This practical joke could have turned into tragedy: watch as some “friends” throw a guy out of a boat after seeing a great white shark in the distance. As they approach the shark, the animal turns around and goes straight to get him, just a fraction of a second before he gets back into the boat.
Of course, his “friends” start laughing hysterically, probably realizing that they almost killed the guy. I would have start smashing their faces with the wakeboard until they were bleeding to death, then throw them overboard. Instead, the guy laughs too, probably glad that half of his body is not in that shark’s belly.
Or maybe they are laughing because it’s all a joke on us, but I don’t think so. The entire thing looks real, don’t ya think? [YouTube]

The guy has to laugh, because he’s the punching bag of the group, the one who was lucky to even get invited along.
Hmm fishy as usual Jesus.
These guys sound Irish? & that`s probably not a Great White. If it`s off the coast of Ireland i`d hazard a guess at a basking Shark?
You’re right they’re Northern Irish, so they’re probably near Donegal.
Not anything close to a Donegal or Derry accent, sounds closer to Belfast, Could be Strangford Lough.
All except one of them has Donegal accents – probably Inishowen. Derry at a push.
Nope none of them have Donegal accents, They sound Antrim or Down and this is most likely Strangford Lough and a basking shark.
And you know this because you’re from the north-west?
I know because I’m from Belfast and grew up around Strangford Lough
Yeah they’re not from near Donegal, I just figured that was the most likely place they’d be out on a boat and where you’d see a shark. I didn’t realise you got sharks in Strangford Lough, wont be going in the water there now…
Um, i think we’re all missing the point here. IT’S A HUGE EFFING SHARK.
Basking Sharks cannot swallow you they have a large filter in their mouth like a whale.
Idiots, they have no idea how stupid what they just did was, they used the wrong type of bait, what idiots.
Looks more like a tope or porbeagle to me.
People swim with Sharks all the time and unless they’re like Bull Sharks or Lemon Sharks you’re not likely to be under any threat.
Lemon Sharks. I bet they get mocked by all the other sharks.
Tiger sharks? Great whites?
No way near as aggressive though the Tiger Sharks teeth are probably the most deadly out of the lot.
“Over half of all lethal attacks on humans over the centuries have come from just three species of sharks: the great white shark, the tiger shark and the bull shark. Of these “Big Three” species, the largest of them, the great white shark is by far the most dangerous, as it has been responsible for more unprovoked attacks and deaths than the other two species put together.”

This article didn’t do its research very well. Oceanic white tips are the responsible for the most lethal attacks on humans. To leave them out of the list all together is rather poor.. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/wildlife/8183748/Oceanic-whitetip-shark-ten-facts.html
Yeah I wouldn’t be so quick to believe the Telegraph..
BLASPHEMY!
Yeah, but the Oceanic White-tips got their numbers up cos of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis. It’s not fair on the other guys, they had a good year.
Pool and Card are also very dangerous in their natural habitats
That was at Rossnowlagh Co Donegal and a basking shark. I was kayaking out just past the breakers on the beach there last year and all of a sudden this fin appeared in the water just ahead of me and heading in my direction! I froze, not even breathing, but then when it turned slightly I could see it was curved at the edges so I assume it must’ve been a porpoise or dolphin. One of those times that’s good for making you realise you’re alive! Had to give the inside of the kayak a good hose down after that!
Yeah, thought so, seen a few off the Cornish coast. My friends an avid sea kayaker, and has some great footage of them going under his kayak.
Although off the Cornish coast you do have Porbeagles, however they have only ever attacked someone after being caught. They are literally small, coldwater versions of Great Whites. But no real threat in the water.
Whatever it was, it definitely went for the guy.
May be the shark just want to help the guy get back into his boat.
exactly, who gives a damm what shark it was, it wasnt trying to give him a gummer like some 90 year old lady would.
So here’s the real question, why does anybody think that was a Great White ? These are Northern Ireland folks (sound like they are from close to Belfast), how on earth do they end up anywhere close to a Great White ?
You know people have invented methods of transport so they can move great distances from where they were born?
In recent years there have been numerous sightings of basking and porbeagle sharks and dolphins all along the north-west Ulster coastline – I saw a huge pod of dolphins at the Giants Causeway last year. Various whales have visited the Donegal coastline for decades. It’s not that rare.
No confirmed great whites though.

Because Jesus says so..

this was posted on Reddit about a month ago. It’s definitely a basking shark and it takes place near Rossnowlagh, Donegal.
here in Birmingham we have the dreaded Loan Sharks, they are relatively calm unless agitated or have there territory encroached upon.
some attacks are not lethal, and may just results in missing limbs, this allows them to circle again later when more sustenance is required.
they can usually tell when its prey is weakened and offer their help as an Assistance Shark as the have the ability to curve their fin so people are easily mistaken.
their two greatest predators are the Rozzer Shark and the TradingStandards Shark, these sharks usually team up to attack the Loan Shark, they tend to attack first thing in the morning so as to catch the Loan Shark sleeping.
*their*
