At that point, the frightened fisherman begins to scream as the enormous shark bites his boat, putting tooth marks on it. The angler can be heard shouting, “The tiger shark rammed me.”
Fortunately, Scott was able to dislodge the top predator by pushing it with his shoe, which at around 11 seconds makes contact with the shark close to its delicate eye area.
Scott Haraguchi apparently continued fishing after the shark swam away, even though that would be too near for most of us to feel comfortable.
Running on excitement at the moment, Scott later admitted that he didn’t completely realize the enormity of the meeting until he watched the footage after coming home.
“I looked up and saw this large brown object after hearing a whooshing sound that sounded like a boat approaching me without a motor.
He added, “I was struck by it and realized it was a tiger shark, but my brain thought it was a turtle.”
