YAY !!! My buddy is back with a video !! You may not realize this, but for those of us who have a hard time being able to go places, your videos popping up are the next best thing to having a visitor at our door that we'll invite in and chat with for a bit, share a few minutes with, regularly. You're a visitor that I''m always GLAD to see has rang the doorbell,.though (I can;t always say that about everyone who rings my doorbell. Lol) Thanks for the great video !!
Oh my word!!! Hun, you put that exactly like I feel!!!!!!! Ive left my house 6 times in the last ten months and find myself getting pretty lonely. It feels a lot less lonely after Hal visits and we get a good laugh in and a great shark chat on board.
@@nekotheratweeniee1980 Yes it does & it occurred to me that Hal ptobably doesn't realize what his videos mean to us, the lil dose of 'happy' & the inner grin our hearts feel inside when we see that he's uploaded a video for his followers to view. Only a few people who upload videos regularly have the uncanny knack of speaking about interesting subjects in a way that is so intelligent and yet still so down to earth and comfortable, so naturally entertaining just being themselves that it does almost seem like they're talking to me,, sitting in front of me here in my home so that, yes, it very much becomes a kind of regular "visit" I look forward to so much. He brings joy to my life & connection to others who are intrigued by the same subjects too.
Kathy & Neko: you do know that you belong to a big Family: The "Sharks Happen" Family! A great bunch of people thT love Hal. He's an all-round Great down-to-earth guy & we love him ❤ (he's also hilarious - funny personal stories!).
Sorry to hear that. Feel free to interact with me in the comments section if you want. I know it's not much and not a proper conversation but if it helps you guys out even a little bit, then it's better than nothing I guess. Stay well and hope things get better
Territorial bites make sense. The same is true of land preditors. Lions, and other big cats, bears, if you are in their territory you are going to get bit or worse. I don't understand why the shark experts don't see it. Glad you're back Hal. 🙂❤️🦈
By the animals perspective it makes all the sense: "if another big animal is near me, that can mean less food for me, so im gonna get rid of him". We are bigger than seals. I dont think they mistake us with seals
Especially if there's seals, fish or other prey nearby. I've heard the theory that the shark will attack if that's the case because it thinks that we're a rival to steal the food that the shark considers theirs. Which is a tie in with the territorial reason.
The Heather Boswell video has haunted me since the first time i watched it. Somehow that one is still creepier to me than the 2 more recent ones in Australia and Egypt..even though the Egypt one looked like something straight out of Jaws!
Squashing a wasp nest is never a good idea, lol. So glad to see another informative ( and amusing) show from you and DEFINITELY happy to hear that there are more to come. Thanks, Hal for putting forth this amazing content! 😊❤️
Climbing up a tree to swat down a Hornet's nest with a big stick wasn't smart either, yet irresistible & the reward outweighed risk ... Won't be doing that again
Keep putting them out Hal! Is there a patreon? Ok, I got to where you said you cancelled your patreon but how can people send you some money? You know like even a thank you button or something like that? I think a lot of us Sharks Happen people would like to show our gratitude for your work on these shows.
Easily the best content on UA-cam. Hal, if you haven’t already, an entire show consisting of nothing but your fishing stories would be fantastic! You have a gift for storytelling. I know I’m not alone either in wanting this. Have fun down in Georgia!
....Good to see you're back ! Thinking about it, "when" I use to swim in the ocean ... I would go out and just tread water while chatting with my friends. I'm wondering if those sharks that eat people actually have a preference for humans? The poor guy who was eaten in Egypt, it was said that it was a pregnant tiger shark, suggesting because she was pregnant she wasn't able to hunt in her usual way, and Vladimir was easy prey....also mentioned the authorities believed it was the same shark that killed two others just weeks before. After watching Sharks Happen, " IF ": I were to go into the ocean, I wouldn't go spearfishing and I would stay out of the deep water.
The two others were killed a year ago. So not likely to be the same shark. Besides, if sharks developed a preference for human prey, as Hal discusses in the video, we'd be seeing a LOT more humans being taken. I'm not sure that pregnancy suggests a shark can't hunt normally? I think it suggests the shark is more likely to be hungry.
I also read that the pregnant tiger shark attack on mr popov in Egypt was literally starving when they killed her his remains were the only thing she had in her stomach. God knows how long it had been since she ate a meal and was likely trying to keep her baby and herself alive as callous as that sounds.
I agree. Like when my big dog used to step on my little terrier boy and he'd go off like the little terrorist he could be and tear into her. Can't really blame him. She was WAY bigger than him and getting stepped on by her could be painful even for us humans.
I really like the longer video today… its great to dig into the trends and myths, discuss the misconceptions and openly talk about the reality of shark attacks. This is the kind of thing we need across all media to help reduce shark attacks and help humans AND sharks to be safer. I do agree with Hal that there’s only one way to be sure on the safety issue though! Keep up the fight Hal, and enjoy your time in Georgia with your dad. Blessings from the UK 🙏
Aloha Hal & Mrs Hal!😊 According to research; Sharks can go days, weeks, months, and sometimes up to a year without eating. It sounds like their metabolism is slow, so they don't need to be constantly "on the hunt." The beautiful Drone videos by YT's "The Malibu Artist" show sharks constantly cruising in/near the shallows alongside and very near to people. He has a rare video of Sharks hunting for Sting Rays (this is when they are in the shallower sections cruising the bottom). Maybe kids seem to be attacked due to being in the shallower sections, and sharks being attracted to their constant/unusual movements/noises in the water? I work with visitors here in Hawaii. They often ask me about swimming/ snorkeling areas and 🦈 in those areas. I recommend them swimming in the Lifeguarded beaches, as they will display signs when Sharks are spotted. I also refer them to the stats on our State website; (I think I told you awhile back about it); the DLNR (Department Of Land & Natural Resources) for Shark attacks on the different islands/beaches categorized by years/ attacks/areas of attack. One thing I know is that Maui (over last 30 yrs), has had 58 documented attacks. Fifty -eight? It could be that (maybe) Maui waters are some type of breeding ground for Tiger Sharks? I have a family member who was a Maui Paramedic for 30 yrs. She quit/retired around when Covid started; citing two things as the reasons; Covid & the many Shark attacks she was called to in Maui waters. Great to see you! 😊
An average of a couple attacks annually for Maui sounds pretty standard considering the amount of people in the water there. It seems a strange reason to quit being a paramedic over. There are five species of shark that have warm-blooded capabilities, and the associated higher metabolism: short/long fin mako, salmon, porbeagle and great whites. A large great white would need to eat fairly regularly to survive.
Hey Hal, glad your back! I think when someone jumps on a shark, like maybe from a boat, that’s probably defensive, more than territorial. Enjoy your vacation.
Hal I’ve never had any interest in fishing but I love listening to your stories and I’m very grateful for the information you share about sharks so thank you so much I love what you’re doing
Lol your funny stories at the end part sounded so much like something that'd happen to me,if I was fishing.... our family had 7 daughters and always whatever should never happen to anybody would happen to one of us all our lives. Your Dad must get a big kick out of things like those when they happen to you.
Hal, thanks for the mid-week pick-me-up. Lots of great info and hilarious fishing tales. You mix business with pleasure well. Have missed you so much. Have fun down south!
I’ve just subscribed, I love how you respect them so much, in Australia, we respect them, we get in their water, we know there is always a risk, we do it knowing the risk, there is probably no surfer in Australia that would want revenge on a shark, we go in there knowing the risks, it’s their territory x❤
You need your own shark week show on Discovery man. Me and a buddy were chatting this weekend about how good shark week used to be but now it's all cheesy reality show crap, like the megalodon special they aired almost a decade back.. that killed it for me. As a kid I remember the actual survivor documentaries with the accounts caught on tape. (Edit: lol Eric Ritter!!!! That's exactly the show I'm talking about!)
I always enjoy the Shark Happen show with Hal... From his personality to the tone of his voice, he really makes it interesting and entertaining. He's the best.
Do sharks play? Maybe; Some attacks I notice might be. There was a guy who got bitten off Pebble Beach; the diver was hunting for lobster. He noticed a big great white at the limits of his vision. Every time he saw it, it moved away further away until it was out of view. When the diver surfaced, then moved in and bit him. Almost as if it wanted to see if they could get close enough to avoid being spotted. In other cases, there's a diver who filmed a 'teenage' great white rising up towards a spear fisherman at one of the Channel Islands (Catalina?); it looked like it was starting to make a 'rush', but when the diver 'faced' the shark, the demeanor changed, it peeled away and began to swim parallel to him--almost like it was saying 'hah, just kidding'. Same with a diver who swam outside of a cage in South Australia==he even hitched a ride by holding on to the white shark's fin. When it got him far enough from the cage, it suddenly made an abrupt turn toward the diver. The diver was too far from the cage to run, so he held his ground and faced the shark==and the shark just 'relaxed' and cruised past him.
Hey Gorgeous! You are rockin' the tan and the shirt! So happy to see you again. I am always telling people about your show and warning friends about going into all that vacation water. That is why I must thank you for all your informative shows. I have learned so much about sharks that no more beach vacations. Now we will go into the Great Lakes but the water is so cold. Who cares! No sharks or jellyfish, only nice sand and blue water. Love hearing your miss adventures. Glad someone else has them too. Can't wait for your next video.
Excellent story teller and you are very knowledgeable. Great channel. I'm 51, I grew up in Ventura, California, home to the Great White. Thousands of hours I spent surfing, swimming, boogie boarding and never thought about a shark. I wonder how many times one was near me.
Hi there and thank you for this show. I understand now that the Patreon is not going to happen so if I could suggest possibly adding the feature "Show support with super thanks " tag so that we can show support to your show and at least thank you and send you a few bucks here and there. Your show is not only interesting but educational as well so it would be nice to send you a gift from time to time. All the best and hope to see another show soon. Best regards. From Petr from the Czech republic.
was great to see you again Hal. You've been missed. LOL and man I thought you just got back from a vacation or trip :P Be safe and come back with lots of good stories :) Also loved the stories. Fishing stories are always the best lol. I do feel sorry for what happened to your dad though. Wasp stings hurt like hell and that feeling takes its time in going away.
I watched a show about sharks on the History channel that sharks have 4 behaviors/attacks, this is for great whites. 1. Curiousity 2. Territorial 3. Practice attacks 4. To eat. Basically what Hal is saying.
@SharksHappen Hall I've been listening to you for a couple of years since lockdowns. Keep fighting sir. So when I consider territorial attacks, especially Juvenile great whites on surfers I think its highly plausible they practice just like young tigers or lions
@@SharksHappenal what about those sub adult/almost adults transitioning to mammal food? Do you think they sometimes 'practice' or trial attack cos they sense we're mammals? I notice a lot of attacks are not huge GWs but 12 footers etc
So glad to see your face Hal!!!! Thank you so much for such a brilliant show! The stories of you and your Dad are brilliant. So joyful to listen to. You're such a clumsy Cluster-fuck, it's adorable. X We've missed you so much.
If you’re ever in Orlando there’s a nice lake I used in Kissimmee lake ToHo. Nice community off OBT. Bait Shop. Lots of huge bass. Red Fin Pickerel. Maybe some chain pickerel. Lots of black Crappie off the dock. Huge alligator Gar. And yes towards the evenings you’ll see the crocs start cruising. Bass Masters use this lake. IVE seen 10LB bass caught here. Bass master told me if a bass was big enough he’d eat me. On the Orlando side there’s some chain ponds and lakes called turkey lake. They are good too.
Hey Hal! I love the steady stream of content lately. I’m hoping you’ll cover this recent fatality in the Red Sea last month of Russian tourist Vladimir Popov, 23 years old. They dragged the poor pregnant tiger shark to the beach where the father of the victim beat it to death. The current theory is that it may have been attracted to shallower waters by people trying to feed it or it was lured there by illegally dumped animal carcasses. There’s also a shortage of food from overfishing, and now they’re culling tiger sharks which are only doing what they’re made to do. I don’t know if you’ve seen the video yet but holy shit, I will NEVER hear Stand by Me by Ben E. King and be the same again. That, to me, is the eeriest part of the video, this man screaming “Papa!” as hes mauled and consumed to Leiber and Stollers beautiful, orchestral, instrumental masterpiece in Ben E Kings Stand by Me, while jackass onlookers record it on their cell phones.
Good to see a new video from you, Hal. We've missed you buddy. As to the same shark attacking a year later or whatever interval. People can say the dumbest shit sometimes. Of course it's possible, it's also improbable. There are an estimated 1500 White sharks on the West coast of Australia that call it home base. Then there are visitors and passers by and this is just one species that can turn you into a paragraph in the obituaries. I imagine much of the conjecture re: White shark behaviour is probably correct to varying degrees. eg: Misidentification? Sure, occasionally from inexperience. Or. Nope, hungry. Or. Oh yeah, been waiting for one of these floating fatties. Predation? Absolutely. Or. Some don't have a taste for us... if they're starving however. Or. Nope. You just got in the way. Territorial? Absolutely. Or. Absolutely. May as well eat, too. Or. Sure. Don't want to eat you but interlopers get an arse kicking. Or. Sure. Sorry I killed you. Didn't realise you're so soft and just wanted you gone. Such a scenario would apply to curiosity, too a.k.a a test bite. Appreciate anyone whom read this far. Just thinking aloud. Cheers big ears ;)
Hal, it's so good to see you again!!!! Tell your dad that I hope he's doing better! These fishing trips should be video specials. Til next time....see ya.
Hal, welcome back! I have a couple of questions for you. First, I have heard the theory that pregnant female shark are more likely to attack humans than other sharks. It seems that the recent horrible attack on the young Russian in Egypt, as well as the two attacks last year on women in the Red Sea, were all done by pregnant female Tiger sharks. The reasoning behind the theory is that pregnant females are slower when hunting than they might otherwise be, and that they’re more apt to hunt slower prey, like humans. Any thoughts? Second: there’s a video on UA-cam that shows a diver who says that he’s befriended a Tiger shark whom he’s named Emma, in the Bahamas. There’s video of him petting Emma, who swims right up to him and hangs out like a friendly dog. I’d love your take on that. (I believe the video is on the Dodo site.)
I'm in San Diego. I met a surfer who said his surfer friend has a "girlfriend" that's a tiger shark: whenever he goes out to surf, this tiger shark will come out and hang out with him, and only him.
“pregnant female shark are more likely to attack humans” If a pregnant female human is more likely to attack other humans … why not a pregnant female shark? :)
Cool, thanks Hal. Made my own halibut fish and chips while listening to you. I caught the halibut in Alaska and the potatoes I grew in the yard :) Really got good at frying fish this year! I do a corn starch/flower mix with about 10 spices. I use a backyard chicken egg. And combine panko with Parmesan to do an outer coating.
Don't know if you've already talked about it, but what was that about great white sharks carrying tuna heads in their mouths? Saving it for later? Thanks for a fantastic talk today. Loved it!
I Love hour channel. Your channel is the only one l watch just you talking for the majority of the time instead of different videos flasing......and l freaking love it.....which is very rare.....so that tells you that youve got something special.. God Bless

Same with a diver who swam outside of a cage in South Australia==he even hitched a ride by holding on to the white shark's fin. When it got him far enough from the cage, it suddenly made an abrupt turn toward the diver. The diver was too far from the cage to run, so he held his ground and faced the shark==and the shark just 'relaxed' and cruised past him.
Hey Gorgeous! You are rockin' the tan and the shirt! So happy to see you again. I am always telling people about your show and warning friends about going into all that vacation water. That is why I must thank you for all your informative shows. I have learned so much about sharks that no more beach vacations. Now we will go into the Great Lakes but the water is so cold. Who cares! No sharks or jellyfish, only nice sand and blue water. Love hearing your miss adventures. Glad someone else has them too. Can't wait for your next video.
Don't y'all have huge, toothed pikes and muskies?
Don't let them get you down! Love your videos.. Keep em coming. :)
Good to see you again man we’re you been?
I been BUSY- Luther 48 hours
Good to see you!! What the heck have they tried to do to your channel? Your numbers should be much higher!😮
Excellent story teller and you are very knowledgeable. Great channel. I'm 51, I grew up in Ventura, California, home to the Great White. Thousands of hours I spent surfing, swimming, boogie boarding and never thought about a shark. I wonder how many times one was near me.
I still get the heebee jeebees thinking about a white shark near me while swimming the Pacific in La Jolla lol.
Hi there and thank you for this show. I understand now that the Patreon is not going to happen so if I could suggest possibly adding the feature "Show support with super thanks " tag so that we can show support to your show and at least thank you and send you a few bucks here and there. Your show is not only interesting but educational as well so it would be nice to send you a gift from time to time. All the best and hope to see another show soon. Best regards. From Petr from the Czech republic.
Welcome back, Hal! Missed you.
Wonderful piece you gave us today! So happy you are back and giving us your knowledge and great stories - 😊
Sure is alot of comments in just 20 min, AND an hour show !!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
was great to see you again Hal. You've been missed. LOL and man I thought you just got back from a vacation or trip :P Be safe and come back with lots of good stories :) Also loved the stories. Fishing stories are always the best lol. I do feel sorry for what happened to your dad though. Wasp stings hurt like hell and that feeling takes its time in going away.
Here 20 min after post🎉 been watching and waiting for a post. Glad I got the notification this time😊
I really enjoy his podcast. In fact this is the only podcast I watch.😊
I love your stories!I I was giggling along with you!!
I watched a show about sharks on the History channel that sharks have 4 behaviors/attacks, this is for great whites. 1. Curiousity 2. Territorial 3. Practice attacks 4. To eat. Basically what Hal is saying.
1- territorial, 2- Eat 3- everything else. First 2 make up 80 percent of attacks
@@SharksHappen thank you!
@SharksHappen Hall I've been listening to you for a couple of years since lockdowns. Keep fighting sir.
So when I consider territorial attacks, especially Juvenile great whites on surfers I think its highly plausible they practice just like young tigers or lions
@@SharksHappenal what about those sub adult/almost adults transitioning to mammal food? Do you think they sometimes 'practice' or trial attack cos they sense we're mammals? I notice a lot of attacks are not huge GWs but 12 footers etc
In Florida Christie is definitely a Great White victim (Watnarsky?)
So glad to see your face Hal!!!!
Thank you so much for such a brilliant show!
The stories of you and your Dad are brilliant. So joyful to listen to.
You're such a clumsy Cluster-fuck, it's adorable. X
We've missed you so much.
I like the way your so laxed out your a cool guy
Happy to see you. Thank You for your videos ❤
In the jackass clip, Poopies got bit in the arm and hand. He almost lost his hand, it was a bad attack and they tried to play it off.
LOL at the shark stealing the man's speargun. The shark maybe seen one before and figured out to try it for themselves.
If you’re ever in Orlando there’s a nice lake I used in Kissimmee lake ToHo. Nice community off OBT. Bait Shop. Lots of huge bass. Red Fin Pickerel. Maybe some chain pickerel. Lots of black Crappie off the dock. Huge alligator Gar. And yes towards the evenings you’ll see the crocs start cruising. Bass Masters use this lake. IVE seen 10LB bass caught here. Bass master told me if a bass was big enough he’d eat me. On the Orlando side there’s some chain ponds and lakes called turkey lake. They are good too.
Great to see you again Hal! Ill never stop supporting you 🦈thank you for this awesome,informative content
Hey Hal! I love the steady stream of content lately. I’m hoping you’ll cover this recent fatality in the Red Sea last month of Russian tourist Vladimir Popov, 23 years old.
They dragged the poor pregnant tiger shark to the beach where the father of the victim beat it to death.
The current theory is that it may have been attracted to shallower waters by people trying to feed it or it was lured there by illegally dumped animal carcasses. There’s also a shortage of food from overfishing, and now they’re culling tiger sharks which are only doing what they’re made to do.
I don’t know if you’ve seen the video yet but holy shit, I will NEVER hear Stand by Me by Ben E. King and be the same again. That, to me, is the eeriest part of the video, this man screaming “Papa!” as hes mauled and consumed to Leiber and Stollers beautiful, orchestral, instrumental masterpiece in Ben E Kings Stand by Me, while jackass onlookers record it on their cell phones.
An hour of New Sharks Happen Content?! Hell yea 🦈
Good to see a new video from you, Hal. We've missed you buddy.
As to the same shark attacking a year later or whatever interval. People can say the dumbest shit sometimes. Of course it's possible, it's also improbable. There are an estimated 1500 White sharks on the West coast of Australia that call it home base. Then there are visitors and passers by and this is just one species that can turn you into a paragraph in the obituaries.
I imagine much of the conjecture re: White shark behaviour is probably correct to varying degrees. eg:
Misidentification? Sure, occasionally from inexperience. Or. Nope, hungry. Or. Oh yeah, been waiting for one of these floating fatties.
Predation? Absolutely. Or. Some don't have a taste for us... if they're starving however. Or. Nope. You just got in the way.
Territorial? Absolutely. Or. Absolutely. May as well eat, too. Or. Sure. Don't want to eat you but interlopers get an arse kicking. Or. Sure. Sorry I killed you. Didn't realise you're so soft and just wanted you gone. Such a scenario would apply to curiosity, too a.k.a a test bite.
Appreciate anyone whom read this far. Just thinking aloud. Cheers big ears ;)
Lol never heard anyone other than me use the phrase "cheers big ears"
Good to see you again 👍
Nice tan! I think that it was funny that, in my mind, the shark 'escorted' the person back to the beach.
So nice to see you again. Really missed you.
Been waiting!!!! I didn't have to search for you or your video. Hopefully that's a good thing and not just on my feed.
Hal, PLEASE don't ever stop providing us with your wonderful information about sharks & the TRUTH about what really happens 😀🦈🦈😀
Amazing knowledge of Sharks and their behaviors Hal. Thank you 💛 and you have been missed! BTW I love the shirt you have on today.
Hal, it's so good to see you again!!!!
Tell your dad that I hope he's doing better! These fishing trips should be video specials.
Til next time....see ya.
Great to see ya, Hal
Yay! He's Baack. Great to see you man⭐
Glad your back. I need my shark fix😢
Hal !! I haven't been getting any notifications for your videos. Glad I found you again. Love your stories!
Not just One Species Hal? Lol 🤣🤣👍
Good to see you, man!
Love the background, & looking forward to hearing your firsthand account ☆🦈☆
This is really brilliant analysis, so much logic supported by real examples. Brilliant stuff
Hal, welcome back!
I have a couple of questions for you.
First, I have heard the theory that pregnant female shark are more likely to attack humans than other sharks.
It seems that the recent horrible attack on the young Russian in Egypt, as well as the two attacks last year on women in the Red Sea, were all done by pregnant female Tiger sharks. The reasoning behind the theory is that pregnant females are slower when hunting than they might otherwise be, and that they’re more apt to hunt slower prey, like humans. Any thoughts?
Second: there’s a video on UA-cam that shows a diver who says that he’s befriended a Tiger shark whom he’s named Emma, in the Bahamas. There’s video of him petting Emma, who swims right up to him and hangs out like a friendly dog. I’d love your take on that. (I believe the video is on the Dodo site.)
Good point about the pregnant sharks. That egypt attack was definitely to predate.
Don’t discount that when most women or female animals are pregnant, our hormones are very sensitive and all-over the place!
I heard on shark week documentary that the metabolism is workin double-time in preg. Female shsrks, making tbem ravenously hungry.
I'm in San Diego. I met a surfer who said his surfer friend has a "girlfriend" that's a tiger shark: whenever he goes out to surf, this tiger shark will come out and hang out with him, and only him.
“pregnant female shark are more likely to attack humans”
If a pregnant female human is more likely to attack other humans … why not a pregnant female shark? :)
I thoroughly enjoy your commentary and laughter. thank you.
Love your videos! 🙂I'm absolutely terrified of sharks! Best shark repellent is stay on land.
Cool, thanks Hal. Made my own halibut fish and chips while listening to you. I caught the halibut in Alaska and the potatoes I grew in the yard :)
Really got good at frying fish this year! I do a corn starch/flower mix with about 10 spices. I use a backyard chicken egg. And combine panko with Parmesan to do an outer coating.
Awesome. I just started using corn starch when frying some foods. Nice thin crisp layer, especially with shrimp
@@SharksHappen I like to use a mixture of corn starch and flower. Corn starch helps a ton!
The level of studying you've put it to this is amazing, thanks for your great work 👍👍
I love your stories. I know your channel's focus is sharks, but curious what you think of the Orcas attacking the boats these days?
Hal I can’t handle so much time between videos!! Miss seeing ya more!!
Don't know if you've already talked about it, but what was that about great white sharks carrying tuna heads in their mouths? Saving it for later? Thanks for a fantastic talk today. Loved it!
Brothers your content is always welcome, I appreciate everything you do
I Love hour channel. Your channel is the only one l watch just you talking for the majority of the time instead of different videos flasing......and l freaking love it.....which is very rare.....so that tells you that youve got something special.. God Bless
