    God, I'm so in love with the open sea. If there is literally one thing that I'll be genuinely depressed over not experiencing, it's a deep, long dive and catalog of the open sea. It's my dream to live and learn over it.
    Thanks for sharing this experience. I'm glad that your channel is finally picking up some large traction, and I'm grateful that you're spreading awareness of these incredibly misunderstood animals. You're an amazing person, and I truly love this channel and all the people behind it. I hope this channel goes as far as possible.

    I went cage diving (definitely not brave enough to free-dive) in Hawaii…
    The captain of that boat, only a few months before, on one such trip, spotted a HUGE female Great White.
    He said he could tell the moment was right, as she was acting curious, and even playful, and he jumped in to swim with her. He spent about 20 minutes in the water with her, before she left to wherever she was off too.
    There’s a video on CZcams of it.

    Hopefully that hook is not "treated metal", if not the hook will quickly rot away.
    If you are a angler... do NOT buy anti rust hooks. Sellers advertise it as it costs more... but the reality is, if you get "degradable" hooks (Normal untreated Steel or iron), if you lose a fish, the hooks will quickly rust and disappear without being toxic to the animal or the environment. The line however is a deferent story, if correctly manufactured, it will first become brittle and then turn into micro polymers... which is not good for the environment in large numbers but in small amounts it causes minimal harm, unfortunately the line before it goes brittle can cause a lot of damage. Hopefully the new biodegradable lines improve and replace the polymer ones, reducing their strength and damage they cause after a quicker period.
    Annoys me when i see animals foul hooked, as 95% of the time is through trawling a line, bad timing on a strike or inadequate knowledge of the target fish/location.
    Now i am going into personnel preference here, so don't get triggered anglers... But i see little point in Sport fishing nowadays. I will personally go once on a blue moon to hone my skills and catch something to eat, but "Sport" fishing is no longer for me (Was as a kid)... i would rather Snorkel or Scuba with the "sport" instead and is far more "thrilling" and majestic. I am now at a stage in my life where i have come to the conclusion trawling, mass netting and sports fishing are far more detrimental than beneficial. I will however always support responsible and sustainable rod and line for food purposes as it causes far less damage, is also a good and useful ability to know.
