After a fisherman forgot to turn his camera off, a huge tiger shark attacked his kayak.
“I heard a wooshing sound that sounded like a boat heading towards me without the motor,” he tells“And I looked up and I saw this big wide brown thing which my brain thought was a turtle but then I got slammed by it and I realized it was a tiger shark.”
Haraguchi says that he didn’t even realize he had taken his left foot out of the water to brace for impact and then later used it to push the shark’s head away until he reviewed the footage. “If you asked me to do that again, even without the shark, I don’t think I’d have that flexibility. I actually only thought the shark rammed the kayak until I saw the video at home,” he jokes onHaraguchi isn’t exactly sure why the tiger shark went for him, but he has a theory involving a wounded seal that he spotted nearby after the attack.
“So I’m thinking that the shark actually disabled and wounded the seal, let it die or was waiting for it to die, came back and thought I was the seal and attacked me instead,” he says.Despite the ferocious attack, the shark barely made a dent in Haraguchi’s kayak and the fisherman was unhurt, just shaken up.
“I realize that life is short, time is short on Earth. Make the most of it, be nice to people — all that stuff,” he adds.
