Louisiana fishermen film chaotic shark feeding frenzy: 'Never seen anything like it'
Video taken off Louisiana coast captures fins flailing and flopping as sharks feast around the boat
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Fishermen searching for yellowfin tuna off the coast of Louisiana instead caught sharks feasting on fish on video.
Dillon May thought he was recording a "tuna boil," a term to describe a feeding frenzy so intense it makes the water appear to be boiling, on Feb. 21.
"Then we saw it was sharks on a bait pod, never seen anything like it," May said. "No shrimp boats were in sight either!"
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}May told Storyful he and his girlfriend, Kaitlyn Dix, were fishing on a friend’s fishing boat, and said the sharks were causing so much agitation that they brought water onto the vessel.

He said they were about 15 miles off the coast of Venice when they saw a large menhaden pod and drove the boat towards it.
