Rare footage captured by a camera strapped to the back of an endangered shark shows the moment it was struck by a boat, prompting the animal to dash into deep waters.

Boat hits massive 23-foot shark in rare video footage

Orcas relentlessly battered a yacht in a “terrifying” two-hour attack Wednesday that didn’t end until the $128,680 vessel sunk to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.

Robert Powell, 59, and his crew were just 22 hours into their 10-day trip from Vilamoura, Portugal, to Greece when the pod set its sights on the £100,000 — or $128,680 — sailing boat.

“To me, they were not playing at all, they knew exactly what they were doing. They knew the weak points of the boat, and they knew how to sink it,” Powell, who was meant to be celebrating his birthday aboard the boat,...

A camera attached to a basking shark has captured the first-ever recorded instance of the species being hit by a boat. The 23-foot (seven-meter) female basking shark was struck off the coast of Ireland on April 24. Researchers from Oregon State University attached the tag that only stays on for 12 hours so they were either lucky to capture the footage or incidents are more common than previously thought.

Thorne Brothers Stealth Spinning Rod 7-foot, 10-inch MLXF. The 7-foot, 10-inch MLXF is tailored specifically for throwing a light marabou hair jig, light drop shot or small swimbait. For my purposes, I have found it to excel specifically in throwing a hair jig. The 7-foot, 10-inch gives the extra length to cast super light hair jigs, and the extra fast tip lets the rod load up to whip the lightweight bait out there.

A great white shark thrilled anglers recently in Cape Cod Bay by following a hooked striped bass to their boat and leaving them with only its head.
The accompanying footage, captured outside Rock Harbor and shared Sunday by Cape Cod Incidents, begins with an angler reeling the striper to the boat with the shark apparently holding on but not resisting.
“He’s swimming to us,” one angler observes.
“He didn’t let go,” another cautions.

The excitement ramps up as the group realizes the shark is only feet away: “He’s right there!”
Within seconds, though, the angler who was fighting the striped bass is left with only...

They were almost in deep ship!

A superyacht capsized in the Chesapeake Bay near Washington, DC, forcing passengers to plunge into the water as it sank — and prompting a dramatic rescue, authorities said.

The splashy, 122-foot vessel, known as the Lovebug, began taking on water around 12:30 p.m. Saturday near Edgewater, Maryland, police and witnesses told CBS Baltimore.



Striking footage shows the $8 million superyacht — which docks at the Annapolis Yacht Club and costs $125,000 to charter per week — sinking on its side in a heavily traveled area near the mouth of the West River.

The taxman always gets his share.

Or in this case, he gets the whole thing. Fishermen are always having to keep an eye out for the "taxman," which is what experienced fishers call sharks that lurk behind and around their boats, waiting to steal away their hard-earned catches. It's a really shallow thing to do, but you can't really blame the sharks in the sea for getting an easy meal.

In this clip from 2019 out of Orleans, Massachusetts, it appears that a family had gone out on an excursion with Columbia Sportfishing when the striped bass they had hooked quickly turned...

Heather Strout Thompson has been hauling lobster since traps were wooden. Here are her top lobster rolls in her home state of Maine, from Chipman's Wharf to Luke's Lobster. Hundreds of years ago, lobsters washed up in droves along what's now Maine's rocky coast, so plentiful and cheap it was fed to prisoners. Today, tourists from all over come to the US's north-easternmost state for the meatiest, sweetest lobster in the world, thanks to its freezing cold waters. And the best lobsters naturally make the best lobster rolls.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

One Walmart shopper is issuing a warning against buying meat at the massive retail chain—but the reason why isn’t strictly tied to Walmart.
