00:00 These 12 horrifying fishermen and animal encounters will surely give you thalassophobia for the
00:09 rest of your life.
00:11 Number 12.
00:12 In the beginning of this first terrifying encounter, a man can be seen recording a great
00:17 white shark he encountered while spearfishing.
00:20 The shark slowly swims in front of the man, appearing to just be cruising around not looking
00:26 for any trouble.
00:37 Despite their scary reputation, sharks rarely ever attack humans and would much rather feed
00:42 on fish and marine mammals.
00:55 Knowing this, the diver keeps his calm, but everything quickly turns south after the predator
01:00 does something unexpected.
01:13 The large shark turns around and swims toward him, shocking the diver, although he surprisingly
01:19 manages to still stay calm.
01:22 The predator doesn't attack, though, and continues swimming away.
01:26 Number 11.
01:27 A spear fisherman dives into the depths of the ocean, searching for fish to hunt, expecting
01:33 it to be another normal fishing trip.
01:46 Moments later, he gets a sense of someone, or rather something, watching him, and surely
01:51 enough when he looks back, he sees this.
02:04 He doesn't get a clear view of what he saw in the distance, but he still begins to panic,
02:09 knowing that it was no ordinary fish.
02:12 He begins swimming up to escape, but it's already too late.
02:17 Seconds later, this happens.
02:24 Thankfully, the shark decided to leave him alone, or things could have ended differently.
02:35 Number 10.
02:36 A man fishing near a river gets confused and excited as he feels a strong grip on his line
02:42 line.
02:43 However, his excitement and smile quickly disappear when he discovers what he actually
02:49 caught.
02:59 When fishing in alligator-infested waters, it's best to cut your line as soon as possible
03:04 when noticing a stronger tugging force than usual.
03:08 This helps prevent unwanted encounters with these predators and keeps you and the animal
03:13 safe from harm.
03:15 The alligator thrashes around and escapes the line, and the video ends shortly after.
03:21 Number 9.
03:22 This UFC fighter gets the fight of his life after he accidentally hooks a large alligator
03:28 during a fishing trip.
03:29 He and his friend laugh at their situation and are obviously not taking this scary encounter
03:35 very seriously.
03:46 This can be a big mistake, as alligators are very strong swimmers and can overpower you
03:52 in a deadly game of tug-of-war.
04:04 They even decide to move their boat closer to the animal, taking none of this seriously.
04:19 The alligator manages to break free and swim away, which is lucky for them.
04:25 Number 8.
04:26 Here a kayaker records a point-of-view video of himself fishing far away from shore and
04:33 far away from any help.
04:35 A few minutes later, he catches a fish, and he tries his best to win the battle and get
04:40 the fish.
04:51 The fight between the animal and him lasts for almost a minute, with the fish finally
04:56 getting tired of the intense fight.
05:08 He gets ready to collect his prize when, out of nowhere, an unexpected thief snatches it
05:14 right in front of him.
05:25 If you spend enough time fishing in salt water, you inevitably encounter "The Tax Man",
05:31 a common nickname for sharks who steal fish caught by fishermen.
05:35 The shark seems only interested in the fish, and I'm sure he's happy about that.
05:40 Number 7.
05:41 The next encounter begins with a man recording his friend trying to haul in an alligator
05:47 that they caught while fishing.
05:48 It seems like people really like to overestimate their own strength and trust their luck a
05:54 little too much, as even if the alligator manages to drag them and their boat around
05:59 like nothing, the man refuses to let go of the line.
06:13 This encounter could go wrong in so many ways, and the only way to find out is to continue
06:19 watching.
06:30 The worst thing that could happen happens to them, as he lost track of where the predator
06:35 might be lurking.
06:46 The video ends abruptly, and what happens next remains unknown.
06:51 Number 6.
06:53 Jeremy from the show "River Monsters" readies his equipment at the beginning of
06:57 the video as he is planning to catch something big.
07:01 A few minutes of waiting later, his line tugs and he quickly gets to work trying to haul
07:07 in whatever he caught.
07:18 The intense fight lasts over 20 seconds, and what he caught will give you nightmares for
07:24 nights to come.
07:36 He caught a piranha, which could easily chop off his finger if he does not handle it with
07:41 extreme caution.
07:42 Thankfully, what he caught is not a red-bellied piranha, which is known to be the most aggressive
07:48 type.
07:58 The video does not show what he did to the animal, which was likely released.
08:04 Number 5.
08:05 A man puts on his GoPro attached to his headgear in order to film a point of view video of
08:11 him kayaking.
08:23 After putting it on, he proceeds to start moving forward, which is quickly stopped by
08:28 an angry resident of the ocean.
08:40 He fights with the animal, hitting it with his paddle, but failing to deter the extremely
08:46 aggressive predator.
08:48 Known to be aggressive hunters, the hammerhead waves off the pain of getting hit multiple
08:53 times and continues the assault.
09:05 The fight goes on for several minutes, until finally the shark gives up, letting the man
09:11 breathe again.
09:12 Thankfully, he didn't fall from his kayak, or things could have gotten worse.
09:17 Number 4.
09:18 A small group of fishermen can be seen just going about their day trying to fish in a
09:22 deep body of water.
09:24 Moments later, one of them alerts the others that something is wrong with their line, so
09:29 they send a camera to inspect it.
09:42 The men were shocked in disbelief when they found out what was causing the commotion.
09:47 A giant great white shark seems to have gotten stuck in their line, as can be seen from a
09:54 closer angle.
10:05 After getting close to the shark, one of them agitates the animal in order to get it to
10:09 move violently and unhook the line.
10:22 Their plan worked, and the large predator is set free.
10:26 Number 3.
10:27 A man records his friend trying to get a hook off an alligator that decided to take their
10:32 bait.
10:33 The other person can be seen trying different
10:45 ways to get the hook out of the predator's mouth.
10:58 He then pulls at the right time, getting the line unhooked.
11:02 Number 2.
11:03 In the beginning of this video, a tiger shark can be seen swimming up to a pair of divers.
11:19 The divers try their best to keep the predator away from them while also trying to remain
11:24 calm.
11:35 The curious shark keeps swimming up to the divers, despite numerous attempts to deter
11:40 it.
11:50 Their boat eventually rescues them, just in time before things go south.
11:56 Number 1.
11:57 A man instantly hits record after he manages to accidentally hook an alligator in his fishing
12:03 line.
12:06 The size of the alligator stuns the man and amazes him, despite the situation.
12:20 The video cuts early, and what happened next is unknown.
12:34 Thanks for watching until the end.
