Watch Multiple Sharks Attack A Small Fishing Boat
Sharks eat fisherman’s catch
The phrase from Jaws that comes to mind with this story is the classic “we’re going to need a bigger boat”. Indeed that is the case with this small fishing boat off the Florida coast that was under attack by multiple sharks. Oddly, the charter crew and the clients seem very unconcerned with their situation. How would you feel if you were surrounded by not one or two sharks, but up to 4 or 5 very hungry and motivated sharks?
When you see how small the boat is you might wonder why they are on it in the ocean in the first place. You mostly think of chartered fishing boats as being big up to 30 to 40 feet long with plenty of motor and thick hulls to deal with just about any large predator.
These guys were not looking for big fish, rather they were out on an easy breezy day fishing for the small stuff like red snapper and whatever fish that would come along that wouldn’t overtake their boat.
That’s what they thought, until one of fisherman was pulling in a nice sized red snapper that also got the attention of multiple sharks who were looking for lunch.
These were no baby sharks
Although these sharks were not big tigers or whites, they were on the smaller size, but big enough to cause trouble in paradise. You wouldn’t want to be in the water when the feeding frenzy began.
A place in Florida called Fin and Fly fishing charters posted footage of multiple sharks attacking one of their boats.
They had a big fish on the line when a shark jumped up and bit it in half. Then more sharks showed up and started going after their trolling motor.
The owner said it’s an example of why he has the “coolest job in the world” . . . but added, “You definitely did not want to fall in.”
