Correction, you didn’t find a great white, he found you!
🤣🤣
My thoughts exactly!! 👍
"Start the f**king boat Barry..."
Early 70’s my father and I were fishing 3-4 Km off Seacliff Beach Adelaide South Australia 5.5 metre Great White came to visit our 4.2 metre runabout ..fantastic once in a life experience ..absolute gift…I will never forget it even 50 years later. Wonderful💫
That’s incredible. Hope to see one of these bad boys someday. Well, That is when I’m not on a 6 foot piece of fiber glass….
5.5 metres unlikely
... and *THAT* is the reason I don't wear white underpants when I go deep-sea fishing ...
Quality Australian conversation
I got a kick out of hearing Aussies recite "Jaws" lines.
"We're gonna need more Aussie small-talk...and a bigger boat."
@Not a Reptilian we got a hero
"He just touched the boat! Let's go! 😂😂
"Ahh yeeeaahh, he's been in a few blues" LOVE IT! The classic laid-back Aussie lingo & sayings that I love so much X
I think he said a few blows, meaning fights.
epic103 No, a "blue" is Aussie slang for fight or argument. I live in Australia.
Designworks Thanks for the info... I didn't know that. I thought he meant blows, for fighting.
Love the Jaws Quotes classic haha. Great to see people respecting such an awesome creature.
10 years late and still worth a like :D I hope you remember that day like it was yesterday!
Scares the shit out of me just watching it.
Why? There's a guy on YT who capture drone footage of white sharks and they are constantly encountering people in the water, just checking them out then wandering off. The consensus is that they only chomp people by mistake. I would much rather be in the water with a white shark than in the vacinity of a wild lion for instance.
Most times you cannot see the shark in the water whereas in the wild, chances are you see or hear the lion before it gets ya. But if your in an open top Jeep on safari your safe from lions :)
@Maniac 5000 that's the one :)
Its much scarier when your on a surfboard. Bull sharks are scarier in my world because they have the highest testosterone of any shark. Making them more aggressive. They also swim far up into the fresh water estuaries in late summer. I am an active waterman and have to put the thoughts completely out of my head. I was doing hull maintenence on my sailboat a while back and I dove into the water and started swimming down the keel and completely startled a 10 foot bull shark. I think I scared him as much as he scared me.
@@BenDover-sl1tl By the time you see the lion he’s on top of you. The lion is interested in eating you the shark is not that’s what’s important unless you don’t care about getting eaten
"Maybe one more lap and then we'll go" lol
Fantastic footage, guys, you're very lucky; meeting a great white in the wild (from a boat!!) is one of my biggest dreams and I much prefer these home made footages than most documentaries with dramatic music and silly comments about killer sharks or crap like that. This is the real thing. Thanks for sharing
Hop in the water right next to one and see how you make out :)
Except that you still got crappy comments and one way conversations from a couple of lily white landlubbers who don’t know what to do with a boat. I’d go for the professional footage with intelligent comments!
@@BenDover-sl1tl you don’t know what will happen. It’s not a given that he will eat you since you don’t look like food. If you have a clue which these guys do not, you could probably get in the water with her. Not recommended of course, but it’s not a guarantee that he will make lunch out if a human being. Bending over of course is an invitation so I wouldn’t do that if I were you! :-)
@Maniac 5000 Looks like we found a future Darwin award winner. Congrats?
Woooooo 🤦♂️
This guy looks so peaceful in the water, great shot
Truly breathtaking such a majestic animal.
I've been watching this for about 2 years, maybe 60 times, and each time i'm thinkin' "GET THE FUCK OUTTA THERE" !!! F.F.S.
And i know the area VERY, VERY well that's just near Jamison river between Cumberland & Wye River
Ion the other hand would’ve hung around as long as the shark did too! The assumption that you are a meal is mistaken unless you’re a fish, or a seal or something familiar that he recognizes his food.
What an awesome encounter. Calm water and that beautiful animal passing by. Well done lads, thanks for sharing. 🕊️
Wow. That sunlight making his fin glisten.... The glistening fin is just, wow!
I can't believe how slowly it was moving. Very cool
Glad you guys had a quality camera to capture something like this, ive always been fascinated by sharks, but at the same time that natrual fear. Take care
This is by far some of the coolest footage I've seen of a great white; you guys were truly blessed that day.
I know one of the fellas in this video - James - great guy who made his yacht available to many groups of disadvantaged Aussies who would never have had the opportunity to go sailing. Check him out. Amazing story.
Oh, small World! I happen to know the shark - Brian - he didn't even know they were filming that day. Good guy.
He also trademarks day to day footage.
@@LeatherCladVegan😂
@@LeatherCladVeganThis comment really put a smile on my face. Thank you for this!
A go pro on a stick wouldda been insane
Yup great way to lose a arm
Meanwhile me fishing in Lorne: catches one 23cm salmon
"1 more lap and then we'll go" If you subbed the word beer for lap, you'd have the Aussie motto at the pub
"Maybe one more lap then we go" Famous last words, mate? 😆 Great video, what an experience! 🦈 😳
Me: please sit down, keep your hands in the boat, be very quiet, and GET THE F*** OUT OF THERE
There is something very graceful about them. Especially as they can accelerate at great speed at any time.
That Great White suddenly makes one feel quite vulnerable in a boat!
No you’re quite safe on that boat. Don’t get your cues for movies
stuff i am goingg to say it.... i think he needs a bigger boat..
Very intelligent, curious creatures. He/She was probably waiting for you to catch a fish; to steal off of you.
when they put their heads up like that, they are checking out who and what is in the boat - you can be sure of that. Was not interested in the squid they tossed out of the boat!
did u just assume the shark's gender? not cool, bro
@@pipfox7834 as if they'd actively go after humans...
@@jamescorbett567 Don't be such an overly captious and sensitive big girl James
@@cahillgreg yeah James? And what?
For some reason, “great white shark” just sounds better with an Aussie accent 😉
“This is going straight to the pool room!!” (The Castle) 😂😂😂😂😂
“Can we start the engine?”...lol
Couldn’t have asked for better weather. Stunning morning for the that encounter
this is incredible. Since they're ambush predators I thought it was just being curious, but the footage at 2:38 it literally pops its head out of the water to get a closer look at them. That added with it becoming more and more bold bumping into the boat it very much seems like the shark is trying to workout how to get them in the water. Imagine how many times some one has been in a kayak or on a much smaller life raft (from a ship wreck or something) and this started happening. Stuff of nightmares but also shows how intelligent they are considering that is in no way how they normally hunt. Just them problem solving on the fly.
at 2:38 the shark MOST DEFINITELY DOES NOT!! repeat DOES NOT!! ‘pop its head out of the water to get a better look at them” and in fact the white (underwater) eye is white, indicating that at that proximity to the engine, the shark’s protective nictating membrane was engaged It couldn’t actually see anything at that point
@@waynefay8210 oh good eye weirdly passionate man, perhaps it flinched from getting so close to the engine and that's why it popped part of its head out. At first glance I thought that was a reflection off the water from the sun.
He’s not sizing you up, you’re fishing or he’s used to getting fish around boats. They’re relatively docile.
my cat is docile
@@JulianLeahy I would suggest your cat is merely smaller.
Jeepers!! that's amazing...I was actually nervous watching it. great footage guys - well done!
Awesome boys, well done what a magnificent sight & a privilege to see it that close!
Wow that was definitely a close encounter!! Thank you for sharing with us your amazing experience! Hope you’ll remember to wear your PFDs in the future. Take care!!
Without a doubt,the best video I have seen while encountering GWW. You guys obviously know you were lucky, I have seen vids of smaller whites that have rammed boats (bigger than yours).
There is no word for the gratitude I would feel being on a boat right then and there.
Yeah but if that shark with it's size wanted you out of that boat bad enough, then your coming out of that boat.
Well done guys. Great footage and some good old fashioned laid back Ozzie banter rather than the screaming hysteria from the US of A :).
How blessed am I to live down here! What an absolutely beautiful specimen. I hope he/she is still out there swimming, happily.
Your country never fails to amaze me. 🇦🇺 ❤🇬🇧
"happily" as if its a human
Enjoyed watching greatly. Thank you for posting!
Absolutely brilliant footage, and commentated by 2 Aussies as well 😂😂 you lads are a lot bolder than I would of been that’s for sure I would of been in the bar at the marina by now
This makes JAWS seem so much more plausible.
"we're gonna need a bigger boat" opportunity taken!
Each pass it gets closer to the boat.🦈
Awesome footage. Watching them live vs on a rod or in a net is magic. Great work chaps.
Greatest KZhead video I've ever seen. Thank you.
Very privileged with a visit from that guy ,great footage
A shark in the sea isn't so unbelievable actually, respects from South Africa
Yeah, I don't know why they are so surprised, I live about 45 minutes from where they are (near Barwon Heads) we see quite a few big sharks while diving, including great whites.
Australians..... this is just insane, and then records for another 6 mins 👍🏽🤣
AND THE AWARD GOES TO... awesome video guys ,some dangerously close ups there. Ps:my heart was skiping a beat or two.
To think I swam at Lorne for years
GUYS THIS IS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought you were gonners for a second there when he came out...you crazy cats!!!!
fantastic footage!
There is no aggression in that shark's body language, it's like... "hey, supp" Most injuries come from the constant failure of attacking sea lions. I can just imagine how jacked up these guys would get if their outboard didn't start right away.
Wow man that thing can flip your boat up in the air!
Glad your starter was working! He was definitely at a high curiosity level & scary to think if one of you fell in he'd have likely gone in hunting/feeding mode. Seemed very hungry to me & looking for opportunity. 😲
They say, and drone footage shows this, that you often never know if sharks are around or under you. There's guys go out on those paddleboard-type canoes fishing! Well some of sharks have learnt to linger around boats that are fishing to steal your catch as you reel it in. I wouldn't... this guy was safe on a boat but you can still hear it in his voice.
"Knock you straight out of the water".... Okaaaay
Amazing footage!
Lads you had me belly laughing to the point I was crying at 4.40 when you where quoting the film Jaws really funny well done. 🤘🤘🏴🏴
Why are people so surprised to find a shark in the ocean
That was just Mr. Great White making your day!! Uncanny and exhilarating. lol
Such a rare experience, probably 1 in billion chances this ever happening, truly amazing!
Humbling isn’t it, when you come across such a magnificent creature. Love the Jaws references btw. Funny.
I think I would have stuck around!! It’s such an amazing experience for you both and the shark was probably checking out some new scenery way out there!!
Once-in-a-lifetime experience guys, fantastic stuff second time I’ve watched it
Shark listening on the convo like bro i dont like you talking about me scars mate, better buck on or else 😆
The reason it didn’t attack is because you didn’t act like prey. Most Prey animals would flee. You could actually see its curiosity when it surfaced to put its eye out of the water to see what was up. I doubt it wanted to eat you. They are like the dogs of the ocean and about the same intelligence it’s thought. Great footage guys thanks for sharing.
Look how vast that ocean looks ! 😳
Nothing but Tasmania then Antarctica south of Lorne. I can’t believe I used to spearfish there lol
He wanted whatever fish they had caught I think as she doesn’t seem to show any of the normal aggression signs. Bumping into the boat is common, it’s when they start chewing on the transom or props that people have a problem. A boat that size is a false sense of security, as the shark can lunge from below without their knowledge and snatch one of them from the boat. The girth of that thing is absolutely massive.
Fair play boys that was amazing! How privileged you both clearly felt make's this even better. lucky bastards!
“ well he can’t have me”. Hahahha. That was funny.
This is not predatory behaviour of a white shark whatsoever. This shark was just curious and checking them out.
They have been known to chew on outboards boys.....
"Get away from my boat?" GET OUT OF MY OCEAN!
Definitely get the anxiety of seeing it that close but was definitely just curious. The wounds on it was probably from seals.
greetings from texas! excellent footage... i live on the coast of the gulf of mexico in texas (galveston). i go out into the gulf in my 20' fishing boat (btw, have a 60hp suzuki, just like yours!) and although i've never seen a great white, i would love to!!
Aussie accent. "High defunition, digutul"
All of the OMGs and never thought I'd see one's' when they are in a place known for sharks, especially great whites 🙄
To be fair just because you’re from Australia doesn’t mean you’ll see one in the wild in your lifetime. They aren’t THAT common. Not like everytime you go boating one comes up to you LOL
That’s the same kind of ignorance that think Americans have run ins with grizzly bears every other day. I’ve surfed all my life and fished often, never ever seen a great white shark or know anyone who has
That huge beast is thinking lunch’s up who’s first
"put out the fire chief" 😂
In 01 i was stuck in deep water ( boat flipped) for 8 hours at night off the coast of south africa. For every second of those 8 hours i could only imagine what was lurking below or next to me ...pitch effin black just waiting for that big hit to come.
Great footage mates!
So cool! How awesome you guys got that on video :)
It's so interested in them and their boat! And it's just so beautiful.
Actually it doesn’t give a damn about the boat, the shark smelled food and came looking for a snack. He wasn’t interested in a beer!
Beauty she is lucky you guys!!! Few mating scars how big u figure? This is how they’re meant to be seen. As opposed to what’s happening in Atlantic Canada etc. Pulling them out of water over an hour. Love to see your footage I know it’s few years old but stellar 😊!!!
4:58 I’m needing a new diaper
A Great White in high definition is scarier than low definition.
These two dudes have the exact same voice haha
Great. And i was thinking of going to lorne this weekend for surfing
Omg was he being friendly and inquisitive or just territorial and hungry lol great footage guys awesome🦈🦈🦈✌💯
seems like the white pointer was getting bolder with each pass... seeing this while swimming brings nightmares
Jump in guys. They are friendly creatures. :-/
Sam King lol
😂😂😂
everything's better with that accent ❤
So majestic, we all need to know that they are just as curious as us, if not more so 🌊💙
Id always look for tags on big ones might be one never seen before. Shows how big they get i love how they dont run away and actully come over to check out the boats their was one that jumped up and took a kid out of a boat
Awesome footage... what a great experience to have.
This video brought to you by one of the seven circles of hell. Australia.
"OK, one more round" and shark passes about 8 more times...
