Hammerhead Shark Attacks Kayak Fisherman!!!

A large hammerhead shark took I liking to my friends kayak while we were offshore fishing. The huge shark even bit the back and side of his kayak and had to be beaten off, sadly I did not get this on camera. The shark eventually had enough of getting smacked with a paddle and took off.

ENJOY!

is it just me or does fishing in a small kayak out in the middle of the ocean seem like a bad idea 

[eagander]

Imagine what would happen if a shark really DID attack. You guys are insane to be out in the open ocean in tiny kayaks!

Fishing in a kayak offshore is like hunting on a unicycle in the jungle.

I think you're going to need a bigger boat.

I can't believe how fast that Hammerhead can swim. They seem to move so effortlessly and fluidly. Good job it wasn't a large, hungry Great White...

I saw nothing in this video that even remotely resembles an attack. What I do see is Sphyrna Lewini doing exactly what any oceanic predator does. Investigating something floating on the surface. Being an ocean fisherman you should know one of the best ways to catch Billfish, Sharks, Tuna, Ling, and Dorado is to troll or chunk around large floating objects. Because the predators know that the object either IS food, or is hiding it. As others here have mentioned one of the ways sharks "test for food" is to bite something. This shark bumped, rubbed and bit your kayaks, decided they were not food and left. You treated the shark exactly as you should have by poking and hitting it with your paddles. Not only were you not food but you could potentially injure it. Not worth it for the shark and so it left. Not an attack, just normal shark behavior.

This should be titled "Kayak fisherman attacks curious hammerhead shark"

This is why I always bring my Batman Shark Repellent whenever I go into the ocean.

There are allot of sharks around Florida waters, but hammerheads are the ones that really concern me. Luckily he wasn't one of the big ones like I've seen while tarpon fishing down in Boca Grande. Nice video and nice ninja paddle skills.

There would be nothing manly about my reactions to this had I been there. 

[SharkBytesKnox]

Maybe a little scary to them, but I think the shark was more curious than anything.

"The huge shark even bit the back and side of his kayak and had to be beaten off" Even sharks will leave you alone after they get off

[DreamEscape]

I think its the other way round. The Kayak fisherman is attacking the hammerhead .

[ThePathone]

adds character to your Kayak...I am happy you guys did not get hurt. I love the ocean and sharks earn respect glad no one got hurt including the shark!

[YakFishField]

I bet if you'd cut out some of the boring parts and make it shorter and reposted it would go viral. People's attention spans are very short. Sweet video though, I definitely enjoyed it!

[MAStudio]

that was the best "Hammerhead Shark Attacks Kayak Fisherman!!!"
I have ever seen on youtube!

I have the same ability as an Octopus under stress, while in the water, around aggressive sharks, I can create a huge brown cloud and quickly disappear!

I (the cameraman) completely agree with you, once in a lifetime. The guy in the green kayak however, could not agree with you less.
