Great white shark - six metres

[UFOIST]

Great catch there : )

[tomp1193]

its a basking shark...eats planton only

[mybluebelly]

It seems the shark is hesitant to attack due to the shallow water?!

[christagault1]

Where Are You?

[SKFNZ]

@christagault1 Enderby Island - south of New Zealand

[subasurf]

The sealion is not chasing it, but staying behind it as it's the safest spot. Sort of how people sit behind police on a highway :p

Good footage mate

[SKFNZ]

@subasurf LOL : )

[TheAtheistAussie]

He's not 6metres he would be like 4metres, still a big shark but. Everyone always exaggerates when they "estimate" a shark on the size.

[pennyloverful]

"He is fuckin' MASSIVE." - Hahahahaha

[TigerMeadows]

@pennyloverful

Funny?

[AshtheCr4sh]

would luv to see this in real time ,wicked

[chrisstefanetti1]

did the sea lions survive?????

[asdfgh99628]

amazing kiwi accent!!

[satierfleafar]

I`d jump and swim and piss on the water.

(pee attracts sharks)

[WokOne171]

@satierfleafar  liar

[TrueDaturaMindNz]

safest place is out of the water or if you must donot swim near seals

[80sOGRE]

safest place for a seal is behind the shark.

[rohan212121]

Sounds like he is wanking over a shark. Dirty boy. Go to your room.

[IamUroboros]

nice footage. the seals are staying on the sharks tail and "chasing" it because that's the end the mouths not on. stay on the tail, stay alive.

[genderbenda04]

fush an chups brooo. AWWWWWW SHUTTT. haha nice video bud. (:

[dj17q]

Beautiful. Would love to see that u lucky bastard!!!! Great Whites are indeed beautiful of the deep blue sea..... 

[oberchobo]

Just 3 days ago i´ve been told why the seals "chase" the shark. When they chase it they know where the deadly end of the shark is and the shark can´t disappear for a deadly attack from the deep. So as long as they are behind that big white they are kind of save... Would be interesting to train that behavior to people. "Well and if you see it you swim right up to it and hang yourself on its tail....you´ll be totaly save there..." 

[marriedncute]

Why is this guy out of breath?

[SKFNZ]

@marriedncute - Clayson had run about a kilometer along the beach.... That's why he's out of breath!

[4444d4]

@marriedncute haha good word; maybe he just finished swimming and got out in TIME eh? hahaa :D

[ADAYLILProductions]

That be scary id pee myself

[williamstone10]

great vid, shark was huge, probs like 19ft, HUGE! lol, jst 2 let u know, the seals follow it 2 stay behind it, if they stay at its tail it cant physically catch them. clever seals lol =)

[19Tharg76]

you sound like flight of the conchords

[croutonfada]

Tidy video SKFNZ! Lovely to have caught the sealion following the shark. David Attenborough did a doc where he showed a whole mob of sealions following and running away from a GW so they at least knew where it was and couldn't be snuck up on. He likened it to playing What Time is it Mr. Wolf, with less fortunate consequences.

[TigerMeadows]

Very nice vid, thumbs up.

[rebelgabriel4308]

Cool :-)

[subasurf]

The sealion is "chasing it" to stay behind it because it keeps it from being exposed to it's mouth :P

Nice footage by the way bro. I was like "ah this will be in Australia for sure" then I heard you speak. hahah

[rosetinker]

thats a kiwi accent...GO KIWIS!!! lol

[RustyLungs]

I like how he starts panting at the end, almost as if video taping the shark is exhausting

[Fahstudios13579]

when i see these things i dont think of jaws i think "oh fuck violent death inbound."

[kmkfiction2]

that is so damn sick!! that looks like one of the largest dorsal fins caught on video. thanks for sharing, wish I saw that in person

[Snauzer67]

Nice footage

[SpartanForgeWorld300]

woah thats the size of a whale!

[Burnz2much]

Sounds like you just swam for you life, relax a little.

[rob18767]

With all the crap fake vids out there of GWs....... this is truly awesome!!!!!

[Mamawaldi07]

The bloke jizzed his pants a few times in this video me thinks

[boatstaylor]

This was absolutely amazing! Thank you for posting

[fastacker2]

It's a harmless basking shark.

[rohannesburg]

LOL "Sea Lion.....Off...The Beach.....It's Fuck'n Massive!" *Asthma attack*, awesome sighting

[woodzo40]

Get a gun!!

[qck101]

GO IN THERE AND PET IT

[buminbeer2]

It is funny how slow moving this 16-18 footer appears to be. I certainly know they are much quicker, but tells me he's in no hurry to consume anything. Still would not want to be in the water with it being a long time Scuba diver.

[SKFNZ]

@buminbeer2 - well it is pushing a 250kg sea lion sideways through the water!

[batcountryrabid]

@SKFNZ well that just changes everything :O

[norcel]

6m=18feet

[jackrussel0123]

beautiful video!!! Congrats!!!!!

[antopolus]

sea lions stay tight behind great whites because they dont have a good turning circle for attack.by the time the shark turns around the seal is somewhere else.tactics those poor blubbery bastards had to adapt over time

[epctrout]

learn the metric system dumbass. a meter a bit longer than a yard, and a yard is 3feet, so that puts the shark, and no it's not a basking shark, at about 18 ot 19feet.

[protomatr]

@epctrout chill bro a meter is maybe 2 inches longer than a yard so you gettin pissed off is a little rediculous your arguing over 2 inches thats bigger than your dick

[rcaddict72]

@protomatr its 4 inches longer. so over 6 metres, thats a good 24 inches.

[BonjourGorgeous]

not sure thats a great white, fin looks abit suspect...more like a basking shark, that would also explain why the seal is casually swimming behind it

[telemetry9]

she is trying to give birth.

[iurhviusdfavhi]

26 feet is a fuckin monster great white

[Ionisus]

massive!!

[Lanteigneee]

Haha the sea lions chassed him in the back.. duh ! .. haha.

[th1ngf1sh]

ShAAAAAAAAAAk. It's great woit shAAAAAAAAAk. Crikey! shAAAAAAAk!

[r32adt3db]

@th1ngf1sh

ROFL

[mussdogga]

unreal.

[SIMOPARAS]

u should been dive there and film :P :DD

[BattmanSA12]

i surf in waters with these everyday , Cape town Sa home of the great white

[SierraKilo9]

@BattmanSA12

So do we, anywhere in Australia

[urbanangelsince87]

OMg that thing is huge..It was probably gonna try eat a seal, but they saw it first n ganged up on him n chased him away..Wheres a rifle when u need one?lol

[ToMakeUSmarter]

It did eat 2! And they are sea lions not seals. If you look closely at the front of the shark, there is an almost dead sea lion that the shark was pushing towards shore... and sorry I don't think these sharks would be concernec by two little people walking on the beach!

[boyzinyourclub]

pretty fkn scary dude

[thisischris321]

thats a big fucking fish

[ngm8x]

i understood everything you said.

The sealions follow the shark so they know where it is and to keep away from the sharp end of it!! makes sense really. If they swim off the shark can chase them!!

[jauchiu]

Same comment every video.Why don't you just start a web site.

[MrBloodyAngry]

should have sub titles,bloody hard to understand u cous

[darkwonder42]

you sound like you never seen a shark

[scatmando]

AMAZING, I LOVE GREAT WHITES.

[joe907]

huge

[OscarHolland]

lol i love the amazment of the guy when he porclaims, "the sea lions are chasing it! must be an ambush!

[kickmeout1]

@OscarHolland he doesnt say "must be an ambush" he says "they got a dithwush" (kiwi for 'death wish'). i kno its hard to make out through his annoying kiwi accent.

[OscarHolland]

lol

[Musclman78TA]

Balance? What balance if the sealions are over populated cause of less GW Shoot them and hunt them yourself at least you keep the local fishermen happy and for GW if i was There I wouldnt hesitate to trophy him with my rest of the Bluefin tunas...

[ToMakeUSmarter]

These sea lions are New Zealand sea lions and are a theratened species that had a 50% population decline in the last 15 years... very likely primarly due to competition with commercial fishing and sea lions getting killed in trawls. As usual, humans like you are distroying our resources and heritage. May be you should inform yourself and only then you should be able to make comments.

[nelson2642695]

great video

[the1calledbat]

Mad footage where was it shot? You sound like an aussie.

[vrednie]

as it states in the video description, it was shot in enderby island in the sub-antarctic. You can tell by the words

[SKFNZ]

Clayson is from New Zealand - a Kiwi!

[KCJONES23]

@SKFNZ Nice vid my friend. The great white is such an amazing animal!

[tension33]

you offend aussies in that statement u fucking twat ill smack you up you bottom feeding homo. you probably havent even seen the ruby spicer

[Amill63]

sea lions and seals stay close to the shark and try to stay behind it. They are more agile than the shark so they just dodge and move around until the shark gets tired and swims off. It's pretty amazing.

[TheDisco8895]

the sealions are not chasing it, they are just keeping away from the head. This is what they do.

[wheelywot]

cool vid! should of taken a dip with it.

[Anthrax92007]

This is why i carry my dad's pole-spear

.44 magnum power-head when i go diving

[YeahRight825]

I'd love to see that first-hand in the wild like that... awesome footage!

[octatgurl]

it appeared to be injured. poor shark

[SeanOBriain]

How does it appear to be injured?

Poor shark my ass! Fuck the shark. Get back into deep waters you toothy-bastard.

[Thetrainscommin54]

wow thats massive good video mate

[jagotusk]

wow what a beauty.... looks so huge

[youngnfree67]

uts a messive fush.

[rcaddict72]

@youngnfree67 thet uz choice bru.

[bikiniisland]

amazing vid, do the great whites come around this part of enderby often or is this rare for them?

[pharoahsoulero]

bet youve had a few liar liars pelted at you when you tell people about this, amazin stuff indeed

[mrwondergoal]

think the sea lion chases the shark cos thats where it safer cos the shark cant monover aswell

[dan5c]

Yep that's right, they can't outrun the great white so they stay where it can't get them, directly behind it.

[MaxLibertas]

That is one psycho sea lion...

[tirrus]

gorgeous...

[dstick1]

Wow that is awesome

[702858]

amazing!! that IS a great white, no doubt! must have been buzzin filming that dude!! wicked!

[ryannlag]

Beautiful fish!

[ChantalJeroenTijl]

wow, how cool! (not for the seals) When I'm older (and when I have more money) I want to dive with them, of course, in a cage. I love these animals!!!!

[fulcrumlow]

Thats a Dorsal fin of a great white...Basking sharks have smooth rounded dorsals. When The shark does a 180 at the end it is clear.

[daindabain]

yes and plus basking sharks don't eat sea lions they eat microscopic organisms.

[xxTHExKATxx]

holy shit......

[ChesterDoraemon]

can i bring a 30 mm rifle with me on one of these expeditions?

[englandshark]

Great White - the sea-lion wouldn't bother keeping an eye on it otherwise and the dorsal fin isn't large or rounded enough to be a basking shark.

[miker2534]

Basking Shark

[thegirl44]

I thought that the fin didn't really look like a white either miker but a basking shark wouldn't be chasing sea lions like that, they are filter feeders. It's just a white with an oddly shaped dorsal.

[jjboy157]

good point

[AlphaChaos18]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure a basking shark wouldn't go after seals since it's a filter feeder shark. Plus, the tail is shaped a bit wrong for it to be a basking shark and they usually don't thrash about in the water like that.

[stg44rulz]

the seal is not chasing it MATE!! he's avoiding the sharks mouth!

[highmetal1984]

I think the shark should try and fool it by swimming backwards...

[xxxgrantyxxx]

sharks cant swim backwards lol if they did they would drowned lol

[Xelt4]

if the seal follows the shark's tail the shark cant get it...clever seal

unless, the shark calls one of its buddies

[poptartz1993]

OMG!

[CoyoteJaw33]

"Fuckin' massive"

Is that a scientific term?

[TYRIELLY08]

go the seal!!!!

[StolenMonkey]

Free Willy eats Jaws for breakfast FACT

[luckyyeahyeah]

the seal is hanging round the back because they are fast short distance swimers an if there is one safe place it the tail of a big shark that cant turn as fast an when the seal see.s its chance it will dart away

[Allannisse]

what a barbecue it would be.......

[tonyadavid1]

go swim with them both

[redscarf11]

catch it

[shuvaman]

biggest white 6.1/6.2m NZ. fuck argue over the millimeters. second biggest, 5.9 Gaansbay rsa. this is a big shark no doubt though. how cocky is that seal stickin round the tail part. we watch them doin that down here too, they play cat and mouse with whites, got balls dont they.

[nel2nv]

the divers do the same thing stay facing it. when your back is to it shell hit ya a great white usually wont hit if he knows you see him, believe it or not they are very fragile themselves, yes they are a predator, yes they do kill people more than is admitted by officials, but think about it thats what they evolved into and became they are not in our world we go into theres. i am an avid fisherman but i am all about protecting our sharks, without that link in the food chain we will lose balanc

[rockstarwannabe07]

get him sea lion rawr!! lol

[watson442]

btw the sea lion aint chasing it its stayin on its tail coz thats as far away from the mouth as it can b, it cnt out swim it!

[ScubaDubaDive]

You have got to see my Great White encounter... It is the main video under my profile.

[LuckyStrike1222]

man, i am glad that you were unharmed after that incident. Great video!

[soren650]

Holy shit, when I saw that empty cage, I thought the other guy was eaten or something :O

[Daniangelz]

me too!

[common51]

ya kept filming!!! kudos!

[humpalac]

were te fuk id you film that mate i hope your boat was fucken big

[LuckyStrike1222]

great white sharks can grow to 10m in length, so this one is a half-way there. But it is huuggeee, nice vid!

[craigpesch]

The largest great white ever caught was just over 6 meters in length. Megaladon grew to 20m in lenght, but became extict at the end of the Jurassic period (we hope)!!

[leomike26]

10 meters is 33 feet, great whites do not get that big, their ancestor, the cacharadon megalodon, grew to that length and more, but great whites do not get that big.

[kayoticc3]

uhhh yes buddy they do get that big you should check your facts

[nel2nv]

where did you get your info? do some research pal

[LordEli]

Curious about something 6 Meters is like 26 feet right? So wouldn't that put this shark at an Unpresidented size? not sure but least thats what I read on that Giant Squid what was filmed recently and they'd said 6 meters "26 feet" not sure so would like to know if I am right that'd be one hell of a Monster Shark you filmed

[SKFNZ]

There are 39 inches in a meter - just over three feet, so that makes the shark about 18 or 19 feet. Still rather large!!

[LordEli]

Oh yeah even the 18 and 19 footers aren't Seen much anymore, pretty rare a sight, Give this particular shark few more years of growing he will reach past that great video

[mamoderawat]

@SKFNZ yeah 18-19 feet would be considered a big white shark, average is between 12-15 feet. But than again we don't know whether thats because most are adolescence due to the over fishing of the 50s-90s maybe now numbers are recovering the majority are still not fully grown.

[dime820666]

no 1 meter is 3 feet that shark is 18 feet great whites have been cought up to 23 feet

[gunster78]

6 meters is 19,7 feet. Just for info.

Btw, measuring in feet and inches, just makes everything more complicated!

[nel2nv]

a meter as stated below is 3 ft 3 inches

[kellypowell3]

thus aus sweeet as bro auts choice

[rondarb]

dont fuck around wasting time!!!! pat him!! PAT HIM!!!!! get your arse in the water, swim up to him and thrust your leg down his throat!!! pat him while he bites you!!! it's humane!!!!!!!

[joedavis1984]

the sea lions are following cuz they're a bit quicker and as long as they stay at the tail end they can avoid gettin chomped

[SKFNZ]
