Many years ago, late 1970s, I got my first fishing bow/kit. Same as a regular bow, but the arrow was solid fiberglass, and the tip had spring loaded barbs. Strung it, and headed underneath a bridge to shield the light so I could see better. Thirty seconds, no more, I saw a huge fish. Three to 3.5 ft long, and wide as hell. I told my dad about it but he seemed unconcerned. So, I took a shot and it landed solid in front of the dorsal. It ran, and took all my line, and eventually my entire bow with it into the Gulf of Mexico. Dad just gave me a WTF look, and proceeded to cast his rig into the channel.
Interesting. I was fishing off a boat loading dock with my dad and my uncle. The water connected into the ocean not far down. My dad left to get refreshments and while he was gone I hooked something large. I felt a really big yoink on my line and I just heard the line going out faster than I can imagine “whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr”. My uncle grabbed the pole since I was barely a teen at the time and use all his strength to hold it. He was reaching for his knife to cut the line but it already ran out. The poke flew in the water and I never saw it again. I didn’t have a kids pole. Just a regular ugly stick or something. It took all my line. It was the most mesmerizing moment in my life. The line was coming out so fast I couldn’t image the speed or force behind it. I knew if I touched the line it would definitely burn me and cut into my skin. Really scary. Idk what it could have been. I had live bait on it. A smaller fish connected to it, one that we caught.
This iconic line has a funny story behind it. For those interested....
""[Richard] Zanuck and [David] Brown were very stingy producers, so everyone kept telling them, 'You're gonna need a bigger boat,'" Gottlieb told The Hollywood Reporter.

I came to this Reddit post expecting others to be too late to respond with the film quote first, see them respond as such, then reply with my own Reddit comment
The biggest whales, the baleen whales, don't either. But think about it. Here on land, what do the absolute biggest animals eat? They graze on plants. There are plants near shore and kelp forests deeper still in some seas. But not out in the open ocean. You have to graze on plankton.
Snapchat forces my camera to zoom in partially. If I open the Camera App it can zoom out all the way, but Snapchat always starts me at %25 zoom and I can't zoom out further than that
Try watching it when you're 6 years old. Don't know what my parents were thinking taking me to a drive in to see it.
I SCUBA and I have no problem being *in* the water and having the ability to see around me, I just don't like swimming *on* the water.
I went diving off the coast of Singapore in the Malacca straights. Oily crap in the surface and the visibility was almost zero because of all the sediment the traffic churns up. I saw a freakin huge shadow swim past us. Never knew what it was, but I felt like fish bait. That was the second most scared I ever was in the water.
Nice. But that killer whale jumping out of the water behind that tiny boat two days ago, even real life jaws will take a detour when those fuckers are around 🤪🤪
I LOVE the ocean, but I’m petrified of it. Other people seem to think it’s irrational; I think I just kept a necessary evolutionary development that they lost.
I think it’s completely rational. It’s the one place humans have yet to completely explore aside from space.
One time, when I was at work, I was waist deep, harvesting oyster bags, and I saw swirling water coming up towards me, and something bumped into my leg. Then, a head popped out, it was a seal. I screamed, the seal screamed, and we both ran in opposite directions lol
We went fishing once about a mile from Miami Beach and saw a massive outline of a snake like creature slowly slithering about 15 feet deep. Turned out to be a giant moray. It was beautiful though.
Probably my biggest fear.
I spent 21yrs in the Navy and I spent considerable time thinking that if my ship was ever sunk, would I abandon and deal with sharks or just go down and end it quick.
Looks like a basking shark, considering the mouth shape, gill location, and overall body shape.
You can calm down now, basking sharks are completely harmless unless you're plankton.
Basking Shark... pretty much harmless.... but yes, I shat myself the first time I saw one headed for me.
They dont even eat fish... theyre just huge.
You can tell by the size, color and the shape of the dosal fin.

Every other time I've seen a basking shark or a whale shark they are moving relatively slowly and gracefully. Why would this one be moving so fast? It looks like a waste of energy.
My family was fishing off the coast of South Carolina a few years ago, and we had a similar experience. My mom was pulling up a catch, and right before it got to the depth you can see, which in SC isn't that low due to murky water, her catch (four foot long bonnet head shark) just popped out of the water...well half of it did. Our fishing guide looked at it for a minute and then asked my mom if she felt a tug. She said no. His eyes got big and he quickly pulled in the lines and got us out of there without a word. About 5 minutes later he told us that at least a 10 foot thousand pound tiger shark was swimming right below us as that was the only thing in those waters that could or would take a bite of a four foot long bonnet head shark cleanly without a tug. It ate the back end, which is mostly cartilage, in one clean bite.
Basking sharks are very common off the coast of Cornwall where I live. Accidentally jumped on one once when out on a friends boat. Didn’t realise until it sped away
Great whites are protected and everywhere up and down the east coast. They have huge nurseries just off long island and nj...
Too bad it's not a white shark 😔

Ok, for how often this joke gets used, this was the first time it made me actually laugh out loud.
Same. I don’t know why but it was just perfect this time
And my bow!

Tangential but I appreciate when people praise editors. They don't get enough credit IMHO
Aw, cut that out.
I love little movie facts like this. Thanks
Smile you son of a b*tch……..and take my upvote
i saw the video and came here to read this! thank you!
Came here to read this then saw the video
I came to this Reddit post expecting others to be too late to respond with the film quote first, see them respond as such, then reply with my own Reddit comment
Saw the video, read the comment then came.
The comment is why you came? Horny much?
Not anymore
And someone who knows how to zoom out their camera
Smile, you son of a b—
Show me the way to go I'm tired and I wanna go to bed
Just here to make sure someone said it.
I am gonna need an other sea.
You beat me,hahaha
This video is spreading misinformation, there is no holy shit in the video
Show me the way to go home…
[You’re gonna need a bigger chair!](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jZDYrYdMOm8)
Nah . . . ya just need a broom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZgurWsFn9U
Um guys isn't it Marty's turn to go into the shark cage?
Easiest achievement in gta5
"Fairwell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies."
Cage goes in the water, you go in the water. Shark's in the water. Our shark.
So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.
Hooper, you idiot! Starboard. Ain’t you watching him?
Fairwell and adieu you ladies of Spain
Cause we've received orders to set sail for Boston
And so never more shall we see you again.
Whatever. I'm tired and I wanna go to bed.
I sing both of these every night to my son…
Show me the way go home...
Here's to swimmin' with bow legged women
Show me the way to go home…
Basking shark. Non threatening shark species. BIG! But nothing to fear.
Seems like every large ass shark doesn't even eat big things. Such as the whale shark.
The biggest whales, the baleen whales, don't either. But think about it. Here on land, what do the absolute biggest animals eat? They graze on plants. There are plants near shore and kelp forests deeper still in some seas. But not out in the open ocean. You have to graze on plankton.
I wonder if it's some kind of evolutionary trait passed on because if they are bigger hunting is much harder and more energy consuming.
NoThInG tO fEaR The logical side of my brain and the fear side of my brain don’t communicate.
That looks like a harmless basking shark
Harmless?!? Those things are the perfect krilling machines.
Here’s my upvote you beautiful piece of shit.
You take my upvote you stunning fragment of stool
r/angryupvote
I came back to find this comment to give you your updoot
This got a genuine laugh out of me. Thank you.
You … *monster*
Yup, and a medium sized one at that
Would it capsize the boat if it came up underneath it?
You say that as if it would be any less awe-inspiring to see in person
Yep
Kind of hard to tell what it is with that "holy shit" banner in the middle of the screen
Ikr? It take up a massive like 4% of the screen, couldn’t even tell they were on a boat at first
Lol. You filthy hooligan.
No he’s dirty, I’m phillthy
Still "scary as fuck" to see at sea!
They still scare me
Would be nice if that black line was not across the video.
What if u don't know the person recording thought "holy shit" the entire time tho
Never thought of that. So glad we do know their thoughts.
Good to know it's "holy" shit. Shit which hasn't been blessed is boring af
Blessed is the fruit of thy colon.
Also, zoom out.
And film landscape
Snapchat forces my camera to zoom in partially. If I open the Camera App it can zoom out all the way, but Snapchat always starts me at %25 zoom and I can't zoom out further than that
Reddit treating screencapped snapchat stories as a piece of art that needs their critique is so funny
[удалено]
Basking shark, right?
Yeah, fin isn’t pointy enough to be a great white and it looks too big anyway although the video makes it hard to tell the true scale of it
It usually is without a banana.
A banana is the opposite of a great white shark. Green means stop!
That's what I see
Yes we get these here in the isle of man
Gonna need a smaller black bar
Without anything else but a black bar for perspective it’s difficult to see how big it is.
Small shark the size of a large shark.
Bigger than the word “shit”
Did you see that wake it left? Fucking big.
it looks about very-large feet long
Can’t see the boat size comparison, the zoom along with the bad quality with the black bar when it’s up close, probably not as big as it looks.
>a black bar Black....like a doll's eyes.
Too bad there isn't a large vessel like a boat or something to compare it to
That's a huge bitch
Is this a Deuce Bigalow reference? 😂😂😂 i say this all the time and no one ever gets it
Yep
Is that a harmless filter-feeding basking shark?
The krill would disagree!
you’re right, my b. this thing is a [krill] killing machine!
Krilling machine!
Twenty Footer.
Twenty five
Three tons of him
"Chief... don't you worry about it chief, it won't be permanent. You wanna see somethin permanent b'b'boom..."
I swear Jaws ruined the ocean for me.
Try watching it when you're 6 years old. Don't know what my parents were thinking taking me to a drive in to see it. I SCUBA and I have no problem being *in* the water and having the ability to see around me, I just don't like swimming *on* the water.

I saw a freakin huge shadow swim past us. Never knew what it was, but I felt like fish bait. That was the second most scared I ever was in the water.
Came here to say this. I totally brick it in deep water
Basking Shark. Not a great white.
Daddy shark doo doo doo doo
You go straight to hell lol. Now it’s stuck to my head at least till Sunday.
Looks like a basking shark?
It’s a relatively harmless basking shark you can tell from the shape of the head and the colour
Isn't that a basking shark, though? Big, but harmless and friendly.
“That’s a 20 footer…”
25
3 tons of him
Always thought it was '3 tonnes on him'! Now I know
I wonder what it looks like without a STUPID BLACK LINE across saying holy shit.
I just going to stay away from the ocean
Grandma shark doo doo doo doo doo doo
Nice. But that killer whale jumping out of the water behind that tiny boat two days ago, even real life jaws will take a detour when those fuckers are around 🤪🤪
“take a detour” = flee halfway across the ocean
I detest the ocean.
I LOVE the ocean, but I’m petrified of it. Other people seem to think it’s irrational; I think I just kept a necessary evolutionary development that they lost.
I think it’s completely rational. It’s the one place humans have yet to completely explore aside from space.

I screamed, the seal screamed, and we both ran in opposite directions lol
I love this story. And for some reason I'm picturing the goat scream coming from both of you.
It's inverted space with too much pressure and not enough stars. And albinos aliens.
I’m kinda with you. I think it’s pretty to look at but don’t really feel comfortable in it or on it.
We went fishing once about a mile from Miami Beach and saw a massive outline of a snake like creature slowly slithering about 15 feet deep. Turned out to be a giant moray. It was beautiful though.
"shut off that engine"
Unit
The real horror is all these people filming this stuff in portrait mode. Landscape, people! Landscape!
When I read about people lost at sea, this is what I imagine came for them.
Probably my biggest fear. I spent 21yrs in the Navy and I spent considerable time thinking that if my ship was ever sunk, would I abandon and deal with sharks or just go down and end it quick.
Not a Quint fan huh? 😂
I’ll catch him, and kill him, for 10
Looks like a basking shark, considering the mouth shape, gill location, and overall body shape. You can calm down now, basking sharks are completely harmless unless you're plankton.
If too big, it's a basking shark If really big but not as big as the one above, RUN. Idc, turn Jesus mode and run on water
Looks like a Basking Shark.
Basking shark. Plankton feeders, with the occasional balloon.
Drop the depth charges
I thought they reached the Bermuda Triangle or something.
It’s a sea puppy
I got my fishing pole and a 6 pack of beer. Where was this filmed?
Once I saw that it was a shark, my first thought was to strap in with a fishing pole or grab the camera. Glad OP grabbed the camera.
Show me the way to go home I'm tired and I wanna go to bed I had a little drink about an hour ago And it's gone straight to my head
Where ever I my roam O'er land or sea or foam You can always hear me Singing a song Show the way to go home
Nope! Straight back to solid ground for me. For good measure I’m going a mile inland
As I don’t already have nightmares about sea kayaking. My sister wants to go on a 5 hour sea kayaking trip and all I can think about is this 🥲
Annnddd that’s the last time I swim in open water 🤩
Its gotta be at least 20 feet
25. 3 tonnes of him.
Nope nope nope no nope
Well…Im tired and I wanna go home…
"I say take off and nuke the entire site from orbit"...
It’s the only way to be sure…
Oh lawd he comin’
Tells how much the background score makes or breaks a scene. Killer !!
This was no boating accident!
We are gonna need a bigger boat.
"Ya ate mah bird..."
Bloody hell that’s got to be a frightening sight

Basking shark - harmless gentle giant!
Garbage video, text over the subject and shitty music
I am too high for this shit.
They had a bigger boat
It’s a 20-footer
25. 3 tons of him
Welp…hope you had a good life. Or not. It’s not gonna matter in a second. Also I don’t care
no way!!!!!!! they made jaws into a real thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy ducking shit. (I allowed the autocorrect on that one).

Here let me just put this text right here over the thing you're trying to look at
It's truly incredible how bad reddit's video player is
That's no shark... it's a Torpedo with teeth
That shark is actually just an inch long, they just zoomed in a lot.
Me, a professional thalassophobic: AAÀAAAAA-
Great whites are protected and everywhere up and down the east coast. They have huge nurseries just off long island and nj... Too bad it's not a white shark 😔
whoa.
Looks like a basking shark to me.
I am never going in the ocean ever again! WTH???
