I would think that many Taco Standers have already seen this, but it is a windy (I mean really windy down by the Celtic Sea here, gusts close to gales) morning so a cup of coffee and some surfing online. I wish I could post some climbing photos or posts.

Heck, could you imagine being the guy in the cage. Shades of Jaws.

Maybe the shark thought the diver was trapped in that cage, and the shark was trying to bust him out to rescue him.

Was that cage made in China with substandard materials?

Those jackasses should just be leaving wild animals the f*#k alone. Clearly the shark was hooked on some kind of a rope. That's pretty f*#ked up to be f*#king with an animal like that.

Here's some more if you are into that kind of thing-->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kATx5kk50po

.....short version, don't F with wild animals.

I guess c*#k fighting got too tame?

That dude was really lucky his hookah wasn't ripped out or had his head smashed by the tail!

Chaz, that's funny.

Couchmaster, I agree, that was the first thought that went through my mind when I saw it, just leave the fish alone.

I was going to write that in my O/P but with some on this forum, I wasn't sure what the reaction would be.

And no, I don't get my kicks watching that stuff, but it is an interesting video.

After watching it a few times I convinced myself it was photo shopped or green screened or whatever. F*#k who knows these days.

"It's easy to perceive these great white sharks like JAWS and hearing scary music, but it's not like that. They are so huge and awesome to see and experience. I couldn't stop watching these sharks; it makes you realize we have to protect them in every way we can, and try to get past the perception of JAWS."

Yep, that video is sure going to help the cause.

I guess they're going to try to cash out on the video since they are blocking it from being seen on Youtube now.
