Giant shark snatches fish from teen’s hands and drags him through water

Terrifying video reveals the minute a teen practically lost his hand when a shark nabbed a fish from his grasp.

Jahmon Wilson, 18, had actually simply landed a big kingfish off Nelson, New Zealand, when he was cautioned by other spearfishers that sharks had to do with.

Before he had an opportunity to collect his weapon and head house, the water turned white around him and a bronze whaler shark lunged towards him and ripped the fish from his hand.

The shark then dragged Jahmon through the water for 20 metres prior to severing his line.

Jahmon stated: ‘Originally I believed the kingfish simply had a bit more life in it, since often they still have nerves and they still subjugate.

‘Then I felt the force of the shark struck me and the kingfisher removed of my hands, and at that point whatever was simply huge white water.

‘I was holding on to my speargun which was attached to the spearfish – so it towed me through the water for about 20 metres before cutting through the line.’

The close encounter was recorded on Jahmon’s undersea electronic camera.

It comes weeks after 19-year-old Kaelah Marlow was eliminated by a fantastic white shark off New Zealand’s Waihi Beach.

Jahmon stated he might not think his luck that he handled to leave unimpaired.

 ‘I was probably quite lucky not to at least get my hand nicked or bitten, or even to have lost my hand,’ he stated.

‘I guess I’m simply fortunate that the shark had excellent goal and bit into the kingfish rather of me.’

Bronze whalers, likewise called copper sharks, are not normally aggressive to people unless food exists.

But they have actually been understood to bug spear fishers in an effort to take their catch

‘Great whites are sort of another story,’ he stated.

‘Bronze whalers aren’t man-eaters, they don’t frequently assault individuals.

‘They can get quite close and they can take your fish, however really, really, really seldom will they consume a fish out of your hand like that.

‘That’s an actually ballsy, truly positive shark.

‘He just wanted a free, easy feed and if that meant stealing the kingfish out of my hand then that was it for him.’

Although he was anticipating feeding his loved ones with the kingfish Jahmon stated catching video has actually made him feel ‘a little less sour’.

‘You just can’t truly be mad about an experience like that,’ he stated.

‘It’s an experience that most likely just a handful of individuals on the planet will ever have, so simply that experience alone was most likely worth losing the fish.’
