  • I was just in PCB a few weeks ago it was beautiful but lots of seaweed when i went

  • Cool encounter!

    

  • You are really lucky to see this type of shark! Always have wanted to see one!

  • 14 people were accidently filter fed by a basking shark

  • Now that is a beautiful creature

  • what wonderful creature, until it accidentally swallows you :)

  • I woulda dove off the pier and caught it with my teeth. Take that shark! idiot.. no teeth.. ha what kinda shark r u

    "look down dumbass"

  • pause it at 0:27 i would crap my pants if i was that in that canoe

  • This is around where I live.

  • That was freaking NUTS!

  • I admit I would

    Freak out in fear and unessersery panic despite the fact basking sharks don't

    Hurt you!

  • nice job dude love bsking sharks they dont try to eat you if you get to close.

  • Big freaking shark

  • great video! i'v never seen a basking shark ever! where were you at?

  • @left4newbzTWO Panama City Beach county pier

  • @left4newbzTWO Caplinda ? Why do they have big mouths ? :) xx

  • If I was the guy in the conoe and heard all the little kids screaming "Watch out!" I would pretend to fall in the water somewhat close to the shark and start screaming.

  • I just got back from Pcb. I swam fish, dolphins,rays, jellyfish,and crabs,  but this is just awesome!

  • If i was that kayaker i would be haveing a heart attack seriously those things are CREEEPY!!!!!!!!

  • wow it's huge!!!

    this shark is amazing and he's not dangerous ^^

  • This reminded me of a scene in Jaws. Dang, that shark in HUGE.

  • damn it ended before i got to see it eat him

  • I would have pissed myself if I saw that thing coming toward me.

  • 0:48 look out! look out! The guy's like "meh" and the sharks like "meh"

  • it just wanted a hug.

  • is that the pier down by margaritaville?

  • @13east13raly it is the pier 3 miles east of the city pier which is the one you are thinking of

  • @13east13raly I am pretty sure it is as ive been on it and its the same design

  • yes OKN03 but there are also great dive stories and videos on the net.. try the myscubastory site. Type myscubastory into google and its the first one. They have lots of vids pics and true dive stories accidents etc

  • What an awesome gentile giant!

  • so where is the end of the video? why do they cut it off right at the end before the shark swims away? :(

  • @miamigroove I turned the camera off to get some still shots... cause the shark began to swim away

  • The shark - "Nah screw it I'm out of mustard"

  • If I were that kayaker, I'd be shitting bricks, because he/she probably couldn't tell what kinda shark it was and just saw this big dark shark-shaped object. Crikey!

  • yea remember kids anything big tht looks scary is scary o_0

  • what happen to the guy in the canoe???? i would scream if i were him geese

  • @Kgirl4343 he jumped in an swam with it, I have pics

  • @capnlinda Have you posted the pics anywhere? I want to see~

  • @capnlinda I gotta see these picks of him swimming with it

  • @capnlinda may i see that pics? :D

  • @Kgirl4343 You do realize that Basking Sharks are harmless, and even if they tried to attack him how could they with no teeth?

  • @Degitalxxxde3trgfXXX SWOLLOW HIM WHOLE !

  • Comment removed

  • @Kgirl4343 You realize its a basking shark, and there completely harmless.

  • i have been out in the water with them before. they mean no harm. the only times they could harm you is by accidentaly bumping into you or scratching itself up against your boat. they can tip them by accident that way. but i have been out in canoos with them b4 and they do no harm

  • soo....I get that he's not gonna eat that guy or anything but...I think....I would piss myself if I were him....

  • @Ambzelia89 lol me too!!! im scared just looking at the size of the shark and the man down there lol

  • that looks really nightmarish but they're actually harmless

  • isnt basking shark suppose to be bigger then that??

  • Hmm I have the game Endless Ocean 2 for the Wii, and there's a basking shark too.

    I know from the game they don't have teeth, but they have a huge mouth they can open and close to fill with fish. I also know the basking shark is biggest seacreature, under the whale shark. They don't eat/attack people tho

  • @KonataStar00 They can eat humans, but never on purpose or b/c they look at them as a threat, just from sucking in shrimp & other foods they could swallow a human

  • @KonataStar00 The basking shark is the second best shark species, under the whale shark. The whale shark is the biggest fish in the ocean, but the largest sea creature is actually the blue whale, which is also the biggest mammal and possibly the largest animal to ever life on this planet (according to the American Cetacean Society’s webpage “Blue Whale”).

  • shlokda - you must have some bag luck , if you think PCB water looks like garbage! I think it looks great almost year round. not like the keys clear but still really nice most of the time.

  • @capnlinda I guess so. how far off the beach is this? Whenever I'm down at PC, its filled with kelp and seaweeed, cluttiner up the water and making it look dark. I've done scuba diving in the keys and its crystal clear most all the time.

  • @shlokda this is right off the beach, sometimes our beaches will look like that but it usually goes away quickly and most of the year the water is emerald green and the water is beautiful...

  • I konw the shark was only after the plankton and had no desire to harm the kayaker but I would still be having a complete heart attack if that thing started swimming towards me. It's bloody huge!

  • where is part two???

  • They're completely harmless. Really big, scary but harmless.

  • How the hell is PC that clear water? The ocean always looks like garbage in PC on the beach.  Typically have to go down farther south to the Keys or Ft Lauderdale to get that kind of water

  • that shadow is the pier, there is many times a cloud of bait around the pier but that is just the shadow of the pier

  • that shadow is the pier, there is many times a cloud of bait around the pier but that is just the shadow of the pier

  • That shadow at. 25 is the school of bait fish that stay close to the pier.

  • thats a frekin big shark!!

  • "It's coming toward you"! LOOK DOWN LOOK DOWN!!! hahahaha

  • i wanted this to end better

  • its coming towards you! its coming towards you! WHERE IS THE JAWS MUSIC???LOL

  • It may not be deliberately aggressive, but if something that big hit you with its tail, even accidentally, I bet it would cause some pretty serious injury.

  • @Arbeedubya Hi. This fish is a little fella, they grow half as big again as that one, however if you caught the full brunt of that fish's tailslap it would shatter half the bones in your body.

  • wat person would dislike this video?

  • @roxsobad7 14 cops don't watch rods...

  • Basking sharks don't have teeth. They filter feed. So, people aren't on the menu.

  • @xlanmor but they can swallow you whole!! i think

  • @xlanmor Stillll, If I saw that thing with it's mouth open, I'd piss my shorts, I'd faint due to shock, and then drown. :b

  • @xlanmor Stillll, If I saw that thing with it's mouth open, I'd piss my shorts, I'd faint due to shock, and then drown. :b

  • @xlanmor Stillll, If I saw that thing with it's mouth open, I'd piss my shorts, I'd faint due to shock, and then drown. :b

  • damn nature,you scary!

  • Even though Basking sharks are harmless, I'd still need a clean pair of shorts if that were me in the kyack

  • i wouldnt be surprised if that big shadow at 0:25 was a bigger thing than that shark lol

  • @randomfriendlyguy I think that was the shadow from the dock or whatever they were on.

  • i would have SHIT...MY....PANTS!

  • great video of an amazing animal.

  • when i was in the navy as a diver i saw one underwater.  when it opened its mouth to feed i almost pooped myself. even though i knew it was harmless it sure was intimidating.

  • Edrath----- if I was out there and there was a huge fish as cool as that I'd want them to shout it's location to me so I could see it too. Who said anything about it attacking??

  • all I gotta say as Chris Farley would say about this..."HOLY SCHNIKEES!!!"

  • @drath your the idiot those are children. Not everyone is as smart as you think you are. Lol I bet your a pleasure to be around!

  • Awesome!

  • Wished someone had turned around to the idiots shouting and said, "Oh STFU already! It's just a basking shark!" Sorry, but it annoys me when people who know nothing feel the need to make a scene. The shark's not the least interested in eating anyone. It's just feeding harmlessly.

  • Did he dieded??

  • @gking407 dieded ^^ nc

  • @gking407 ... dieded? is that even an english word? hahaha...

  • @gking407 I giggled... lol the shark was harmless

  • Lookout !?!?!

    HOW ????!!!!!! im in the water!

  • I bask in the twilight...

  • @NYtassu LOL!

  • I kayak there often and have never seen a basking shark, they aren't all that common anywhere never mind here. You are more likely to see hammerhead, tiger and bull sharks. So I still think from his perspective it would have been damn near impossible to tell what it was, nevermind risking it, but hey if you go kayaking alone in the ocean you aren't probably the brightest bulb to begin with!

  • That is pretty scary shark haha

  • I bet the kayaker SHIT himself.

  • @xvandyx Their is an actual interview with the guy, he actually went for a "swim" with it considering its harmless to humans.

  • @xxxRENOTSxxx its absolutley harmless

  • @devantej2011 Its hardly "the middle of the ocean." Its a pier, attached to terra firma, with lots of people on it.

  • People seriously, get a grip. It is harmless, and eats plankton. The last thing it is gonna do is a routine from Jaws. That kayaker was safer than he is when driving on any roads. Especially in Florida...

  • @devantej2011 That's not the middle of the ocean that is a pier and most people who kayak know enough about the ocean to recognize a gentle basking shark when they see one which is probably why he didn't panic and was brave enough to kayak there haha.

  • I would have shit my pants anyway.

  • The kayak was a 14 foot kayak to put it in perspective. It scared the hell me and I knew what kind of shark it was and was on the pier. I can't believe that guy knew it was from the kayak before he jumped in with it.

  • That 14 ft kayak looks so tiny next to that huge basking shark!

  • Some of these comments are retarded. Yea it's a Basking shark but it's also 30+ feet long and lives with predators. It's not a puppy. Sure it's probably not gonna bite the guy but that's not to say you want to go swimming with it. Any "normal" person would be scared.

  • You're gonna need a bigger boat...

  • Thats the biggest shark i ever seen...

  • I should have been there! I only live an hour and a half away from PCB :(

  • @AlyKistThe360

    and i live 1 and a half minutes away!

  • that's at least 15ft. very large basker. Cool video

  • What a beautiful basking shark. People these sharks ate harmless! Lol

  • wow didnt realize how big that shark was!

  • wow

  • I saw a bigger one than that off Barnegat Inlet NJ

  • that is all sorts of awesome... though, why isnt anyone jumping OFF the pier to go play with him?! Damn. i wish i was there.

  • Guy in the boat is tough. Purposefully paddles towards it to get a look

  • Everyone was recording this waiting for dude to get eaten.

  • smile you son of a............

  • the shark is bigger than the boat

  • My parents and I used to vacation there when I was little, and Dad would never go in the water because he always said there were sharks. Mom and I used to make fun of him for it...and he just emailed me this. I feel bad now.

  • that guy most be like : OH Shit!!

  • Comin towards you!!

  • kid - "swim with the shark!!" dad - "come on guy, swim with it" LOL

  • Skip to :24 for shark

  • so freaking cool! The kayak is manned by Josh Reeves, who is a shark fishing tour guide, The kayak is 14 feet long which makes the shark around 30 feet. What an awesome video, wish I had been there. Basking sharks are amazing.

  • Omg what happend after the shark swam towards the person??? oO

  • @MayLinEx3 considering basking sharks are filter eaters, nothing happened.

  • I  the video!!I t wowed me to see a basking shark inPCB FL

  • Ok everone if you saw this on the news somewhere let me know where.

    I'm the guy in the yak .

  • @zcarjosh Why don't I believe you

  • People would be afraid because they probably wouldn't know what a basking shark is or able to recognize it ... And even if you did know what it is, your first thought would be"holy sh*t there is a giant shark about to eat me"

  • Those kids sound so scared for the guy, I hope someone let em know that particular shark is harmless to people.

  • Wow, I never would have been able to appreciate the size of one. I know they're docile but I probably would've still had a heart attack at being that close. Thumbs up to the kayaker who braved swimming with it.

  • Basking shark does not eat people

  • i would freak out

  • duuur nuh.....duuur nuh........duur nuh dur nuh duur nuh

  • Great video! Our local news in Portland, Oregon showed this video today.  I realize this was a harmless shark but he's so HUGE! Thank you for sharing this.

  • why are poeple saying they are scared basking sharks dont have teeth lol

  • 1 giant shark

  • guys basking sharks dont have any teeth o - o or is it even carnivorus it cant eat justin bieber it didnt eat the kayaker it didnt murder anybody

  • Wow, that's really weird that a basking shark got to PCB. Usually it's too warm for them. I wonder how it is surviving in the Gulf like that?

  • If only the shark had eaten Justin Bieber!

  • @sheercold7 it cant eat him tho it has no teeth to destroy him even if it swallowed him justin bieber would be saved by a psycho fan who would rip open the sharks stomach o - o

  • @sheercold7 it cant eat him tho it has no teeth to destroy him even if it swallowed him justin bieber would be saved by a psycho fan who would rip open the sharks stomach

  • @sheercold7 it cant its not carnivorus it doesnt have teeth

  • yes he was eaten part 2 is coming....j/k no it's a docile basking shark, they eat plankton. The kayaker did jump in the water and swim with the shark though but as soon as Josh grabbed it's tail the shark swam away from him

  • Did he get eaten because u stopes the video right then

  • @eitakandmas these sharks dont has teeth o -o to rip some 1's body parts or take a bite out of and they feed on plankton

  • @eitakandmas no their not carnivorus

  • OML. i wouldve peed my pants.

  • He is so HUGE! wow!

  • WOW!

  • I Shark YOU

  • Comment removed

  • ого!!!!!!!

  • I went fishing in my kayak this morning and there were these little blue critters jumping everywhere that I'm pretty sure is what the shark is feeding on and the reason it was hanging around. I took video of it and will post it

  • @capnlinda i feel really jealous with you because you can go kayak in the morning and enjoy the beautiful scenery like this . I would kill ( lol jk ) to trade my place with you .

    cheers from Malaysia .
