- Great White Shark circles and bumps kayak anglers while fishing off Hartenbos. Estimated at around 4m long, the shark seemed way too curious and made it his mission to do a thorough investigation...at the cost of the anglers' comfort.

The best way to deal with shark situations such as this is to press pause, breath and skip to the next video.
🤣👊😁lmao
Lol.. I needed that laugh! Thanks.
Clever
U sir, r a genius
You made me laugh sooo hard just now. That was hilarious!
If your wondering why there's no volume, both these guys are screaming like little girls at the moment.

Really?!? No wonder! LMFAO!!!!
Too funny , but understandable
Joepublic thank you for answering my question. I thought my phone was playing up
Lmfao
Ain’t no fun when the fish is trying to catch you
They call it _"Peopling."_

I had a shark bump my kayak on the Georgia coast and I paddled back to the dock like a goddammed Olympic hopeful. Props for staying put.
If u start splashing they attack right?
@@ocb885 I wasn't chancing it lol. The first bump... remain calm, prolly nothing, slow roll to the dock. 2nd? FUCKTHISSHITIMOUT
@@kelliethornton7986 trust me. Im not playing with no shark.
I'd imagine the shark would be more incline to leave you alone the more you engage and interact with it. This shark was very curious... possibly hungry... maybe looking to determine whether the kayak was prey or not. Swimming towards the shark is the opposite of what prey does...
I bought myself a kayak recently and then started watching youtube videos on shark encounters. A waste of fuckin money that kayak was. I think I'll turn it upside down and use it for a shelf.
+dsr20631 Sharks are in the water, and danger is all around us. Just don't be a puss, you're more likely to die in a car crash, is your car a waste too?
Just don't go to South Africa haha
+dsr20631 Same here just spent $1000AUD on a Kayak, was also looking at shark encounters, I too am thinking of calling it Quits before I get in one :D
+Damien O'Brien lol Damien, watching these types of vids probably wasnt the best move huh... It makes ya nervous man.! I do actually take mine out (my comment above was a joke obviously) and not so long ago I had an inquisitive dolphin swimming alongside me but I have to admit when it first surfaced I totally wasn't expecting it and nearly shit my boardies! It turned out to be an awesome experience. Where I live however (south coast of WA) they tag a lot of big whites and monitor their movements.. its alarming how many there are and how often they frequent shallow water only a coupla hundred metres offshore so I'm half expecting a proper scare in the future.
I'm still setting my gear up but when I get a chance to get it in the Water (hobart Tasmania) I really dont want to encounter any sharks, my anxiety would set off and I would end up throwing up, maybe after a year or so It would be ok.
Best place to see a Great White is from my computer screen.
Lol so true!
I agreed so bad
John's Fish Tales same here!
Tru dat
John's Fish Tales or a shark cage lol
"Hey, im gonna go out in a single kayak into the waters off south africa and dangle bait in the water. What could possibly go wrong??"
At least the world will be a wanker/s less.
Sry bit harsh i like the name
The shark is more interested in the bigger meal above water.
I see nothing wrong with it maybe you’ll meet a great white he might really want to be your friend
Hahahahah
I'm more shocked at the proper placement of the apostrophe in the plural possessive. That's rarer than a great white sighting.
🤣
@Marcus Taylor I know. That's just indicative of how dumbed-down we've become--very sad indeed.
LMAO..
Proper grammar is dying

If yo ca rea thi tha yo don nee glasse
Im not an expert but I've watched enough cartoons to know that a shark circling you a bad sign
if it had any desire at all to eat them, then they'd be dead. it had no intention to harm them, simple curiosity. it may have been itchy and wanted a scratch, and these guys rudely ignored it's friendly gestures.
breathe and squeeze - that shark would be like a teenager based on it’s size. They are very curious at that age.
More importantly;
They also get acne and develop complexes. Like you said, he just wanted a scratch and a few zits popped!
😂
I love how the term "curiosity" is used as if the shark were a child discovering life.
Guys, in a situation like this, it wouldnt matter if the shark was 8 feet or 16 feet. If it wants to take you in, it can. A 6 footer can take off an arm or a leg. Cheers for the composure. That is what saved your lives. Id have had an instant heart attack, as your scenario is basically my very worst nightmare. Im obsessed with sharks, but shark week will do.
Charles Furer That is so interesting. I don't scuba dive, but I used to love the ocean, and snorkeling. I've heard divers talking about "sharky" feelings. One time, I was snorkeling off a platform in cozumel, that the locals had told me about, about 40 yards off shore. Underneath, the platform, about 20 feet deep was a sunken boat. I left my girlfriend, on shore and proceeded to swim out. I begin to dive near this platform, and I swear, I had that "Sharky" feeling, like something was watching/hunting me. Every inch of my body was screaming danger, danger. It was overwhelming, and strange because I was an ocean lover since I could walk. I had never felt like that before. I swam back to the platform as fast as I could, and climbed on it. I sat on it for a few, trying to figure out why I was so panicked, but decided not too swim to shore. I started yelling at my girlfriend to get help, someone came out with a wave runner. He gets there, and low and behold...there's a bunch of thrashing right in front of me, before he pulls up, and then, there it was, probably 8 or 9 feet and stocky. A huge bull shark.
Justforkicks there is a sunken plane about 20 yards past that or maybe we are talking about the same place. I remember eating at this cool mexican restaurant then scuba diving right off the coast by the cruise ship. I didn't see any sharks, but there were massive gar fish. That's insane, I was diving and swimming all day. I felt the same eerie feeling when trying to dive to plane (it was too deep) but I ignored it. Good thing you didn't!
Justforkicks senor frogs was the place I was eating at. We were most likely in the same area.
Justforkicks always trust your guts!
It wasn't their worst nightmare if they went fishing on a kayak in the waters of the great whites.
Pure idiocy. That shark was just curious and not hugry. It could have taken them one time.
That moment when you realise you're in Jaws 4
Jaws 4 was in the Bahamas lol
samgzag11 Jaws 5 you mean
**Jaws 5
“Cayaking in the waters off South Africa is like taking a bicycle through the Serengeti”
...saw this on another post...and fully agree...
i watched a documentary where a guy broke down in the serengeti and walked back to camp.no gun or any weapon,just his camera...
The shark was obviously a paid actor.
I agree
Hey he had more screen time than jaws!
Awe that's cute, the shark was playing with it's food.
Oh yea...
Some people look for the most inventive ways to Die!
Lets be clear here i thinkyou mean white people
@@SD-li9g I think you might be right. I am white but I never see anyone else doing this stuff. lol
@@anns1921 The only stupid thing the do is, fishing from that kayak... If you walk threw the saharah desert with a few pounds of meat on your back, wait for the lion's to come closer. Allmost every single land predator is more dangerous to us than sharks. If a shark attacks you, you can be sure it was your misstake. Elephants kill more people than all sharks together.
@@e30kitty Agreed! I love sharks but I sure don't want to be eaten by one.
@@e30kitty There are no lions in the Sahara Desert.
"Hope we find some big ones when we go fishing today"
*jaws* *music* *plays*
Wait why do I hear boss music? 🤔
You do realise Kayaks were invented by sharks.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
4:49am coronavirus quarantine and im crying bro 😂😂😂
Nuck Chorris i feel you
Hell yeah lmao
The lack of sound makes it more terrifying.
lol i was waiting to hear the imfamous GWS theme song.
🤔 Hmmm Wonder if the term and phrase "I think we're gonna need a bigger boat" ever come to mind?
"Sooner or later you'll make a mistake. And I'll be there..."
That sharks not messing around and it's way too interested
Like a curious toddler
cause they werent giving it a hit to warn it off it was coming closer and closer un-threatened.
@@julianraiders1112 exactly... those two are idiots... give the shark a poke!
Nah youd be surprised how often sharks just want a back scratch from a boat bottom, or theyre just curious
unless you fall in near a bull shark that is. chomped
I’m not going fishing in a kayak anywhere that I even have a 1% chance of running into a Great White.
Saint Michael any predator at sea or forests are a threat. They had a weapon and the one thing about a good predator; they are very wise when it comes to what to eat and what to simply observe.
A bull shark or Tiger shark will attack and test bite and see what it comes up with.
EXACTLY! LOL, SAME, WAT GETS ME IS THEY KAYAK FISH SOOOO FARRR FROM THE SHORE!
I'm taking it one step further. I'm not going fishing in a kayak EVER!! lol
meh i fish inshore and i see sharks daily in the 4-7ft range. they dont mess with you unless your dragging your catches on a stringer which is dumb. but even then they will only go for the fish not you. but i would NEVER EVER be in waters where great whites could be.
So not on the ocean
wow, that was intense. about 30 years ago, two kayakers went out into one of the SF bays. they were never found, but one kayak floated back to shore with a large bite out of it.
Do you ever evidence of that or did you jist hear that from someone?
@@reservoirfrogs2177 google it. It happened in 1989.

@@eddies8674 Thanks for the story link
OK so at the time frightening but what a fantastic encounter. Beautiful fish, super curious and just trying to size up the situation I guess. Smart that you put your kayaks together, probably how you kept him/her from taking a test bite.
The longer you watch the scarier it gets....
It’s a matter of time before a kayak comes back with nobody on it.
It happens already, I remember 2 cases an old one in US where a man and women training for triathlon never returned alive. The femsle’s body was found but the male was never retrieved.
One more recent was in Reunion island where a 70’s old kayak man was eaten by a shark. His hand was found in a shark belly.
Or half a kayak
But the shark!!!!!!grinning....
you will never catch me in the ocean
and just when I have gotten over my PTSD adn fear of the ocean after watching Jaws back in 1979...
How you kill your pray by a heart attack...
I've had a couple greats surprise me in the murky Santa Cruz surf,first one was about eight feet I kept on surfing,but just recently had a 16 footer cruise by my board,we got our legs out the water and stayed quiet as he circled us,needless to say I caught the next wave to shore,it was as an experience I will never forget.
alejandro that’s crazy man
Dang lol
"When you enter the ocean, you enter the food chain"
You saw an 8 footer and decided to keep surfing?? An 8 ft. gws is still a juvenile and hasn't yet stepped up to eating seals and their ilk. But geez dude it can certainly kill a person very easily. A leg bite that severs the femoral artery and you'd exsanguinate before reaching the shore. Leaving behind any family and friends. And for what?? To catch a few more waves?? A spearfisherman barely offshore in Santa Barbara was bit on his swimfin by an 8 footer and got it recorded on his gopro. He was very lucky because as the shark was coming back for a second nibble he was able to jab it near it's eye with his spear gun. Shark wanted none of that and sped off. Idk dude be careful I guess.
People who use kayaks in these kind of waters are practically asking for it...
You play stupid games... You win stupid prizes!
Sean Blu Digital, I like to think of it as “self remediating stupidity”.
Darwin award nominees!
They won the fuckwit jackpot!!
Sean Blu Digital 😂 ok I love this. As a new mom, I’m going use this when my son gets older!!
The survived so it was well worth the experience!
That white was well behaved very curious spirit too. I don’t understand why anyone would kayak in the ocean 😬
Or surf??
Ha ha well behaved until it has a mouthful of human for lunch. Hungry and curious, probably alot more hungry than curious. That could have easily been 1 guy loses a friend the other guy apologizes to friends family for having the bright idea to kayak those waters. It was also a juvenile..
I totally agree Princess, an aggressive shark can knock a kayak over and it's goodbye!! Kayaks are made for a bay or a lake etc. And even then depending where you are I saw a kayaker get knocked in by a gator, fortunately, the guy was able to climb back in.
@@scottywilliams1061 Great Whites don’t eat humans they get curious and use their mouth to identify what is what most likely it would’ve let go and get to shore asap worst could happen is drowning if it took a leg.
I think I would have applied some misdirection with that paddle or handle end of the gaff.
What's the problem? You went looking for fish, You found one ;)
reverendkrv Lol
😁
yeah! and anyone will tell you its a man eater a big one! quote : jaws
Lol
Ha ha ha! 🤣
I dont get how people kayak fish in south africa.
isnt it the great white shark capital of the world?
Paul C nah Australia is.
Queensland is
Paul C Im Australian. I believe its SA still.
Australia, California, and Hawaii are home to the Great White shark, and you can add in the Tiger Shark for Hawaii although it may be in the other places as well. Basically, all of the world's best surfing spots are the most deadly shark infested waters.
Probably BECAUSE it has the most surfers! haha
That shark can breach out of that water as well as turn the kayak over
No sound..I’m guessing he didn’t want us to hear him pooing his pants
that kayak would have been a white and brown if I was sitting on it
Hartenbos...right next to seal island...and just round the corner from Mossel Bay. One of the biggest centers of Great Whites and home of Great White Shark Africa. Last time I was there saw 4 Great Whites just sitting in the 2nd breaker off the beach. Beautiful footage and lucky everyone is okay.
If that was me.....i'd change my name to Jesus and walk(run) on water.
what if the shark changed its name to snake and slithered onto land to attacc?
@@tlovesretro Well.......i'd be pretty much f##ked......lol
Great video dude. You did a great job keeping calm cuz once you freak out it’s pretty much game over. Kudos to both of you 👏🏻
You're gonna need a bigger boat.
I knew somebody had to have already said that.
i would've swam with it
You mean you would have swam into its mouth.
No audio? Sad, I wanted to here what you and the shark were talking about..
Hear not here
I like how the one kayaker kept his hook pointed at the shark at all times like a dinner fork 😂
Hooper: that’s a 20 footer
Quint: 25 3 tons on him
more like 12 feet
Not very smart to go kayak fishing in great white infested water...just like camping in grizzly country
Itor Lamop I'm always shocked ppl do this! Look how low to the sea kayaks are! If that shark took a bite out of it it'd get their leg, it could easily knock them out into the water, cause the boat to flip! The stupidity of ppl is beyond belief to the point I think if the shark attacks its ur own faults for entering waters they live in.
You should remain safely at home behind your laptop
And the one kayak is “yum yum yellow”!
@@markwheeler4245 Nothing shocking about it. They weren't in any danger really, if the Great White wanted to then it could have ripped those boats in half with ease, but it didn't, and they never really do. I'd be willing to bet that anyone that spends time in the ocean has been closer to a shark than they realize
Itor Lamop I go camping in grizzly country all the time, I just make sure I have my gun with me at all times and the same would go for sharks, I don’t go hunting them but if they hunt me I would kill them
Great work staying calm in such a situation. And thank you for sharing this experience.
Yeah, I don't think I would ever take my kayak back in the ocean. I would have shit myself. LOL. That's spooky for real. He was seriously looking for a meal!
No he wasn't. Great whites attack with speed and stealth, not calmly swimming around, it was just curious.
Kayak fishing in South Africa is not a good idea
Полностью согласен...
Very smart of the kayakers to hold together like that. Otherwise, the shark really may have gone for a bite.
And you know this for a fact??
+Joseph Saeteurn why are you arguing with everyone
James RL i want to make sure cause I do a lot of kayaking.
Wrong ;)
That's what I was thinking 😬
These sharks have attacked kayaks on many occasions. These guys were fotunate. I will pass on this kind of adventure.
drdellaman, Hello. I am with you and will also pass on this Adventure. Indeed The White shark has tipped over kayaks many a time.The Great White is far toooo close for comfort. With their only protection the plastic kayaks they are on. NO THANK's !
Kayak fishing is one of my favorite types of fishing. Many, many experiences with sharks. Fascinating!!
Best commercial for a Great White shark top-water plug I've ever seen!😆🎤⬇️
Thats a fucking mans response!
Just being curious is all that shark could have flipped over kayaks if it really wanted to my guess is it was searching for a free handout
A magnificent creature indeed.
Great whites have a super intimidating presence. I remember seeing one circle a little kayak. It was so scary....i had to stop watching the vid.
Oh you guys are so mean, he just wanted to hang out and go for a swim with you guys; and you stayed on the boat like a bunch of party poopers.
BADASS! I LOVE SHARKS! I'm glad both of you are ok. Thank you for sharing this amazing experience with the world!
there's No Sound so we Can't hear the high pitched Screams and Whimpering like the cute blonde in the boat in JAWS 2 screaming SHARK!
This shark was a confused extra in Shark Week.
Well done putting the kayaks together for stability and larger size.
Pucker factor 9.9
I think "fatal intestinal maelstrom" would be more accurate
LMAO!!! I was watching this and The Office was playing on my tv and Michael and Dwight were singing the Jaws theme.
bullshit
I used to surf all the time in outback South Australia, when I was younger seen a few smaller sharks, but still it never bothered then, but never seen anything like these guys.. Crazy..
That would be EXTREMELY nervewracking!!😳
Thank you for not freaking out and harming the shark. Amazing video and you both seemed to have kept your calm remarkably well. Kudos to you both!
Thank you Pia Lee! Champion of Sharks!
Pia Lee it doesn't look like they were in much of a position to harm the shark. what would they do, gaf it? I wouldn't like their chances of survival if they started harassing it. would definitely spice up an already good video.
In this case it would have been risky to do so, but teaching sharks to leave humans alone is better for both species in the end. The same goes for bears, as those who attack humans and hunted and put down. I've run into both of these animals in the wild, and for better or worse anything that shows aggression towards humans is also a risk to itself and is better off with a light warning, especially if you DON'T want to see them hunted or killed.
Pff, how would they harm that massive shark? If anything, they would've just pissed it off. And it would be very wise not to do that. In the ocean, sharks are the top predator and are on top of the food chain.
+Wally17 really?,r
He should have pushed his buddy in the water as a distraction and paddled for shore. 😎
Dustin Morrison hahahaha
I'm NEVER going fishing with you... LOL
You dont have to out paddle the great white you only have to out paddle your fishin buddy!!!
"Just tire out the fish while I'm bringing a bigger scale! We'll share the trophy when we're done."
Dustin Morrison ha ha
I would freeeeak out and die from heartattack.
Jesus, terrifying video. Makes me think of that line in the movie Jaws:
“I think you need a bigger boat”
I really don't get kayaking in the ocean a river or a lake okay but the freaking ocean.
Kayaking in some lakes and rivers have crocodiles and alligators too
Werent kayaks built for the ocean?
MoonJG no, no they were not lmfao
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too close for comfort!!!!
He sure hung around enough! I'd be found in my boat days later having died of a heart attack!
The way they feel right now is the way the fish feel when you're reeling them up!😥🤔
That's a little too curious you should have popped him on the snout with that gaff pole. Your lucky he didn't decide to lay across your lap. He was thinking about it.
Agreed. I would've let him hang around maybe half that long, if that, then let him know it's time to GTFOH.
That would've just got the shark aroused and had his adrenaline pumping, possibly causing the shark to attack the kayak. Sharks, let alone great whites don't just scare that easy.
Two Serious Dogs - they are not vengeful either. Hit on the snout most likely will turn the shark. But then, no 2 animals are alike in their actions. I learned that the hard way with a grizzly bear.
I would be terrified yet amaized its a very incredible thing id take that moment in for like 20s then im paddling to shore and oh god would i considering poking him to make him back away
@@shitloveaduck stop calling your wife a grizzly bear!
Amazing animal. You’re in their domain so you’re asking for trouble really.
Recently purchased a fishing kayak. 1 unused fishing kayak for sale!
A shark that size has the power to EASILY tail whip and flip both of those yaks at the same time. Its a good thing those guys stayed fairly calm and didn't start hitting the shark etc bc he was def sizing them up and had they pissed him off it would've been ugly.
Perfect video don't say shit. Let the video speak for itself.
wow. I would of been scared to death. these guys stayed pretty calm.
Pure intimidation technique by the shark. Knew what he was doing, I bet it was chuckling itself. I love how Great Whites always look like they’re pulling a toothy grin, right up til they bite. What a beauty of a fish!
I love love love the way the fin just POPS out! This isnt. Click bait
I've heard sharks can smell a drop of blood in the water from a mile away. How far away can they detect when you completely shit your bowels?
Dangle a foot over the side. That way, you could change your name to Hop-a-long. Win, win.
Loved that! Thanks for sharing
He was just curious.
No reason for being nervous.
^^
Thats the risk you take when you are in thier waters. So.......life with it and respect them.
Fishing on a Toothpick ". . . 🍽
Wow, I’m just amazed your kayaks were able to support the weight of your huge balls.
I'm shaking the whole time I'm watching this!
WOW! Thank you for sharing this with the world! Great White Sharks are incredible. I've loved them since I was a kid. Thank you for showing it the respect it deserves. Afterall, you are in their domain. 1♡
so how does it feel to be the hunted ??
When the natural order of things upsets you...lirl
you are so right
Except it wasn't hunting
LOL. Sharks aren't that stupid. They're like Seagulls, they only need to see an angler catching fish and they immediately swoop by. Sharks are the same. They know you're catching fish so they hang around for a while then they go. If a shark kill an angler catching fish, they know they will miss the meal, if you get what I mean.
uh oh triggered vegan! 😂
Both terrifying and awe struck at the same time
Only thing separating them from the shark is some fiberglass xD
Why would anyone even consider taking their small little kayaks off to the ocean where a.) HUGE fish/sharks can easily tip them over or b.) small waves or wakes caused by larger boats can easily tip them over?
1975: we're gonna need a bigger boat.
2023: I wish i wasnt in a plastic boat
I’d love to know what he was thinking about doing with the hook 🤔😂🤣 because that would only piss it off 🤯
"I think we are going to need a bigger boat"
Chief Brody
That was a freakin big shark.
That's a 20 footer......

It seems so because there boat are small not the best one to go fishing out in a place who swimms more white sharks Then small fishes
What? Hell no. That one looked like a juvenile.
+noge Yeah that's a juvenile. Might be around 7 or 8 ft
You appear quite confident, this apex does not want to perform the easy task to help you deboard your tiny vehicle. Kudos!
We used to do frog man stuff and helocast from helicopters off the NC shoreline, been bumped a few times by who knows what, it absolutely stops your heart when you're 1/2 mile from the beach. Did some tactical night swims of 4-5 miles, I'm 68 now and it still gives me the shivers how stupid I was.
I kayak these days, in fresh water lakes around Yellowstone NP.
Maybe it was waiting for you guys to reel something up in which case lunch.
