A Hawaii man has a new fishing story to tell — and show — after his kayak was attacked by a tiger shark.
Scott Haraguchi was fishing about a mile offshore from Kualoa in Oahu when a shark suddenly swam up and bit his kayak.
“I heard a whooshing sound that sounded like a boat heading towards me without the motor and I looked up and I saw this big brown thing my brain thought it was a turtle but then I got slammed by it and realized that it was a tiger shark,” Haraguchi toldHaraguchi had accidentally left his GoPro on after he caught a fish, so the entire ordeal was caught on camera.See the video in the player above.
Haraguchi said he kicked the shark off and then kept on fishing. He later noticed a wounded seal, which he believes was the shark’s prey.The marks on his kayak were minimal, he said, but he’s going to bring a partner for future excursions.
