It’s unclear why he waited two years to post the video, and he could not be reached to clarify. The video, titled "Deep Blue (The biggest shark ever filmed) second part," shows Deep Blue circling the cages of researchers in the waters off the [URL="http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/mexico.htm"]Mexican[/URL] Coast, with one diver swimming outside the bars. Padilla posted the footage of the 5,000-pound female on his Facebook page Aug. 10, where it has since received over 1.6 million views. "When I saw Deep Blue for the first time, there was just one thought in my mind: Hope," Padilla wrote on his SlideShare page. "A shark of that size is at least 50 years old and that tells me protection and conservation efforts are really working. Deep Blue has been spared from longlines and the inherent dangers of being in the wild, and somehow she has found her way in the vast ocean. "During November and December, we have seen several White Shark pregnant females like DEEP BLUE in Guadalupe Island feeding on seals, satisfying their needs to feed their pups."[/QUOTE] [url]http://abcnews.go.com/International/video-footage-reveal-largest-great-white-shark-caught/story?id=33038151[/url] Holy fuck the size
Damn, look at all those scars. She's war-torn.
Ballsy dude hanging out of the cage like that.
I've seen that video before. Yeah, she's fucking HUGE.
i never realized just how big oceanic creatures could get until i visited a large-scale aquarium 20 feet is long, sure, but it's also the sheer thickness and height of the damn thing. that shark would easily fill up a regular medium-sized bus. fucking grand, i tell you.

Great whites/sharks in general have been my favorite animal since I saw Jaws as a toddler; always wanted to go diving with 'em, I'd shit if I had a chance to see this beauty with my own eyes.
[QUOTE=agentfazexx;48451292]Ballsy dude hanging out of the cage like that.[/QUOTE] Just casually pushing that motherfucking shark out of his way. Those huge balls must be uncomfortable in a diving suit.
Fucking hell I hate those things
So fat
[QUOTE=Buck.;48452341]Just casually pushing that motherfucking shark out of his way. Those huge balls must be uncomfortable in a diving suit.[/QUOTE] Well, it's like the OP says, these sharks have been allowed to feed on seals and grow to this size thanks to conservation efforts. A shark isn't a mindless monster, usually that only happens when they're in a frenzy or something. He was likely perfectly safe, or as safe as a guy can be next to a shark like that.
Hope she doesn't end up getting hunted and killed because people are scared of sharks.
Sharks are cool as shit, people should stop killing them for no reason.
"Imma eat ya!" "Haha oh stop it you"

[QUOTE=Satane;48453107]They taste good They are dangerous There's 2 reasons.[/QUOTE] Same two reasons to kill us off, too. ... I've not eaten human before... just going by what I've heard...
[QUOTE=Robman8908;48453174]Same two reasons to kill us off, too. ... I've not eaten human before... just going by what I've heard...[/QUOTE] Hey, and if I'm swimming around and a shark gets me, he got his meal fair and square.
[QUOTE=Satane;48453107]They taste good They are dangerous There's 2 reasons.[/QUOTE] They're only dangerous if you're in the water.
That's a huge bitch.
WOW. Holy fuck. That's AWESOME.
[QUOTE=OvB;48453191]They're only dangerous if you're in the water.[/QUOTE] I dunno, Samuel Jackson was only near water when he got fucked up. But that is one cool shark, sadly i feel it's gonna be hunted as a trophy cause of this. Also fuck High 5ing that thing.
[QUOTE=Satane;48453107]They taste good They are dangerous There's 2 reasons.[/QUOTE] It's not advised to eat shark since their meat has really high concentrations of mercury due to bioaccumulation.
[QUOTE=Mr._N;48453734]It's not advised to eat shark since their meat has really high concentrations of mercury due to bioaccumulation.[/QUOTE] It's not advised to eat a LOT of shark. It's okay to eat shark a few times
This is straight nightmare fuel for me.
"We're gonna need a bigger boat" comes to mind, holy shit I'd be too scared to go near that thing.
[QUOTE=Mr._N;48453026]"Imma eat ya!" "Haha oh stop it you"[/QUOTE] After watching the video, I died of laughter at this.
[QUOTE=OvB;48453191]They're only dangerous if you're in the water.[/QUOTE] I bet you're the type of person to answer the door when someone knocks and says "candygram" too, aren't you? You don't know what sharks are capable of.
[QUOTE=dai;48452289][t]http://i.imgur.com/UGeDVrh.png[/t] goddamn I almost missed it, it's so small in the frame![/QUOTE] Yup, that's a shark.
[QUOTE=Satane;48453107]They taste good They are dangerous There's 2 reasons.[/QUOTE] If people were eating sharks, I'd be okay with it. Problem is, they're eating the fins which have nearly no taste while leaving the rest of it out to die.
[QUOTE=Satane;48453107]They taste good They are dangerous There's 2 reasons.[/QUOTE] Ummm, I've heard that actual shark meat tastes awful. They have to age the meat for like a year or something to make it palatable.
