Great White Shark jumps into researcher's boat

I wouldn’t even get in a shark cage with them for a gazillion dollars.

Well, of course not. They’ll be on the outside.

There’s always a first time. Considering the amount of trouble the researchers had getting the shark off of the boat, I doubt they could have gotten her up there by themselves. And it’s been documented that sharks will launch themselves out of the water when pursuing prey near the surface.

Shark’s just doing her thing, chasing after something that looks and smells like food, she’s coming in for a landing and suddenly there’s this boat in her way! Poor shark.

I’ll take your word for it. Sharks and I have an agreement- I don’t go into the water and they don’t come into my yard.

I can’t even look at them that’s how freak’n terrified I am of them. My sister is the same partly because of the movie jaws we were forced to watch as kids and my asshole stepfather at the time.

Funny thing is, I saw Jaws as a kid and the shark didn’t scare me, but Chevy Chase’s Landshark gave me nightmares for weeks.

As far as I’m concerned, the ocean is a cage and sharks are in it and I am not.

Yup. I would’ve shit enough bricks to build a moderately sized house, and scampered up the mast/radio antenna, screeching like a poop-flinging-monkey.

I wouldn’t have had time to shit a brick. I would have been in the water.

Never mind that there are more sharks in the water, and that I can’t swim. I wouldn’t have had time to process that. It would have been just, shark in boat, Freddy out of boat.

The scariest thing – in a larger-than-life horror movie “shocking” sense – that I’ve seen that happened in real life was watching a documentary on invasive Asian Carp. The documentarist and a researcher were in a small boat in a fairly small pond, maybe the size of a football field. The researcher was talking about how Asian Carp are extremely sensitive to electrical stimulation, and held an electrical current device into the water. Not enough to kill any fish, but enough to annoy just the Asian Carp in the seemingly placid water.

And hundreds of Asian Carp simultaneously jumped out of the water instantaneously! Almost every square foot of the previously glassy water was broken by jumping carp. And the pair of humans were just standing in the boat a few seconds previously, the viewers unaware of the mass of writhing fish lurking underneath.
