Dramatic footage captures the moment a shark attacked a fisherman’s kayak off the coast of Oahu. The fisherman told ABC affiliate KITV he believes the shark might have mistaken his kayak for a seal.
shows a large tiger shark stealthily approaching the bow of Haraguchi's kayak before opening its mouth to bite the kayak's left side.
Haraguchi told KITV that he suspects the attack occurred after the shark mistook his bright yellow kayak for an injured seal, which Haraguchi said he noticed the same day."I am thinking that the shark actually disabled and wounded the seal, let it die or was waiting for it to die, came back and thought I was the seal, and attacked me instead," he said.
Despite the terrifying encounter, Haraguchi continued fishing after the incident. The shark left minor bite marks on his fishing-rigged kayak, which was otherwise unscathed. "I realize that life is short, time is short on earth, make the most of it, be nice to people, all that stuff," Haraguchi said, reflecting on the incident.
