tha thanks. right below you. right below you! that s a great shot! there s a shark. i think they like my feet. they like it. it s exactly what he went for. they re staying deep and they re coming up and hitting. just keep pulling them out, you know. i ve already had two bumps now that have been pretty deliberate. they look like they re getting a little bit more fired up what was that ? jimi, hello. thank you so much for joining me this afternoon for a chat. it s lovely to have you. it s a pleasure! it s a pleasure! this is the perfect time to do things like that, now that we re all at home. what makes you love working with sharks and going back year over year? the sharks, really. it s also a lifestyle, which i m slightly addicted to it, perhaps. nothing wrong with that, jimi. next question, have you ever been attacked or bitten by a shark? no, i don t think i have? well, definitely nothing serious. nothing serious. it s early. all right. ready? so in th
how do you feel about getting ready to go in for the first time? yeah, mate. it s my first time out here at edwards island, and already we have half a dozen big mail sharks around the boat. i know what i have to do. i have to get back in the saddle. i ve got to get close to these animals again and reaffirm in my own mind that they re not malicious and that they re not out to get me. good luck in there, jimbo. thanks, dickie! have fun. i have to do this. if i ever hope to work with great whites again .
coming up from down below. check, check, okay, topside, topside, push me further away from the boat. so now we had to figure out a plan to get the sharks from the deep back up to the surface. i see a bunch of sharks down below. it s an unbelievable sight. it s impossible to keep them off of you. not sure who was more nervous at that point, me or jimi. and i told him, hey, man, we can hold off for a while and try this tomorrow, but he wasn t having it. okay. let s do this. dickie, dickie, see if you can try to pull them up with the
bait. dickie, i would just bait further out, aggressively, but like nowhere towards me. okay, topside. hey, jimi, heads up, buddy, i see him coming up right now. shark here. that s the one in the water. that s our shark. it might be coming back on its own. interested. whoa! i wouldn t say i m experience flashbacks as such, but,
oh, nice! just grabbed it! yeah, yeah! he just reached in look at the shark, though! it s going to turn on the bait. come take this out. okay, get ready! what an amazing start here on edwards island. di dickie s been wrangling an amazing shark on the bait line. you ve got your work cut out for you there, mate. this is the first time i ve encountered a great white shark since i was almost killed by one, and let me tell you, it s an emotional experience for me .
