Sharknado Frenzy Captured on Video

Off the coast of Louisiana, a fisherman searching for yellowfin tuna was caught up in a sharknado feeding frenzy.

When Dillon May was fishing in the company of his girlfriend on a boat off the coast of Venice, Louisiana, he thought he heard a “tuna boil” a feeding frenzy that causes the water to boil when hundreds of fish feed in the same spot.

May saw sharks feeding on a big cluster ball as a pack. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” May said. “No shrimp boats were in sight either” so it wasn’t like the sharks were following the boats to feed of the leftovers.

May shared video footage showing several gray fins at the top of the water while the crazy shark feeding frenzy was happening. As the boat approached a large menhaden pod, May said, sharks found the pod and “pushed them up against the boat to feast on them.” The sharks were in such a frenzy that they brought water into the boat.

Marc Hardesty captain of the boat said in an interview he has never seen anything to this degree where the sharks just come up from under the boat to feed on a bait ball in such a large group. However, he did say this is becoming more common in the north central golf where the population of sharks has “exploded kind of like a cockroach infestation” and has started to take a big impact on the populations of food fish and bait fish.

Hadesty goes on to say that he believes the shark population is increasing due to the restriction on commercial fishing. He believes that just being allowed to fish in state waters doesn’t put any kind of dent in the shark population that are decimation other game fish in the area. He states that in the last five or six years he has witnessed increasing shark activity in the Gulf.
