Shark attack on spear fisherman for yellowfin tuna at Ascension Island

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"

[WarriorBulldogs]

Imagine trying to explain this to someone without video footage.

This man is *determined* to have a tuna fish sandwich.

The fact he threw the tuna in the boat first 😂 what a legend

[Roach_Dogg_JR]

Guy and sharks: having a legendary battle

The tuna:

[eamonshields]

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

i was half expecting him to jump back in the water saying "we ain't done yet sharky"

[MH-ocde]

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.

This is why Whole Foods tuna is so expensive

2 Galapagos sharks: Are you really gonna die for that tuna?
Man: Someone will.

[itsmartin]

Sharks: *see human*
Also sharks: Why do i hear boss music?

[JustinBarker]

I love that he threw the tuna in first. This guy has his priorities straight

[asafhermann]

This video is the total opposite of a clickbait

[varun]

**Getting attacked by sharks and the boat finally arrives.**

This dude: "get the tuna in first!"

[abstract]

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.

"Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?"

[MoiYeager]

Friend: What happend?
My man: Dude I fought 2 sharks, they tried to eat the tuna I caught and then they attacked me but I stabbed them and shit
Friend: Yeah right

[Darthjardius]

When you run out of ammo and only have melee attack.

[arnoldzavala]

Imagine being the Tuna fish in all of this.

Sharks weren't the biggest threat there - I find it difficult to believe, his balls of steel didn't drag him down.
