Shark Rogan Show Shark: “humans are more plentiful than we realize, just ask some hunters they’ll tell you that they’re endless” Shark Rogan: “You’re freaking me out man”
I haven't been in the water with sharks, but I have swam with wild dolphins. Whilst the experience was incredible and the dolphins were being friendly and playful, you realise how hugely out of your depth you are when you're in the water with these creatures. Their size and speed as they spin around you is breathtaking. You are literally like a helpless babe at their mercy. I imagine swimming in the same water as a big shark, must truly be one of the most terrifying experiences imaginable.
I also swam around dophins. It was cool that one was looking at us and just continued swimming. Like they're aware you're not gonna hurt them. Also touched a big old turtle which didn't care. And was very close to a barracuda. But the best was seeing a small octopus and how it kept changing colors
FYI, dolphins along with chimpanzees and humans are prone to raping others of their kind. AND, ive seen videos of dolphins getting rather frisky with human females in the water. While they seem playful, you dont know what is on their mind! 😵💫😵😟
* you would be safer to swim with wild dolphin 🐬 captive dolphin 🐬 would likely try to grape 🍇. 😮 you make a great point. I understand what you mean being out of our people element 🌊 🏄
They are defs one of the scariest animals for sure. The thing that tops it for me are crocodiles. Those things are literally prehistoric monsters that are extremely intelligent at killing.
I love how Joe, who I am sure is pretty courageous in regular life and definitely not a coward, is completely scared shitless by wildlife. Look at that thing!
Literally a feral cat could fuck up a super fit dude very easily, like the human would win at the end of the day like easy clap just kick that fucker till it stops, but if it really wanted to do some damage it genuinely could, same thing with like coyotes and raccoons and other small animals like that, like imagine a pitbull how much damage that thing could do, and those are pretty small dogs relatively speaking, so yeah anything bigger than me I don’t fuck with that at all lmao
I'm Australian, and I caught sight of a relatively large tiger shark when I was swimming. Absolute terror, literally pissed myself, and was paddling on the spot for 5 minutes.
farkkkkk! I grew up in South Aus, one of the world's hot spot's for Great White's. We were always in the ocean growing up, doing young dumb shit swimming out in open waters. I often wonder what the closest a shark was to us without us ever realizing, could have been 5m, could have been 500m.
Did you here of the attack last year in Sydney at Malabar? Great white bit the swimmer in half then came back a second time and ate him. He was a 34 year old dude just doing his daily swim in the same spot as he does. Google it. Just brutal. Some sicko has actually loaded the video that the fishermen filmed of him being attacked and yelling out help on RU-vid. Disgusting....
It sounds like he saw a shark . A dolphin swims up right not on its side . Plus it would have to be a huge blue nose or beluga dolphin . Probably a great white he saw
He first says that great white sharks are plentiful, more than we realize. Especially in those waters where he was swimming around those islands. Then he plays a mind game with himself so that he can keep on swimming, so he doesn't blow a couple of months of training. I'm willing to bet, it was a big white pointer. He's very fortunate that it wasn't in hunting mode.
This video makes my legs tingle and gives me second hand anxiety and I am sitting in my bedroom. I cannot swim in the ocean because as soon as I think about a shark floating under me, even if its not, its so dark and deep I just cannot handle it lol.
Flew in a CH-53 helicopter over Waikiki beach back in the Marines and I remember seeing all these shadowy spots in the water from a couple hundred feet up. Asked what they were and the aircrew and captain all said, "those are sharks". Most the people in the water were *WAY* further out than the sharks were. Haven't went in the ocean since.
Thank You for your Service&I don't swim in the ocean&nor do I swim where alligators live&saltwater&Nile Crocodiles live&lakes&rivers bayous where bull sharks can live.Im from Louisiana&we dont have Salties&Nile crocs but we do have big gators&sharks at the gulf of Mexico&bull sharks in bayous,swamps,lakes&rivers especially the Mississippi River&im not swimming int em*Im not ever planning on ever getting near water anytype of maneating crocs live they actively enjoy hunting humans to make a TURD AKA 💩Chit.God Speed.Look up Llyod Skinner Capetown,South Africa.Llyod was in chest deep water swimming out past everyone else&he stopped to clean his goggles out&was standing in chest deep water&as Llyod was fixing hus goggles witnesses&a man at his water front Condo all witness a HUGE DINOSAUR MINIBUS SIZE GREAT WHITE ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY swam fast &grabs Llyod & bites him&takes him under&lets go &Llyod SCREAMS ALTHOUGH ALMOST BITTEN IN HALF BY THE 1ST BITE YELLS HELP GOD PLEASE HELP&his girlfriend sees him alonh with everyone else get grabbed by a massive GW &all his 6ft body is now in the GW mouth with like a arm are maybe a leg&the huge GW took Llyod Skinners out to sea for dinner&his goggles were all that survived&a huge pool of blood where Lloyd bleed out&Vladmir was ate by a tiger in the redsea on vacation in Egypt and it was videoed Simon Nellis was a British SAS&VFW & was ate alive by a huge greatwhite down under in Australia so many others have been ate alive by greatwhites in South Africa,California&Australia.
No one should have a problem swimming in Great White Shark-infested waters. If they bite you and you die from either loss of blood, shock or from the horrific wounds, you can be safe in the knowledge that they simply made a genuine mistake and it was just a case of mistaken identity.
This reminds me of a time I was halfway through a hike in Glacier National Park in Montana with 3 other people. We stopped at a chalet for lunch and heard from some other hikers that a couple had been mauled by a mother grizzly when they inadvertently got too close to her cubs. They both survived and were airlifted out, but the bear was still on the loose. My dad was waiting at the end of the trail to pick us up and we had no way to get ahold of him (this was 1993 and none of us had cell phones, although we would have had no reception there anyway), so we had to continue our hike through the same area these people had been mauled. The second half of the hike was through an area of dense underbrush and a very windy trail, where you could never see very far ahead. It was about 7-8 miles, and all we knew was that somewhere out there was a very agitated mother grizzly bear. We did as the rangers tell you to do and tried to make lots of noise, so as not to startle the bear. I don't think I've ever been so scared in my entire life. Maybe it doesn't sound that bad, but trust me, when you are out deep in the woods and you know for a fact there is an angry grizzly bear somewhere nearby, it is truly a frightening experience.
First guy they talked about getting attacked and bit in half was crazy. Actually april 2008. I was surfing the next break over and hear a commotion and saw the other swimmers helping a guy in with a blood trail down the sand. He was done by the time he got to the stairs. I paddled in right away. Spooky rip
The odds of being attacked by a shark are extremely low and when you consider how any shark within about 100 yards already knows you're there it actually demonstrates just how uninterested they are in eating humans because they do see us all the time and choose to ignore us ... However, those odds are still too high for me
Yeah because the percentage of humans swimming in the ocean at any given time is low. The odds of being attacked by a shark are calculated with everyone, not just people swimming in the ocean.
Growing up and swimming in Southern California, we saw Hammerheads, Makos, Great Whites with some regularity. Saw more seals, (scary as F when the pit bull off the sea wants your scuba fins), and dolphins in the surf almost daily. The further south and the more visibility, the volume of sea life and sharks are incredible.
The thing about sharks, is if you have never seen one in real life out in the wild, you have no idea how big their dorsal fins actually are. The videos don't actually give a good perspective and make it look small.
I had a diving experience with Tiger sharks a couple of years ago and i remember looking into the water and thinking ''ah they don't look too big'' and then i got into the water... The one image that sticks with me was when the largest shark (around 10ft in length) swam over my head, i looked up and it immediately put into perspective how defenceless we are in the water.
@@El-hefe_ saw a 15-16 footer (white) while night diving in monterey bay CA.........she was just cruising around not threatening at all, if she didnt want us to know she was there we wouldn't have, but it was still a very humbling experience. Terrifying beautiful animal
Yes!! PERSPECTIVE 100%. We have so much footage these days but very few of those clips can actually illustrate the size disparity of these massive animals. It’s always a treat to find a video that can show this.
Yup. I went cage diving in South Australia last year and got up close to an adult female - slightly longer than the 4 meter shark cage. The TV screen doesn't even do justice to their sheer size. I've scuba dived hundreds of times... and that was the biggest marine animal I've ever seen by 1000 kilos.
Surfing since I was five. Spend thousands of hours in the ocean. No sharks, but I was surfing at Shell Beach near SLO on the cetral coast and had a bull elephant seal surface about 20 ft from me. It was the size of a VW Bug. Never been so scared in my life.
Humphrey Smiggens I beleive it was Sewers. Was a long time ago but I remember Pismo was a bust so we headed north looking for better. Grew up in LA so I am not real familiar with the area.
@@broadcast3ful, I know it's old... and I'm no op... BUT just in case you're still interested... There's a few things to know about the ocean, and shark attacks in general... 1. The HUGE majority of shark attacks, happen in the late-ish afternoon (3-6 PM)... Second up... mid-morning (8-11 AM) or thereabouts... SO might be prudent just to avoid going "far from beach" around those times. 2. Sharks are "mistaken" when they attack people... thinking they see seals. SO avoid clothing/wet-suits that HELP the appearance of a seal-like (specifically black) silhouette... bright colors and lots of reflection help... 3. Sharks are excited around blood... (ahem...) even menstrual blood, so it's useful to point this out to women around you... and help them avoid inopportune swimming times... Here's the thing, it's not that girls shouldn't swim... OR that they should avoid water on that time of month... JUST be sure what time of day or night they go. Now, most people avoid "midnight" in the water for the obvious "nobody can see you either" problem, but midday is still WIDE OPEN. Finally, remember that the actual shark-attack statistics are tiny, compared to the MILLIONS and MILLIONS and MILLIONS of people who either live ocean-side or vacation there regularly... swimming. (yes, statistically, vending machines actually kill more people per year than sharks...lolz) It's worth pointing out further, that BULL sharks, not Great Whites actually hold the higher aggressive kill numbers among sharks anyways... AND for the record, Bulls have been seen as far as four hundred miles (400 mi) UP RIVERS in fresh water, since they can do that... so just because the water doesn't taste salty, doesn't always guarantee you won't see a shark. ;o)
But still Japanese fishermen eradicate sharks and whales just for "fun" and for fucking soup... You should be more scared of and FOR sharks but they are almost completely deleted from this earth now... so.. yeah... Fuck humans, we suck...
Once I was on a helicopter flying to the Catalina Wine Mixer when I accidentally dropped a chicken tender into the ocean, this big shark swam up and ate it then looked up at me and tipped his fedora.
I'm from the east coast and where Im from sharks rarely come. But we were in Maine when I was a kid by a light house and their was two huge sharks swimming around the lighthouse so they closed down the water. I'll never forget that day
That's great to know that catalina island is a hot spot, my 6th grade year we went to catalina island and went night diving.. imagine, 60 little kids floating like little suasages for the sharks to munch on.. shit..
How the hell did they take you night swimming off of catalina island in the 6th grade?! My 6th grade year most teachers wouldn't even allow kids to be left in the room alone for longer then 5 min..
There are chemical shark repellents. I was watching a documentary show where they were testing it, and the slightest drop sent sharks swimming in the opposite direction. Of course, Batman already knew about this.
I'm from the east coast (OBX), surfed all my life until I went up in my friends plane and looked down as we flew over the beach. People were having a great time swimming and surfing and none of them had any idea the size of the Sharks that were swimming around them. I've had sharks come up and break the surface near me but looking down into the water and seeing these massive shadows scared the ever living shit out of me. And yes, these shadows were easily identifiable as sharks.
I once swam extremely close to a shark without knowing. I was in Florida at the beach. I like to go fairly deep out by myself with a boogie board and just float around in the quiet, it’s really relaxing for me. I see my family kind of flailing their arms and trying to say something, which I mistook as them saying hi because a lot of them just arrived. When I came back they were all freaking out terrified saying that there was a shark much longer than me (I’m a little over 6’1’’) literally right next to me. What made it even scarier is that I knew that the beach I was specifically is notorious for bull sharks (sharks that while typically not as big as great whites can be are much more aggressive). Long story short I am much more cautious of which beaches I go out to.
You’re lucky it wasn’t dark or the water wasn’t murky and the shark didn’t decide to take a test bite. In general according to marine experts sharks don’t like to eat humans, they don’t like our taste apparently, but that won’t stop them from taking a chuck out of you to try to identify what kind of creature you are when the the water is too murky for them to see what you are.
Dude from Sydney Australia just got bit in half from a great white 4 months ago and there's videos of him getting mauled by this shark as fisherman couldn't do nothing but film . In this footage you can hear this man scream once and the second time he screams it sounded like he immediately ran out of breath but I think it was from the shark biting him in half. The water around the attack was red and the video cuts out. Then I saw the second video and it was his torso with one arm face down in the water and you see the great white come back and take what's left of him underwater. You can hear Fisherman saying "I'm going to get sick" wtf". These videos fucked me up for life . The ocean is no joke
Saw an article recently that stated there have been more sharks attacks & fatalities in the last 20 years than all the previous years on record combined. Many factors involved such as population growth, easier access to water for humans, etc.. I believe the main reason & was mentioned was the oceans health as far as healthy fish populations. Sharks need to eat, no matter what.
I was going to middle school in Solana Beach in ‘08 and was at school when I heard about the shark attack they talk about at the beginning. Shark attacks in SD are very rare, much less from a Great White. Everyone was super freaked out around there after that for a long time. Inevitably I still think about that every now and then when I go down to the water
I hate it when they say that we are not on sharks menus and whenever we get attacked they say the sharks have made a mistake. Complete BS sharks will eat anything they do not care.
That's not true. There's no way a shark is getting into the great lakes. It would have to get through locks, falls etc etc. There's no record of a bull shark ever making it even close to the great lakes. They also wouldn't survive the winter if by some miracle one got it (which is impossible). There was a story about an attack in Lake Michigan but that was debunked years ago. So yeah, never.
They cancel each other out and are possibly an attractive force if you do that. You can wear one on your wrist and opposite ankle to slightly boost the repellent effectiveness. I just made that up ;~)
“The electrical shark deterrent device had a long tail, and that was the problem.” “Why, because of the drag?” “No, because every 37 seconds the thing floats up and zaps you in the nuts.” 😂 😂 😂
You can't always trust fisherman back in 2003 a fisherman in San Francisco told me he saw a 12 foot purple shark. I think he was just high off his gourd.
I saw a Great White (or atleast a big motherfucker atleast 3 metres) when I was swimming with my mates in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa. I almost went into shock because we were a 2 minute swim from shore, you have no idea how hard it is too swim when you think something is about to bite you in half and you wont see it coming. Without a doubt the scariest predator, but attacks are so rare.
Joe Rohan has done so many podcasts. I feel like as a father he could have an answer for any questions his kids have and be able to back it up from first hand experience or word to mouth 😂
In Galveston in about 84. I was surf fishing about 100 yards offshore in the gulf. A guy was about 15 yards from me. Catching trout, he was putting the bleeding trout in a freshwater trout basket. I heard him screaming, flopping around in the water. A shark had completely stripped his lower leg to the bone. He was making it to shore faster than I was. His people were waiting for him. Took him straight to the hospital. My ex was watching me swim with my pole in hand. I swam all the way up to knee deep water. Without touching sand till I stood up. I just stayed on the pier after that.
The Santa Barbara Channel is like the Serengeti of the ocean. It's so freaking stocked with wildlife and it's just miles offshore. You can take a boat 30 minutes and see literally thousands of dolphins, all kinds of whales, sharks, you name it.
If your ever in a shark attack, if you have the slightest chance, hit it in its nose, people have survived attacks because of that. It’s very sensitive to them.
As a surfer who experienced his first shark in the water experience yesterday. It was astonishing to see how many people genuinely just don’t care when sharks are around. EVERYONE STAYED IN THE WATER. I was appalled but also stayed in the water. It was like a weird moment where I genuinely just stayed calm with the group around me…
I grew up on the water and one of the things I realized pretty quickly was that once a human being enters the ocean they go from the top of the food chain to pretty much the bottom. The jersey shore that almost nobody associates with great white sharks all the while they are just few hundred yards off shore.
I’m a shark biologist. When this guy says sharks only attack people, because they think they are seals, is completely false. Sharks are apex predators. They will eat anything edible. The reason there are few shark attacks is because most people swim in shallow waters. Most shark bites are on surfers, people who swim too far from the beach, or at the time of day we’re sharks feed.
I was body boarding when I was a kid off the coast of Newquay and obviously we in England barely have anything that can kill you, but I remember going out a bit too far to catch up to my brother and I remember looking down and seeing a 6 foot wide brown and clear jellyfish crown and rushing back to the beach. That shit was terrifying. I actually had a few marks on my leg that day so I did get stung but I didn't feel it at any point. That's when I gained a whole new level of respect for the ocean and I live in fucking England where the biggest animal kingdom threat you can encounter is choking on a salmon vertebrae if you don't de-bone properly.
I often fish solo for mahi and other deep water fish about 40 to 50 miles offshore. And every single time I'm out there I always think about what would happen to me if the boat sank or if I had to bail for some reason. I love being out there and it's so peaceful and relaxing and fun fishing but I've always got that on my mind. Floating in the water for hours maybe days waiting for a rescue. My luck I'd be run over by a huge ship first, survive barly then the sharks come to finding me off lol
That shark band stuff is hocus-pokus. A kid was recently attacked on the east coast while wearing one of these. It make work some of the time, but I could see it agitating more aggressive sharks like bull & tigers.
Great white sharks are like any other predator. Whether it be lions or crocs or whatever. They are nothing like JAWS. Predators wait and seek out the solo, sick, weak or slow pray. And they always attack in a ambush type manner. They obviously do this so that they don't get injured in the process of the attack. They instinctively know that if they get injured then they can no longer hunt. Kill or be killed. If you swim in the ocean, be in a group of other people. Don't go out where pedipeds are. Don't go at dawn or dusk; feeding time. But even all this, nothing is guaranteed. You're in their domain. You wouldn't go play Frisbee with friends out in the African plains. Every Great white shark attack is NOT their fault. It's the surfers/swimmers personal responsibility and accountability. No shark should ever be killed because it simply was being opportunistic to that slow swimming person.
Saw a show during shark week about a guy who was testing magnets as shark repellent. They worked great but the sharks still got really close before they turned away.
