Just to get it out of the way, the music in this video is overdramatic at best so feel free to turn it off if you need to. But the content is as real as it gets. Nothing gets the fisherman closer to his or her catch than going after aquatic meals with a spear in hand. Sometimes, that means interacting with the ocean’s most dangerous predators. There’s definitely a lot of that in here. The great white in South Africa for instance, that basically bumps the diver (he was really lucky). Then there’s the instance in Florida, the final piece in the compilation, where the shark takes a chunk out of the fisherman’s leg. Yes, spearfishing is one of the coolest ways to catch fish in the ocean. But it comes with its own hazards.
