Haraguchi filmed “dramatic” video of the incident on his helmet camera, which he had turned on to record his hunting trip.
“I heard a hissing sound that sounded like a boat heading towards me with no motor, and I looked up and saw this big brown thing that I first thought was a turtle, but then I hit it and realized it was a shark,” the fisherman told ABC.
The video shows a large tiger shark surreptitiously approaching the edge of the kayak, before opening its jaws to devour the left side of the kayak.
Haraguchi told the station he suspected the attack took place after the shark mistook the bright yellow kayak for an injured seal.
According to Haraguchi, he thought the shark had attacked a seal earlier, left it for dead, and returned, mistaking the boat for the seal it had abandoned.
Despite the monster’s attack, Haraguchi was unharmed and continued to hunt.
The tiger shark is also called the sea tiger, and it is one of the most dangerous sharks in the world. It is considered a very aggressive predator with strong senses, and it has a great desire to “take blood “.
