Myrtle Beach Shark 2

[born2huntforever]

i live in myrtle beach and live right next to the beach, myrtle beach sucks. i lived at the same place for all of my 16 years and myrtle beach is boring.

[onblock7]

@born2huntforever I liked it the first two times I visited and the third time this year was ehhhhhhhhh, got old quickly so I can't imagine living there. It is a nice beach to visit from time to time I guess, but I will go elsewhere next year.

[getalife67]

Yes a thrasher shark

[justsomebody76]

Thrasher



[MrHaz1993]

y stand there and stare at it like a lemon, u can see its in trouble!!

y didnt u try and push the poor thing back out.

[Veenstra14]

@MrHaz1993 shut up , you would have to be an idiot to go in there and try and push a shark that size into the water.

[antzzz111]

@MrHaz1993 I would like to see you try and push a 300lb shark back into the ocean, mainly because you would never come back.

[TheSwineflu03]

@caramelhiggens Well you're just a hateful person. So from a "yankee" God Bless and I'll be down there in about a week to enjoy your beautiful beaches.

[fghjtyjij]

@TheSwineflu03 what part u from bro im from brooklyn

[TheSwineflu03]

@caramelhiggens I can understand that. I live in a small town and don't really want it to grow too big either. However, my point is that your state wouldn't be able to enjoy the things it does without the tourism industry. Of course I don't know the figure,but I'm sure the tax revenue brought in by tourists is pretty big. You are blessed with a beautiful piece of the country that has been made great by people like you. You should want to share that with your fellow Americans.

[TheSwineflu03]

@caramelhiggens My friend, if it wasn't for the "overwhelming yankees" coming down there, Myrtle Beach wouldn't be what it is.

[chocomilk788]

Bigeyed Thresher?

[dougconley]

You gotta be kidding me! I swim in that water every year! 

[Mrmonkeylickingatutu]

[frostyaquatroopleade]

I went on the boardwalk at Myrtle beach and fed a few of these and plus a hammerhead my mom is good friends with the state park ranger i'm so lucky and actually the sharks are pretty nice like if your swimming there not gonna go up and bite you

[wake08forest]

[japaneseguineapig]

[o0Guns0o]

[FuckedUpMentalCase]

[rickettsmusic]

[AflacCupSeries]

sweet a thresher shark

[barbershop0525]

holy hell, didnt know threshers roamed the Myrtle Beach coastlines... they are typically deep water sharks in the pacific ocean

[TheBoblob100]

@barbershop0525...dude there are also great whites

really far out but still...don't belive me, go check out the pier, theyve got some pictures

[dillydelli]

Wow!!!

[sk8trman1296]

i remember i went to myrtle beach and saw like 10 jellyfishes stuck to the sand and i got stung by like 2 of them

[triezen007]

Yeah that is definately a Thresher Shark.

[DerrickH1969]

Every year at Mem. Day, my son and me go fishing off Cherry Grove Pier. We always catch a lot of small sharks, about a foot or so. They are normally caught late evening near dark, and usually take cut squid. We catch sometimes 20 or more in one evening. Does anyone know what kind of sharks these are?

[jporter617]

spiny dogsharks, if they have green eyes,white spots, purple/pink color with white bellys i caught around 20-30 2 weeks ago on that pier

[mdjlmj]

@DerrickH1969 you are catching atlantic blue sharks.They love to hang out around the piers.Everyone loves to see them when you reel one up....REMEMBER ALWAYS THROW THEM BACK...Have fun..And don't swim next to the pier...

[fisher446]

@DerrickH1969 sandsharks

[TheThemonsterman]

i live in myrtle beach. i remember that. i was at the beach

[nyjets58]

thresher dumbass! looks nothing llke a bull...why not it be a great white..lol

[LEDZEPPELINFAN95]

ive caught a 20 kingfish on my favorite trout flat

[LEDZEPPELINFAN95]

how the hell is that a bull

that is obvoiusly a thresher look at the tail

i had no clue they came that close to shore or maybe it got lost

[FattyArbuckle1981]

you're either 5 yrs old or a teenage girl, aren't you?

[jaylonjonas]

omg were was that im scared i need all the help i can get cause im going in aug and i dont like sharks

[tdsmeg4]

you might not have been there yet but people check the waters and the life guards would not let you in the water either and they use flags that say specific thing and all i say there was a dead ray that was the size of your hand way up on the beach on a rock and a dead jelly fish washed up on shore and a fish smaller then your hand the jumped out of the water just be careful during the evening for jelly fish don't go way too far out then then i'd just let waves be the entertainment

[jaylonjonas]

omg thank you i just left i was in south carolina it was fun but i didnt get in the water that much cause my mom didnt want me to mess up my hair ugh but i like it and i think im going back on spring break

[tdsmeg4]

your welcome and you can pony tail your hair before getting in the water it might help i remember last year i was too worried that i would find a fish or something all i did was play around the waves but my siblings went out freakin far and i figured it should be safe although the fish that was 3 or 4 inches that jumped out the water made me and my siblings stop playing the fish was cute it just hopped out the water it was cute and a wave when it was night time decided to jump on my bottom

[jaylonjonas]

aww cute i didnt get to see fish but i will try the pony tail thing next time ;]

[FattyArbuckle1981]

You only have to worry about jelly fish in the spring. There are sharks, but most of them are small. With the life guards, you have nothing to worry about. MB is 1 of my fav vacation spots.

PLEASE USE PUNCTUATION.

[tdsmeg4]

i don't have to use punctuation cuz i don't want to

[SOSAnimals2013]

you do know those sharks are close to extinction right?

[Cathooker2]

I remember a 12 foot Thresher washing ashore over 25 years ago near seacond ave. pier is was buried in the sand dunes.

I caught and released a Dusky shark the video is on my channel.

[BEACHTRAVELERS]

I have never seen a shark in the surf, but I have several times off the ends of the fishing peirs.

[jonnyblooz]

Same as others posted, I would never have expected to see a Thresher Shark in the surf at MB.

[hollister0017]

I LOVE MYTRLE BEACHHHHHHH!

[gunsnrosesrazorscoot]

@hollister0017 im going tomorow dude!

[dawhiteguy622]

@hollister0017 myrtle beach blows...its a fucking shit toursit trap....nothing but generic beach stores, and strip clubs....fucking horrible town

[crystalbratcher30ify]

@dawhiteguy622 hey i been down there.it is a great town dont start nothing you cannot finish

[lovericki123]

i live in myrtle beach and i've seen one but don't worry...besides nothings ever happened to me!!!!myrtle beach is awesome....

[sweetponyjewel]

hey i go there every year!!! ...thanks you might have ruined it for me. anywho, why didn't anyone help it? aren't those rare or something?

[iluvsaltandpepper]

wow. i went to myrtle beach spring of '07 and '08. now i'm afraid to go back! we saw TONS of jellyfish while we were there though, and there was a huge group of stingrays about 30 feet out into the water. it was really cool.

[tdsmeg4]

there should have been flags up

[samster145]

No, we took this in December, '07

[naser007]

was that in '06? in october '06 in north myrtle a shark came up on the beach like that - it was amazing. the police said there was a large school of dozens off shore that year, in october, because the fish were there - one of those things i guess ..

[mysticviolet781]

Sharks are like people some are very smart other not so much lol

[FreezinghotChannel]

Thresher shark in Myrtle Beach? I didn't know they were in these waters... Cool!

[gpaq17]

Cool Thresher shark... They are mean though. Just chased bait too far. It will be fine

[jeenyus720]

id help it.. just so i can say i touched a shark. lol

[samster145]

The tide brought it in from pretty far out, and It couldn't fight its way back. Right after if washed up animal control showed up and took it away.

[gunsnrosesrazorscoot]

@samster145 they are mostly found in the Philipines. i myself am going to myrtle beach tommorow

[fishin1111]

@samster145 animal control took it away? Really? DNR wasn't there? oh my....a thresher doesn't normally create a danger in the way a tiger, bullie, spinner, or mako would this close in shore. A thresher coming in this close is very unusual, however, evidently it DOES HAPPEN! I wonder if animal control took it out alive and kept it alive for an aquarium? hmm, that is really interesting. Thanks for posting this video, it's very interesting. You were in the right place at the right time!

[mamasboy815]

@fishin1111 I doubt a thresher could live in a aquarium enviroment? Gulf stream current is hard to mimic. I hope it didnt die in vane.

[fishin1111]

@mamasboy815 there are a few threshers in the national aquarium in Baltimore, Md. but I'm not sure if they were born in captivation or caught, treated and transferred there. The aquariums do not have to mimic the currents, they have to provide a chemically equivalent water enviornment, i.e. salt, etc. I totally agree with you about dying in vain. I hope not too. It seems there was no reason for so many organizations to get involved with this thresher. Should have let him go, he would have lived.

[mamasboy815]

@fishin1111 I agree! Thanks for the info! I see the authority figures in Myrtle beach getting involved in things that dont involve them. To protect the shark from beach goers would be fine,but to interfere with the natural is not there job.

[bublegumcandy]

is that real?

[0000ll]

was it stuck in the tide?

why didn't anyone help it?

[exmortis6]

id be scared filming that

[ogwc123]

probably died. that sucks

[bammer73]

Well that certainly doesn't look like at toy now does it?

[TheHahaBoomBoomShark]

Woe! Thats one cool Shark! x
