Fishermen were entitled to quite the spectacle after encountering sharks in the middle of a feeding frenzy off the coast of Venice, Louisiana.
This stunning scene can be seen in images shared on Storyful. One of the fishermen, Dillon May, explained that he and his girlfriend Kaitlyn Dix thought it was a tuna boil, a feeding frenzy that makes the water look like it’s boiling.
“We saw that it was sharks […]I had never seen anything like it,” said Mr May.
From the video we can see that the excitement is so great that we hear the sharks hitting the boat the couple was on. The man also implied that the sharks were in such a frenzy that the water was pouring back into their boat.
Dillon May said they were about 15 miles offshore when they spotted a large school of menhaden fish and headed towards it. However, the predators found it first.
“By the time we got there, the sharks had found the group and pushed them against the boat to feast,” added the fisherman.
