It was a long way to go from New Zealand to Ascension Island to nearly get eaten by sharks! In this video, shooting a small yellowfin tuna with a pole spear got out of control when 2 galapagos sharks tried to steal the catch.

imagine this guy telling his kids about his life stories: "when I was younger I fought two sharks over a tuna"
And he has a freakin video to prove it!
I'd show my kids this video and tell them I'm the one who did it 🤫🤫🤭🤭
Na the sharks gonna tell to his friends to flex we fought the apex hunter over a tuna man his was strong we lose though
and they will ask "what is a shark? are these things still out there" and he answers "no".
@YT-Watcher wtf?
This man is *determined* to have a tuna fish sandwich.
That's a lot of fish sandwiches...
Ik
Hahahahahahhahahahahahahahajajajaja. You have me cracking up so hard
I no
ikr lmao
The fact he threw the tuna in the boat first 😂 what a legend
😂
I swear. Why did he even save the tuna in the first place ? He should have left it behind to save his life. Bruh
@@shizukagozen777smart thing to do yeah but great footage

I think this is the most hectic/chaotic spear fishing video I've seen. That was a lot of risk to take for a fish.

People would totally be like "okay Steve, if you say so"
You caught a yellowfin tuna, fought off 2 huge sharks, stabbed both of them with a knife, and threw the tuna in the damn boat before rescuing yourself ? Your a badass
looks like they had no intentions for the man they wanted his fish and thought they could take it from him haha burn on those sharks
Eamon Shields IKR!
@@bestever9178 lol what will u do even if the sharks arent even aggressive? And just coming at you bro.
@@bestever9178 if the sharks were aggressive they would of snagged that tuna so damb fast and then devoured the fisherman right after ey. Thats what i thought/think
This dude is clearly amateur. This is the point where his look-out should have intervened with a boat or jetsk. You don't spear without a team. Safety first. Spearman are usually the fatal attacks. All provoked, either by chumming, or the actual spearing of their fish.
I love that he threw the tuna in first. This guy has his priorities straight
Big money probably
He knew those sharks didn’t want any more 😂
@@dingaonhockey they are not selling it, its just personal food, those are small reef sharks, in certain places spearfisherman deal with them all the time thats why he was so brave, prob lost many fish before to them so was like fuck u this time u aint get it
Id argue his priorities are ass backwards
Lolololll
Bruh. People go around saying how others have steels of balls. But this....this is on a whole other level. Insane. You just fought those sharks over a yellowfin
to be fair... yellowfins are delicious

As someone who spends a lot of time in the water, fisherman are some other type of wild...
XDDDDDDDDDDD
To be fair, after he knifed them in the head, they clearly were put off by that and unlikely to try anything again. He's probably learned to expect certain responses from sharks. Plus the whole reason he fought so hard in the first place WHILE holding onto the tuna (instead of giving it up) is because that catch took hard work and makes him serious money. His priority was the job, the whole time.
The blood is what attracts them too. Probably too late, but getting what they viewed as the meal out if the water and stopping the blood could make them lose interest.
Bc the sharks want the tuna
My man was dedicated to keep the Tuna. What an absolute chad
Man fighting the sharks like its his territory
Sharks weren't the biggest threat there - I find it difficult to believe, his balls of steel didn't drag him down.
The serious badassery of this guy puts the likes of Chuck Norris and Liam Neeson to shame in all fairness.

If this wasn't recorded, I never would have believed it. Imagine telling someone you fought off two sharks all because you wouldn't let go of the tuna. It sounds like a comedy premise, yet here we are.
Also interesting, there was another HUGE hazard present. With the way the fish was swimming, he diver seems to have gotten wrapped up in some line (or he certainly could have). That will easily kill you if it constricts your movement and holds you underwater. Even with a knife, you might not be able to free yourself.

@@thecatthatgoesahh291 aww, little sharky is butthurt, still clarifies what I said 'Sharks aren't even the queens of the ocean', as for the others, I wasnt ranking them in order, i was just listing them. & ofc i know Killer whales can poke Sperm Whales, Its like Lions & Elephants, Lions wont mess with Elephants, but does that make Elephants the top? no , Lions r still at top, thy r just not gonna mess with Elephants, except juvenile ones ofc or an old or exiled from the group one etc... life is not always rock,Paper, scissors.
@@thecatthatgoesahh291 1 orca can kill 1 great white shark
You can't call yourself a hunter until you've battled sharks for a fish.
That reminds me of the great scene at the beginning of Once upon a time in the West: Snaky (Sharky) to other shark: „It looks like we're shy of one hearse !“ Harmonica (Fisherman): „You‘ll need two!“

@@gooseteamsix5894 This species has only killed 2 people in recorded history and there have only been 3 attacks total. The guy was more likely to have died by accidentally stabbing himself than the sharks hurting him. He's an idiot. Hundreds of people attack curious sharks and catch it on camera to make money every year. It's not heroic. It's not admirable. It's using the fear of sharks to excuse animal abuse and make money.

How unlucky can a fish be, meeting two apex sea predators and a highly evolved predator from the land, which is not even supposed to be in this environment, at the same time
@@bossboy191919 Humans aren’t Apex predators.
AlexDeGhost "two apex sea predators and a highly evolved predator from the land" he means the two sharks are apex predators but im pretty sure that you could consider humans as apex predators anyway
Ascension Island is in the middle of nowhere, of course there are lots of sharks since the upwelling ensures that the water around the island is much richer in nutritions.
For the people questioning why it took him long to bring the knife out. He wanted to secure the tuna first, couldn’t do it with one hand. That’s how much of a badass he is.
I like the "he didn't want to hurt the sharks couse they a lot of them are going extinct" explanation more. I'm sorry, but I'm really angry rn and uhh you can just ignore this.

badass for stabbing sharks? Sure bud
@@janniesneed4511 if you were in his place, I'm 100% sure you're getting mauled
when panicked he probably thought "if they get this fish I'm getting pulled under" and was able to calm down think rationally claiming that damn tuna
The sharks were like, “Ow! He stabbed my brain!”
What a bad ass. I was so confused why he was so focused on the tuna. I thought maybe he was using it as a barrier. Now I think he just truly didn't want to lose it.

@jo id that's a very simplistic way of looking at it, but i'll play. Human beings dominate the whole animal kingdom thus we own the ocean.
@jo id Pollution? Now you want to debate on moral ground? You compared someone who's spear fish to stealing tv. My point was Human beings are animals and we hunt for food. And yes we own the ocean in the sense that we're at the top of the hierarchy. Who even mentioned about pollution? There's nothing in this video that promotes pollution nor was my first response had anything to do with pollution. Get off your high horse and stick to one argument. Don't come back at me with a completely different argument.

How did this guy even get in the water and not sink instantly with balls that big?
Diver: “I’m not stuck in the ocean with you. You’re stuck in the ocean with me.”
man... That takes some serious balls in so many ways. Homie was diving solo, swimming with sharks around, and then speared a fish while the sharks were watching. Then proceeds to just fight the bastards off over his tuna rather than ditching the gear letting them have the fish and getting the hell outta dodge. What an absolute legend.
One has to ask whether it is courage or idiocy honestly. Dude could have died over a freakin' tuna
Yea...I think it would have been much safer to just give them the fish, but on the other hand...maybe sharks should start learning humans are dangerous. This guy was amazing!! I always tell my son not to go into the ocean without a knife...or even the woods for that matter
Some consider not giving up the fish in this situation to be selfish and dangerous, but the truth is it is very, very SELFLESS. By giving the shark the tuna, it sets a dangerous precedent that “human/diver = free food”. That is not only super dangerous for the next person to come along, but for the sharks as well. By fighting them and keeping the fish, hopefully the sharks now realize that “human = fight” and have a lower chance of trying this again.
@@RD-tb7dk These two sharks realize that? What of all the rest? It is still foolish and dangerous. If a shark truly wants to feed then any human diver is already free food for them majority of the time.
@@RD-tb7dk Yeah we should also not swerve from deers on the road. So many people think well "Its dangerous to smash into the deer with my car" but think about the fact that now all the deers think "car = swerve". They even STARE at the headlights.
