Oahu, Hawaii fishermen Addison Toki and Dominick Gaballo had just pulled in a 300 pound Marlin about five miles outside Yokohama Bay on Oahu’s west side when they noticed a fin beginning to circle their boat, according to a story on KITV.com.
“As it got closer and saw just the size and features, we knew it was a Great White,” said Gaballo. . . 18 years ago, Toki says he saw a Great White Shark on the North Shore, but that it doesn’t compare to this recent encounter. He estimates the shark was about 15 feet long. . . “I see all types of sharks but when you see one like that it’s like wow. I’m blown away,” said Toki.
The shark reportedly circle the board for about a hour and several times came up to nibble on the boats prop. At one point the videographer says: “If I wasn’t tired I jump on the buggers back. Maybe next time.” As the blog Board as Fuck said, “Best commentary ever.”
