WATCH: Huge 7-foot shark leaps onto boat in South Korea

Maybe this shark needed a ride. Watch the wild moment a 200-lb. mako shark flew into the air and landed aboard the Tomgyeong Venus fishing vessel in South Korea. "It was a chilling experience. I have been fishing all of my life and a shark has never jumped into the boat," the angler said following the dangerous close encounter that scratched his face. Eventually the thrashing 7-foot-long animal calmed down and was thrown back into the ocean.

The subtitles are wrong of course...
They're not saying "Dude, chill", he said (to the captain or other person) "(We) didn't catch it"

I saw the whole video on other U-Tube. They were fishing for the ribbonfishes. It happens time to time in Korea for sharks to attack hooked ribbonfishes. Usually, it is small sharks. But this time, it was a big one. And yes, they did keep the shark too. As with many countries, It is legal to keep it.

That's Mark Cuban trying desperately to enter Trump's WH.

1200 years ago, our ancestors would call the shark jumping into the boat as gift from the gods.

The shark declared Maritime Law in South Korea.

Surely, they released it back in the water. 😂🤣👌

[dredgerivers]

The shark timed its jump perfectly, as the boat rocked low. If the rod holder between them hadn't taken off some momentum, it would have gotten the woman.

It looks like it jumped horizontal to the boat.😮

[Graterstuuf]

Just like Samuel L Jackson in Deep Blue Sea.

Sharks like Asian food, too??
I'm glad everyone's OK.

[Northrop-Grumman]

Yeah I highly doubt it was put back in the water 😅

Don't worry about the Shark. Worry about what scared the shark bad enough to make it commit suicide.

[ablacksuit]

I'm having a hard time believing they threw it back.. mako steaks are pricy.. just saying

[justdoingitjim]

Shark buddies, "Dude, only people get into boats to eat." Other shark, "Hold my sardines!"

[Cmon-Man]

“Released” is code word for, “we killed it, then we ate some and sold some!” 🎣

[zebrastripes]

Honey, you were out all night and have a scratch on your face. How did that happen? And this time you better have a believable story!
