Videos: Sharks Love Spearfishermen

Great_white_shark_Spearfishing reviews

Sharks love spearfishermen, well to be more specific, sharks love speared fish.

Sharks are smart and love free meals. Speared fish sends out electrical impulses that sharks detect with their sensitive snouts. Once the sharks feel the impulses it will begin to investigate. Add a little blood and sharks are in pure hunting mode. They know a meal is just a bite away.

Spearfishing Reviews features a group of people who love spearfishing and their goal is to help point both novice and professional spearfishers to the right gear. They also share some great video on both their YouTube channel and Facebook page.

The first video that caught my attention involves a large great white shark swimming near a couple of spearfishermen.

The large white pointer slowly circles around the divers with its mouth agape as they wait for a pick up boat.

One of the divers swims down to the shark and gives it a poke with the tip of his spear to encourage it to leave the area.

A second video posted in June of 2016 shows a fisherman reeling a fish while three sharks try to snatch it off the line.

Eventually the sharks win and eat most of the fish, leaving only part of the fish for the diver.

While sharks can be a threat to spearfishing people, one of the most frightening videos posted by the team is a near drowning.

A freediver fishing for tuna got tangled in the line and the tuna drug the diver down into the water.

Luckily a buddy helps recoverthe man up from the deep waters, so he can catches his breath on the surface.

“Guys always check your Line and get out of the way while pulling up a fish. Errors like this can cost you.” Spearfishing reviews posted in the videos description.

Like all sports there are risks in spearfishing, but it can be a great way to enjoy the ocean and witness the occasional shark.
