan to go in any day soon
Great show. Keep them coming.
Hal, I honestly don’t know how you kept saying Mr Sithole’s name with a straight face 😂
Surely it took you many takes to not fuk it up? 😂😂😂
Cheers mate 🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺
Addicted to these videos! Found this channel a month ago now every sat & sun morning i watch 5-6 videos...i live close to ocean city maryland and always hear of great whites pinging off of assateague or Chincoteague but never seem to have many shark sightings though probaly hush hush due to tourist destination...my kids occasionally swim in the Chesapeake bay and im always nervous thinking about bull sharks...wonder what the odds actually are?...
Getting into the water off of the Eastern Cape coast is madness, especially at Port St John's. Its one of the few areas globally where the big 3 (Great white, tiger and bull sharks) frequent. Also has an unusually high fatality rate
Paddleboards new fear unlocked
Hal, it would be very interesting if you were to do a video on what people should do if they find themselves in the water with various species of shark.
Swim fast...really fast. 🤔
@@tonimartine7985 My body has a built in defense mechanism: when the dark goes for me, like an octopus or squid I shall release a cloud of something foul smelling and evil into the water, thereby totally making myself unappetising to the errant great white or bull shark. Unfortunately this does not work with tiger sharks, as they eat everything they can see.
Hi Hal. Sjeez i just love your show. ❤ Just want to help with Sithole pronounsiation🙈 Si tho lê. The th is pronounced like the th in thelma. 🙈🤗🤗💖
Thank you Hal for another episode. I've been told by so many that I shouldn't let my "fear" keep me from doing what I love......these people compare that driving a car has dangers. Yes it's true, but I know I am a very good driver, I drive defensively. In the ocean, I'm a good swimmer, but so much danger is unseen, under the water, and unknown currents and conditions. Swimming defensively is not even close to driving a car... a car accident is truly an accident.....being attacked and mauled/consumed by a shark is personal. IMO.
Hall can you please align the posters and the clock on the back so that they are perpendicular with the camera frame? They look cool, but damn my OCD kicks really hard when I see them like that. Great vid as always
Lol…. Yes, a parallax going on there so i will have ti have them crooked in studio
Hey Hal, we overdue a cat story?❤
😂agree
Educational regarding bull sharks!
Hey, there's a good story by Rick Bettua on how he was attacked by a bull shark in Australia on 'The Captain' youtube channel
I was at Casino beach last summer, sharks were always visible from the fish pier..
19:23 If he thought he was anchored to the boat and the charter company failed to do that, they could liable for his injuries.
😳 hey man leave those sharks alone...
Those Sharks are amazing jumping into the air they must be protected they are intelligent and people can stay out of the stupid shark cages and stop polluting the sea. 🦈
Serame’s story sounds like the same kind of devastating attack that Simon Nellist had, except nobody could get to Simon quickly enough to get him into shore.😢
Hello and welcome back to my cellphone!
Glad to b back
Glad I live in near cold waters where I can safely enjoy never swimming in the sea
Things I will never do after following Hal for over a year
Surf
Spearfish
Kayak
Snorkle
SCUBA
Surf
[edit: yeah I said surf twice]
The great part is . .you will probably survive kayak as the whites just toss it and leave you alone , even to get back into it, just don't go super deep lol
I actually heard that they might be watching us surf . .that they play riding the waves at night, I think it was found to be happening somewhere . .pretty funny. I almost went surfing with some smurfiness going on one midnight summer . .won't be doing that again, didn't was stopped by a local cop I thought was a dick then . I laud him, now . .lol been night surfing as extra innings . Man , you will likely never catch me doing that s_&t ever 😂again . .like ever . .
❤my joy
Great vid as always. I actually like when you mention the race of the person. It makes the story more interesting and deep. Discussing race isnt a bad thing unless someone makes it that way. Still humans at the end of the day. White, black, asian, it really doesnt matter to a 20ft killer fish lol
