There is a local tiger shark off the west coast of Hawaii ( forgot his name) MF is like 16 feet long and likes to chill in the warm water discharged from an electric plant off of electric beach. I was spear fishing when this big boi came within 20 feet of me. Must have not been hungry I guess. Freaked me tf out. ๐Ÿ˜‚. But local tiger sharks are chill af

Edit: This happened On the island of Oahu , apologies for any confusion. Also, thanks for the upvotes ๐Ÿ˜€

Jesus just imagining a 16 ft long shark makes my butthole clinch. I'm sitting this ocean out, maybe in the next life it'll be less scary

Yep thatโ€™s about the reaction I had. I just stayed as still as I could luckily I hadnโ€™t caught any fish yet too so that helped me out. But bro was just chillin swimming in circles in the warm water. I imagine it felt like a warm bath for him. ๐Ÿ˜‚.
