Fishermen are always looking for the next big catch and sometimes they get more than what they bargained for. Fishing can sometimes lead to unexpected adventures, all depending on where you are fishing.
Some people have gone fishing only to have very powerful fish storm out of the water and steal their catch away from them.
Sleeping Fisherman Catches Whale Whale watching expeditions are a fun way to spend an afternoon, but this group of whale watchers was treated to more entertainment than just whales.
A family videoing humpback whales in the water happened to zoom in on a fishing boat with a man taking a snooze on the boat’s bow.
He had two sea rods in the water, hoping to catch something while he took a short break. The sleeping fisherman was missing the entire whale-watching expedition, but he didn’t realize that he was soon going to be a part of it.
He woke up to his lines whizzing through the water, and he quickly grabbed onto them, possibly expecting a fish.
But as the lines moved faster than he could reel them in, it probably dawned on him that it was a whale caught in his line, not a fish.
The boat then began to be pulled back by the whale, and he ran to start the boat up and follow the line to see if he could get back in control.
The man on the boat then becomes the attraction as he is sandwiched between two tour boats of people who were out for whale watching but ended up people watching.
The man gains control and probably continued to fish as if nothing happened. Man Gets Huge Shock Electric eels are South American electric fish that is a type of knife fish, rather than an eel.
They grow to nearly seven feet long and around 44 pounds, and they have a square mouth, but no scales. Perhaps the more intriguing feature of the electric eel is the fact that, well, they are electric.
Their three abdominal organs produce electricity – both high and low voltage. When their prey gets close to them, they can create a current, not all that dissimilar from a battery.
They can control their victims with electrical pulses and can even affect their nervous system to put them into a state of paralysis.
Now that you know how an electric eel functions, you can see it all play out for yourself! A man gets the “shock” of his life when out trying to capture an electric eel.
He tries to collect it with his bare hands while standing in a t-shirt and shorts in a body of water. He isn’t having much luck, so he grabs a pole to try and bring it to the surface.
All of a sudden, the man makes noises as if he has been shocked, and ends up falling into the water, completely paralyzed and unable to make any sudden movements.
Any movements he does make are jilted and likely caused by electricity. The scary part is the man was mere inches away from smashing his head open on a rock!
