Kayaker's rare encounter with huge shark!! Florida kayaker has close encounter with enormous shark!!

[anaboheme]

apparently everybody is now a shark expert, i would've shitted my pants... my kayaker pants

[fstylezkrNNN]

i wanna pat the DOLPHIN!!

[floridafishingo]

Actually if you watch the real video he dives out of his kayak and swims with it for a little bit, the kids saying look down and coming towards you are just telling him where it is so he can swim with it.... of course all you know these basking sharks are harmless thats why he was trying to swim with it

[ImGonnaYouYourTube]

Basking sharks are actually fish. They're the second largest fish in the world and have no teeth. They don't eat meat so are harmless.

[astonmartinvee8]

look down, look down, what is he going to do, levitate out of the kayak?

[Funny4066]

I would have been scared 2 shit!

[k1llaxXx]

lucky that wasnt a tiger

[GoldenWolfPro]

Can you imagine how terrified that guy must of felt when those people were screaming "SHARK" "ITS COMING TOWARDS YOU!" "LOOK DOWN" I think I would of had a heart attack...even if it was a basking shark!

[fantome56100]

c'est un requin pélerin inofensif pour l'homme !!!

[veigvideos]

AMAZING

[MrFisherman322]

Basking shark. Harmless

[xXxSudouxXx]

harmless my ass! that shark can still swallow me!

[SolDeTiempo]

No matter how many times I've Seen a basking shark. No matter how harmless they are. I'd still be shitting Myself if i was in a kayak and it was coming towards me...

[iwillstandforjesus1]

im glad i dont live in Florida , thats scary . but the good thing is that them sharks are completly harmless

[madiboo104]

@iwillstandforjesus1 Florida is beautiful, and sharks aren't always around. The water is beautiful and besides I've lived in Florida my whole life, the only sharks I've seen are nurse, lemon, and a few sand.

[chulkcha]

Its a Basking shark. Harmless! Eats planktons

[hcook47]

That was a close call. He could have been "gummed" to death.

[xXRickJames]

That kayaker was thinking.....DAMN NATURE YOU'RE SCARY

[tombof101]

i was like its no very big...whoa is that a kyaker!!!

[Frederik5495]

man, thats a harmless shark...its a .. in germany it called "riesenhai" ... the correct word is "Cetorhinus maximus" .. this animals grow up to 10 meters and they eat like some whales .. ONLY PLANKTON .. no shark is a killer, sharks are like dogs i think. more people died in the last time by exploading toasters, or other people accidents....they're harmless, no monsters i think!!

[limewolf3]

at first i thought the guy in teh kayak was actually a toy boat and i was like "that shark isnt that big" then i looked closely and i was like ......omygosh

[ilivestronger]

[g8rgirl101]

[Blondewelshgirl93]

[THEATLANTEAN4]

It's all fun and games until something 3 times the size of your water-vessel approaches you. Harmless or not, I may have dirtied me trunks! Beauty........

[WENDYEARP]

WHY did the stupid A*&^ stop filming it? I wanted to see more. Why in the hell would you film that, then stop when it was getting good?

[4HitsWilystyle]

@WENDYEARP he jumps in and swims with it, now I can't find the video.

[05raf]

Basking sharks are not considered dangerous to the passive observer and are generally tolerant of divers and boats. Despite this, its sheer size and power must be respected (there are reports of sharks attacking boats after being harpooned). In addition, contact with its skin should be avoided, as its large dermal denticles have been known to inflict damage on divers and scientists. Florida Museum of Natural History

[LoganHawj]

White people always be doing shit like this.

[1ceaser]

@LoganHawj Dey sho nuf be sum ignant mu fuckas

[Klaivette]

I probably would have had a heartattack and died....I personally do not care if "human" is on the menu or not.....the SIZE of that thing.....and you could tell the kayaker and the shark were not that far apart either....

[derveish]

139 people gave up sea kayaking after seeing this.

[flipbuoyant]

wtf. soooo big!

[acarab01]

WTF?!?!?!

[Da5hiz]

After this encounter I would go pound that little kid who scared the crap out of me.

[THEATLANTEAN4]

@Da5hiz lol, yeah no doubt.........."it's coming towards you........nahhhhh nah nahhhhh nahhhh nahhhhhh"

[cannabisbisbisbisbis]

better to watch this on youtube than on yahoo news, wont have to watch that stupid fucking 15second ad

[bleekhorizon]

Its a filter fish. the worst i can do is giveyou a big hickey(sp?)

[paintedbluezutara]

@bleekhorizon Haha, that'd be one BIIIG hickey! :)

[GetOnMy13v31]

I agree, don't give a fuck if that thing is harmless, you never know, if that was me and I saw a shadowy submarine like figure coming towards me on a damn Kayak of all things, pretty sure I'd be paddling like a mad man the opposite direction in which its heading lol..

[sarahizzett2]

they say the kayaker then jumped into the water to swim with the shark...I guess some people are braver/crazier than others. =)

[MrC0ne]

Thas JAWS's cousin Mark lol

[xXstealthy63Xx]

dang i live in panama city all summer every year, never seen a shark that big!

[smacksfromgod92]

[timeguardian11]

[MrC0ne]

[papiplastic]

[insanekidakaneil]

[bigclay50]

[CruzanDemon7]

every1 is yelling look out (kids n adults both) as if he's supposed to move 50 ft away instantly or fly away from it, that made me laugh

[SAIBABA00]

i DONT KNW HOW MANY TIMES HE Would HAVE CALLED "" Jesus,,,save me..plz Jesus,save me "/.....lol.....z

[Callaghan4n6]

That is amazing!!! If I wasn't afraid of scaring it away I would have jumped out and swam with it! :-)

[ursa41]

If I did not know my sharks, I'd be pissing in my shorts too!!!!

[youngmil28]

Kayaker say's that's just a small one... i saw bigger than that... Hahahahaha...

[jennifermelinda30]

i think i need a clean pair of swim shorts after watching that!!! Jeez! That scares me every time i watch it.

[coral95]

damn. i can imagine myself sitting in the kayak and like hearing those kids telling me there is a shark. I'd be pretty scared but then seeing the giant ass shadow beneath me id prolly be shaking the whole boat. It would really suck if he tipped over pretty dang scary lol

[TheSchmuckLook]

Basking Shark meets Crapping Kayaker. Being sued by AMA for practicing medicine without a license. And by the Plumbers Union. The AMA says it their province to loosen stools and the Plumbers say its their job to clean your pipes.

[RockTheOcean4me]

Great video, faved

[underwood154]

YEP.. shit my paints thinking about what he was thinking...

[Rose13]

I'm pretty sure I'd have died in my kayak.... I would not have been able to remain calm at all

[jezza1789]

40 feet holy shit



[justdgafit]

id shit myself...twice

[dredub1216]

hell nawl dumbass

[ofddamned]

to be continued..

[JorgeLuiselKoquis]

dam i think if u see a big ass shark like that u dont have time to think if is harmless or not ull be to fucken panic to even think shit i would

[mrmanga212]

that was cool!

[Gianster98]

:O I don't care if it's harmless did you see the size of that thing? Pretty unique experience!

[minicupcake101]

I want to see the part when he gets in the water! :/

[misukiyuki]

For That Kayaker; thank god that evolution made that behemoth shark is almost as harmless as a minnow! I'm sure he still need a clean pair of surf trunks after words though. LOL XD

[solisluna1]

i get creeped out when i see slightly large fish - i would probably fall out of that kayak, believe i was going to die, and freak out drawing actually dangerous sharks to me. Then i would probably die lol.

geez JAWS, as inaccurate as it was about sharks, definitely exaggerates my imagination haha.

[213doper]

@solisluna1 great white sharks can grow up to 25 feet long so jaws wasnt really that inaccurate the boat destroying yeah

[solisluna1]

@213doper

agreed about the size (great white's are huge haha) but i was referring to the sharks attacking because most sharks won't attack a human.

[213doper]

@solisluna1 yes true the most deadly shaks are the tiger shark and bull shark not even great whites kill as much people as those two

[lilCtren]

look down look down...where.....*looks down* *faints*

[213doper]

@lilCtren hahahahahah



[glassonion535]

omg!

[lilCtren]

friendly shark or not if i was in the kayak i will probally wet my pants

[Lizfan2]

That wasn't a very close encounter.

[Rose13]

@Lizfan2 I think its the matter of the size. You see something that big in the water near you, and you'd have a panic attack... (or at least I would :/)

[Lizfan2]

@Rose13 Good point.

[fairway73]

I would crap my pants.

[MARKEHONG]

its a friendly shark. harmless....

[GarageMusicTx]

[peacemakerkz]
