This is the largest Great White Shark I've Seen this Year & My Camera Catches a Fin from Shore.

- Опубліковано 9 чер 2024
- I placed my camera on the beach and hit record. What I find when I review the footage is not a surprise. I find two great white sharks just behind the surf unknown to the swimmers. Also in this week's update, I share footage of the largest white shark I've filmed thus far this year. I document several boats getting rather close to sharks. How close is too close? Are the sharks and people getting too comfortable around each other? Let me know in the comments.

Your drone actually came in handy with those folks who were teasing/enticing the shark, they stopped doing that after they saw the drone. Thank you for your wonderful videos
I found it funny how it was the boat of lads that were respectful to the shark, whereas the family was agitating the water, trying to draw one in.
Because they're dumb and entitled people with no common sense. They're the reasons we have signs up on areas where sea turtles with nests informing them not to touch the eggs. They have no boundaries.
The lads will probably be water sports fans, with hundreds of hours spent actually _in_ the water. And, have therefore learned to respect the ocean. The family, on the other hand, were probably daytrippers, with little connection or respect for those surroundings.
That makes me sick to see how dumb people are. I’d say a lot feed them that brings them in .
@@LMAODOODZ Yep....any thing for my kid crowd. Disgusting
@@Dooguy Pisses me off beyond belief.
Your videos have actually taken away alot of my fears and misconceptions about white sharks, because you have shown they are mostly docile and extremely cautious in what they approach. Now that I’m surfing almost every weekend, I wonder how many times they’ve been out there with me.
I agree 100 percent about the knowledge we have all learned here. But there is no way I could go out there surfing. I get nervous in the middle of a lake. 😳. Be safe surfer dude 🏄♂️ 👍👉.
They are there every time.
@@missfriscowin3606 LOL I used to feel that way too, and I’d be lying if I said that I still didn’t get nervous out there at times, just now I know a lot more about there behaviors and that actually puts my mind at ease. Take care 🤙🏻🌊
@@NitroModelsAndComics for sure, it’s there home…We’re just a guest
@@manofpeace2953 In 02 I was at a skateboard race in Folly Beach NC. We got rained out so we boogie boarded instead. When we came in the and went up the beach the guy at the inlet said there was a good sized White Shark in the area. I didn't know it but it always reminds of something I was told years ago. If you are in the water, you are in the water with sharks.
With a boat named “slaughter time’, does it surprise anyone that this guy doesn’t really care if he’s interfering?
Bro. Fish taste good. Harvesting your own most sustainable
@@tmoneyphresh comeback when you get the point you so easily missed
Slaughter Time is a caveman
How dumb can you be?! Fishing is fine... that's not the problem. You're probably a trophy hunter who gets his kicks out of shooting & killing endangered animals to make up for 'what' you lack....
That is definitely a big boy ready to go to college
Not big at all.
@@billyrock8305 Oh calm down Quint.
@@MattDavisDH 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Possibly, though probably more likely a big Girl.
wow! big shark, great size comparison next to the boat
Thanks. It was big for sure.
@@TheMalibuArtist please come to Santa cruz!! We have a known breeding area on sea state beach!
Showcasing positive or neutral interactions is an incredible public service.
Nice to see people candidly treating nature with the respect it deserves.
Exactamundo, I think alotta people realised the BS reputation Sharks , especially GW Sharks have from Jaws is just that, BS. Most of us realised now that to see this magnificent creation in the wild, is one of life's miracle and a privileged.
@@theprinceoftides6836 yes theyre not made to be scared off
We should be grateful that they balancing the ecosystem
Notice how the Broom Family stopped that behaviour when they realized they were being watched. :/
The Sweeper family and the Swifters uncle Mop are still traumatized from incident
It's not ideal behavior but grossly over exaggerated. The shark is not a snowflake, if it feels uncomfortable it has literally the entire ocean to swim to, or even submerge more.
I can't believe those guys that drove their boat right in front of the drone. 7:44 So rude!
Bunch of Karen's
Unfortunate that people lack common sense and simple manners..
Legally, the drone operator needs to be aware of other people, not the other way around.
Calm down girls …. It’s just a bloody fish.
@@tichu7 Those people not only had absolutely no respect for and completely disregarded the drone, they were also using it to irresponsibly track, get way too close to, agitate, and chase a shark for what? So they could take their precious selfish? Fuck those people.
Person smacks surface of water with object to attract shark
"I'm gonna give you a smaller boat, maybe that way you'll learn your lesson".
Forget a boat, give him a paddle board but no paddle.
2:11= The classic; " I think we're gonna need a bigger boat" moment....🦈
Lol, I was looking for this comment🛥
Came to say this.
“This is not an ideal interaction.” STFU. NO ASKED YOU. Go back to wearing a mask alone in your car.
Having grown up and lived in SoCal for 40+ years with many summers and winters spent in the Pacific Ocean, it just makes me believe that shark attacks are super rare. As your video points out, they're literally RIGHT there right next to us.
When I was on the swim team, we'd sometimes practice out in the ocean by doing laps out to the buoys. Easily 500 - 1000 meters an afternoon. I can't imagine what a buffet line we must've looked liked :D But not one incident in all those years. This video just reinforces that.
Like most animals, I believe if they don't want to be seen, they won't be.
Another excellent video. I really hope you can get this on local media to educate the public. We must do all we can to protect these sharks and other marine life.
Protect sharks from what? Their numbers keep increasing and theres nothing (including humans) threatening them.
@@reneesantiago6496 Dead wrong. If you have spent time in the ocean around the world over the last 35 years like I have, then you would see firsthand the issues threatening all marine life.
@@reneesantiago6496 your wrong bro theyre kinda decreasing because of shark finning
Such an important message for humans to reconsider their behaviors!
Sadly, can’t fix stupid :(
....and just what behavior do you think ppl should reconsider??
@@reneesantiago6496 Interfering with natures natural course. Come on you cant be that dense
@@reneesantiago6496 wait for the vegan speech...
Yes media kinda ruined their rep, sharks r indeed dangerous animals but theyre not always aggressive, they dont kill 5 people a day like jaws
Great job as always. Can't believe that guy just about takes out ur drone like that. Goes to show how much ppl care about others let alone animals.
likely that the boat captian didn't see the drone.. You know most of the time when we are piloting a boat.. were looking at the water not the sky.
@@oceancoast92657 I live on the water and have 2 boats and that was pretty close plus ppl on the deck. They seen that drone my man
@@oceancoast92657
The Malibu Artist actually said that people are now using his drone to find/chase sharks, and that’s what these people were doing.
@@boop4904 Using the drone siting to help you find chase sharks is a relative and imprecise thing. It's like noting where the whale watching boat is and head over to see if you'll see a whale. The boat operator likely saw the drone in the air and headed that direction.. The only one who knows for sure if the drone is hovering over a shark is theMalibuAritist. And we know that the drone isn't always over a shark.. in fact from his videos quite frequently he not over a shark, but off at a distance... and I'm sure being a drone operator myself there is tons of drone footage where the drone is just over water... nothing going on. So the boat operator sees the drone and takes a chance that there might be something to see.. After he begins heading to where he saw the drone.. he's not looking at the sky, but the water. What's in the water is much much more important to safety of his boat and his passengers.. and after all the drone may not even be over a shark.
Another thing to keep in mind that when it comes to "rules of the road" or sky so to speak out there.. It would be the drone operators obligation to get out of the way of the boat.. not the other way around.
@@floridacracker_ Quite possibly yes.. My guess is they noted the drone and headed that way.. however, the boat operator doesn't know if the drone is actually over a shark or not.. Only the drone operator knows this.. So the boat operator takes a chance and heads that way.. If you own a boat, as I do, you must agree that you first priority is watching where your boat is and what's in the WATER .. not sky. Furthermore, maybe you aren't aware, but it's the drone operators obligation to avoid the boat, not the boat to avoid the drone. The boat has right of way.
Another great and insightful video providing an alternative side to most people’s perception of these magnificent animals. Many thanks.
Im finally caught up on your last 3 posts.
Your work is so beautiful and important! My gkids watch with me 🤗
Id be so disappointed if I missed one
Cannot wait for this premiere! Your work is crucial. And we love you and what you do
"I'm sure the folks mean no harm to the shark" umm their boat is literally called "slaughter time". Something tells me they don't have much respect for the ocean and its creatures.
Sharks are smarter then most people. If they don,t respect the ocean they will find out whatshappen.
I'm so scared of sharks that I don't even swim in the sea. that's respect I have for them and love them.
I wish that so many of us weren’t such dorks. People make me sad, more often than not. Animals are the best.
Funny how they stopped splashing as soon as they saw the drone. I think your assessment is correct.
@@hendriepatton478 'Sharks are smarter then most people. '
No.... just no you muppet.
@@billcar6805 Yes, they are. People r getting dumber by the year.
That shark is huge! can't wait for it to come out! This is going to be INSANE!
Thanks my friend.
@@TheMalibuArtist thanks! saw a shark pass by hundreds of bat rays this morning but it didn't care about the rays! it just kept swimming.
Thank you again TheMalibuArtist for taking the time and energy to share with us your findings and bringing a voice for creatures of the ocean to us!
For someone like me who isn't near the coast and is unable to visit the ocean, I'm always excited to see what you have to show.
It is unfortunate to see some people engaging in the behaviors we have seen here but hopefully through your videos and people spreading the word that we'll see less of these disruptive behaviors in the future.
I have lived in Michigan most of my life, and I've been an avid fisherman. I was absolutely terrified of sharks because I'm very familiar with the aggressive tendencies of smaller freshwater fish. The number of times I've fished top water and have had big fish ambush the lure out of nowhere made me aware of just how easily a fish as large as a white shark could take a human, if it wanted to. Between watching drone footage and watching spearfishing footage, it has really opened my eyes to how different large shark behavior is to the fish that I'm familiar with. I'm still not willing to go into their domain though lol.
Sharks generally don’t seem to want to attack humans but in my heart of fear I feel like the ‘On Any Given Sunday’ rule applies.
That is because you aren't a fool. ;)
Andy Casagrande and others have spent enough time free diving with and hand feeding sharks of all kinds to prove sharks are not really aggressive towards humans, plus Mark Rober on YT did the human blood vs fish blood shark test in shark infested waters and definitively proved sharks are not interested in human/mammal blood at all. It's different when you enter the water to compete for a food source with predators in the area and release dead fish smells aka ring the dinner bell ;but humans that get bit often act like a prey item.
Whale sharks would never "take a human" since they are filter feeders. I am glad you will avoid their domain. You sound like a total Michigander crazy. Sea life does not need that.
Always enjoy your fascinating videos of sharks - the background music is nice and soothing too! Thanks!
Many thanks
Dun dun dun dun dundun.....
SHARK: Stop Stereotyping Me, I'm More Complex Than That!
People are causing them to come near boats will result in more attacks. Great footage as always.
"and while I am sure the folks mean no harm to the shark" as it pans into the "slaughter time" decal on the boat lol
You have re-inspired me to go into marine biology from these videos. I’ve always been mesmerized by sharks and marine life and listening to you and watching all of these videos has helped me so much. Thank you for what you do.
Love your videos as always! I adore the factual information you share as well. Great work 👏 👍 👌
For your UK viewers (like me), there is the Shark Trust based in Plymouth! Nice shots, as usual 😊
I lived along the coast in southern California for fourty something years and I don't recall the water being so clear. I could never see what was right next to me while swimming. Probably a good thing after watching your videos.
Right? It is still quite murky often up North in Ventura County and when swells come it. I dive at night and have been brushed by seals and sea lions I couldn't even see approaching
@@davidbelinsky4825 In his videos the beaches look familiar but the shots of the water are not at all like I remember. Even being on a boat you couldn't see more than an arms length down. Must be kind of creepy to feel things brush against you out of no where. Not a hobby I'd be persuing. Are you sure they were seals and sea lions? Some of the sea lions I'd see lounging on the moored boats in Santa Barbara were quite large.
What you missed was probably a shark smiling at you and saying have a nice day.
@@hoibsh21 LOL, they have the teeth for such a smile.
@@susanmann2562 Ya, I wish I had an endless supply of replacement teeth to last a millennia, but we humans are cursed with only one set of teeth.
I love how positive and beautiful your videos are. Sharks have such a bad reputation of being monsters and killers, when in fact they are beautiful animals who deserve our respect. Good job!
Amazing! Sharks need to be protected and it's nice that most people that you see respect them ❤️
Protected from what?? Their numbers keep increasing
@@reneesantiago6496 lets see have you even looked it up? estimated humans kill over 50 million sharks per year mostly for their fins. it seems like a huge number but then again the estimate is since there are over 400 types of sharks in the ocean that the population is over 1 billion.
@@reneesantiago6496 Notice how in the video the author says its bad for humans and especially bad for the sharks emphasizing more importance on the sharks feeding habits rather than humans lives which should tell you a lot about this video. ;)
@@rltrahan1325 EXACTLY!!
I hope to observe sharks in person someday. Your videos are so beautiful and calming. Thank-you so very much for sharing! Some of these people (the people interfering) are why I prefer animals over most people.
You will probably need 3 barrels, to keep it from going down.
lol
Amazing as always! Thank you so much for sharing your footage and thoughts!
Thank you for always uploading such suspenseful, yet educational videos. Love ot
What amazing footage all around. I appreciate your PSA regarding shark interactions. I just love your channel.
Glad you're out there spreading the right kind of message whilst gaining terrific footage, showing the two aren't mutually exclusive.
It does never cease to amaze me how anybody wouldn't take very seriously the collateral of agitating a potentially dangerous wild animal in close proximity to other people. To interfere with a large White close to shore and not take seriously that when you finally leave it alone you've got an agitated White shark close to shore. Certainly it's not suddenly going to start hunting humans for sport but it is taken well outside its own comfortable behavioural routines and there are swimmers nearby. Surely some safety legislation is conceivable for that specific reasoning, if someone was shortly attacked following interference wouldn't that be negligent homicide by proxy?
I saw this enclosure one time where you could pay the handlers to enter the cages with sedated wild tigers. Some young Japanese tourists were literally climbing onto one about the size of a small car to take selfies, whilst the handler was trying to keep it distracted by continually feeding it morsels of chicken laced with sedatives. I did a quick internet search for the site's safety record and just two weeks earlier a tourist was maimed with a single paw swipe and a girl killed. They don't attack the handlers, they're used to them, they kill tourists who agitate them enough to wake them up from sedation, since only enough is given to make them dopey not knock them out. And people are too stupid to realise this.
When they say humans are a bigger danger than wild animals, they're talking about stupidity. Negligence of authorities and stupidity common to random people.
Look from afar, leave the damn animals alone. Everybody wants to be that grizzly man that got eaten with his girlfriend. So spiritual to swim with the Great White, yeah fuck off dickhead, not even the tribal indigenous are on your side about that shit, it's not in tune with anything but ego and when they get themselves killed, despite any disclaimer authorities have to go out and shoot the thing. People are idiots man. Aliens would head desk. Humans actually need to be told to leave the giant boat sized shark with razor teeth alone. Talk about a blind evolutionary branch.
Amen to that!
We need a guy like you on every beach to track the sharks and warn people who get too close.
Such a crucial message. Thank you for all you do, and so beautifully too.
Love this . Having been interested in sharks for some years some experts believe sharks are curious and will investigate objects floating on the water .
I am not a critic, although I think in one of my initial comments on watching your videos I came off as one. But if I was, I am now an admirer fully. Each video keeps getting better, and your message more concrete (to me anyway). You are doing a very valuable service, and I'm loving it. Keep educating us, as I know you enjoy also educating yourself. That was one big shark by the way. It looked to be 2/3 of the boat length at least, so ~ 12' plus yes? Thanks again TMA.
Love your video work. Beautiful content and very informative. Great job!
Awesome, beautiful animals. Thank you for sharing such remarkable footage with us. You are also a wonderful narrator.!!🦈
Amazing contrast ..we need more people like you! Thank you 🦈🖤
Amazing as always mate!
Amazing footage as always!
Ich freue mich drauf!!! Thank you. 1000 Grüße aus Deutschland ( Germany) from Tina
I love your footage and narration. Thank you for showing these majestic creatures as they swim naturally. I told my dentist about you because her daughter is interested in marine biology but is afraid of sharks. I told her that your footage shows normal behavior and maybe they won't be as scary for her. (I do catch myself saying oh no... Nope... When I see how close to shore they are! 😅)
Great to see this guy getting more and more subscribers, as a channel it's absolutely top drawer.
I love your footage. Where do you get most of your sightings? We go to Oceanside alot and live in Arizona. I have been fascinated with Great Whites since the original Jaws but have never seen a shark fin from shore. Keep up the good work as I can see you have a love for these creatures.
Another brilliant video by TheMalibuArtist. I find these videos very serene (did I actually say that after seeing Jaws as a 6-year old?) and educational. Thank you for showing us their real nature, not the ones portrayed by Hollywood.
This is why your educating on sharks is vital..great videos 👍
You work is amazing I show your videos to my kids at school. thank you for respecting nature. Our hero!!
NO SCARY MUSIC !!!LOVE IT!!!
This is the best and accurate channel of sharks in the whole youtube. Thanks for such an amazing work.
Beautiful footage and commentary.
Thank you
Another great vid mate
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. 🦈🦈🦈
I understand so much more about this mysterious animal because of your videos and narration, thank you 💜
I always love your vids💯🦈💙👌
Wow that was definitely a huge shark. Seeing it next to the boat was a great indication of just how big it was. Thanks for another incredible and informative video!!
❤️ 4 sharks & people encounters, your perspective & views much respect ✊
at which beach did you film this footage? i usually surf around manhattan beach and try my best not to think about how many sharks are probably around me lol
I love these videos. Thank you!
Great footage and insights, as ever! Kudus from Portugal
Amazing footage of one of the 3 most amazing predators in the planet. Your footage is gaining ground and has been referenced in quite a few youtube posts I have seen. That was at least a 23 foot boat, my guess it was a 25 footer. That has to be one of the largest white pointers that has ever been filmed, good on you brother... 1. Great White 2. Siberian Tiger 3.Orca...... Boom 💥
I always love your videos! As scared as I'm am of the ocean, sharks in particular, I'm always fascinated watching videos of them.
That said, I don't understand why pple wld want to draw a shark closer to their wobbly boat! That's insane to me!
To be honest this channel has a place on Discovery to educate people. Top notch content that deserves 👏👏
You do a great job and these are very unique videos we needed to see
Brilliant! I go to malibu every weekend to swim and chill on the beach and I tell everyone about your channel!
Awesome vid, thank you!
I just love these videos you share with us mate. These people should count themselves lucky to be so close to these beautiful and majestic animals in their natural habitat but also to always show respect
Many Blessings to you, Thanks so very much!
I love your videos! Good job!
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!
It is absolutely disgusting watching people agitate sharks in their own home like that. Leave nature alone, enjoy it from afar and stop trying to bend it to your will.
Malibu Artist goes out there in a (power?) boat, an act which is an interference and a distraction to marine life in its own right; he operates a drone (think that goes unnoticed in an ocean accustomed to millions of years of predatory bird life?) that creates notice, congestion, in a social media-crazy culture, you think he's leaving nature alone?
It's so cool to look at sharks this close. I live in Sweden and we don't have sharks of that size here! Sooo coool! 😄
Great video 🎥👀channel and narration!
Great video and I amazed at how clear the water looks in this video. Are they all from the Malibu area, L.A. County, Ventura? Just curious as I don't recall so many sharks in the early 90's when I was a frequent beach goer.
Beautiful! TY!
Wow. What a big one. Stunning beautiful 💖
Awesome Carlos!
The first shark was huge! At the end, with the beach angle I only caught 1 of the 2. I’ll keep training my eye! Thanks
I only caught one too. Maybe I need to see it on my computer instead of my phone.
Stephanie, There is one up close, moving left and right. There is another much larger shark offshore, Moving towards the beach. Actually swimming straight towards the camera.
Hi Charles, so I watched again and was only catching the left to right fin and something very large off center to the right back a ways. The I popped over to IG and found the other fin in the closer foreground that enters from the right first.
I think narrowing my area of vision helped but probably not practical. Any idea what the object is in the distance off to the right?
Thank you so much for your great content gathering all this knowledge to protect these beautiful sharks supporting a respectful and peaceful coexistence.
I would not swim to a boat named slaughter time.
Me either, what a name to give a boat
You’re doing such beautiful and needed work, Malibu Artist. Thank you for your service to these incredible animals 🙏♥️
My favourite channel 💛
Wow. Your videos are amazing.
Love your videos!!! Love sharks!
You’re so right man. Well done, well done indeed. We need to preserve these prehistoric animals. Thank you my friend.
Thank you for what you do!👏💞
Cheers and thanks TMA,, ❣️
Amazing photography
I'm calling the Cuddy Cabin outboard with the three guys following the bruiser at 20 feet in length and just a hand comparison, I'm calling that adult White at 14 feet. What you can't see is the volume or girth of the shark.
One thing that happens when these sharks mature is that their volume to surface area changes a lot. These bigger sharks are not only longer, but their overall displacement is disproportionally greater. I remember watching some tagging and tissue and blood sampling done on a share in New England caught on a line and brought into a "dry dock" work area, She was 12 feet in length but so very much more disproportionally in girth than much younger sharks.
Your doing Great Work. Thank you. Excellent Video sequences. What type and model of Drone are you using for the video? Do you have flotation as emergency contingency on it? Thank you again.
This is awesome content!
Thank you for the beautiful videos & the very important information you share. As always, I am impressed with the incredible beauty of these beings & how “human” like their curiosity. I am grateful for the work you do, you are inspiring;)
You're amazing ! .. Thank you for all of your work .. I love how much you're trying to educate people about what you've learned about innocent, beautiful sharks in THEIR TERRITORY .. I really hope that they can come up w/laws, that people cannot get so close to sharks while in boats w/these harmful, lethal motors ! .. It's so sad what us humans do are always doing to hurt beautiful nature !
They truly are a beautiful animal. Thank you. God Bless you and yours. Please stay safe.
This is such a beautiful video. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for your work. 🎯🇸🇪
