I use to swim to the second sand bar and back every morning from April to October for almost 10 years. I’ve been bumped by a shark on several occasions but that’s about it.
The first time I was bumped by a shark would have been the last time.
That said, I kiteboard in the Gulf of America, and shark concerns are in the back of my mind. But I’ve never seen one.

We saw about a 5 ft bull shark cruising down the coast in Florida a few years ago. He was clearing the water for a good half mile until we stopped tracking it. It was maybe in thigh deep water.

Does anyone else have this......I guess problem:
Anytime you see an amputee the first thing you think is, "I bet it was a shark attack."?

frick sharks.
It wasn't the case here, but most people dont realize a big arse shark can swim in 4 feet of water. I caught a ~ 5 foot one on a spinner bait in lake decade in about a foot of water, and that is big enough to screw your day up if it wants to.

There’s a video of a dude getting eaten by a huge shark a few years ago that is hard to watch.
I think it was in Egypt.

Fishing past sand bar at GI, sun was down touching the water buddy and both lost big trout to sharks we each had 40-50 on our stringers …. And about time I was saying maybe we oughtta……. Both our stringer got hit hard and the swoosh behind the heads were about 7 feet back…. We were trying to walk in water getting out of there…. Stringers were still getting hit in 2 feet of water.
On shore between us we had 18 intact trout.
In one spot I had 4 heads with partial carcasses bookending an intact trout on each side / those were not little sharks….
I was a stout 6’1 185 then and the first hit almost pulled me under….
Sunrise and sunset no bueno

think that is an old video from somewhere else from a year or 2 ago. Could be wrong but it looks familiar.
You might be thinking of that video from Egypt where that shark fricked that Russian guy to death.
I still can't get that video out of my head. I wish I would not have seen it.

supposedly a Russian tourist. His father was on the beach watching (or so the story goes). By the time a boat got to him there wasn't much left. Tough video to watch.
Also had a diver in Australia eaten last year. Bloody water and the last roll of the shark were visible on film. The gulls feeding on the bits and pieces looked like a scene straight out of Jaws.

I was bonefishing in Bahamas in thigh deep water. I caught a bonefish after a pretty long fight. After landing and releasing the fish , I noticed a shark fin slowly tracking the bubble trail left by the bonefish. It was mesmerizing watching him track. I had nowhere to run to as our boat was probably 100 yards away. I just froze and the 5 to 6 foot shark swam right to me. I hit him on top of the head with my fly rod and he spooked. The guide told me it was a bull shark.
