Fishermen rescue sea turtle from jaws of tiger shark, wild video shows
Kai Survance, of Kai Owen Fishing, tells Fox News that he and his buddy Bronson Russell set out for a fishing trip “first thing in the morning” on Nov. 22, with the hopes of catching some wahoo. But shortly after they got on the water, the men spotted what they later learned to be a tiger shark.
A fisherman in Australia was shocked to see hundreds of sharks surrounding his trawler while he was out fishing on Friday night.
Wayne McManus took a video of the hungry fish and posted it on Facebook.
According to "Sunrise," McManus was only about 3.4 miles (about 5.5km) north of the Gold Coast Seaway in Australia when he filmed the sharks.

“I’ve been fishing for, you know, more than 30 years and it just seems to be escalating each year so that there are more and more,” McManus told the breakfast show.
He said that he decided to film the sharks “just so I could see how many are actually out there.”
