Shark stories are so hot right now. So apologies ahead of time but this is intense–and a solid piece of POV video, too. This spear fisherman made a nice shot on a Yellowfin tuna off Ascension Island, a small patch of land about 1,000 miles off the coast of Africa, only to have a pair of what look like Galapagos sharks (we couldn’t confirm that) come in and try to steal the catch. The fisherman goes to battle, actually stabbing the sharks with his knife and scrambles to the boat.
