Part 3/8:
One of the more remarkable stories involves Jared Williford, a fearless fisherman known for catching massive blue marlin and tuna from a kayak. Despite his seemingly reckless adventures—fishing miles offshore from a kayak—he had a near-encounter with a great white just weeks earlier. Jared had shared his experience of a shadow passing beneath his kayak, which most dismissed as exaggeration or bravado until the incident was caught on a webcam.
The Chilling Video Footage
A webcam at Banyan's recorded the harrowing encounter, showing a surfer being attacked underwater by a shark. The footage captures the moment when a large dorsal fin emerges, and the shark swiftly pulls the surfer beneath the water. The surfer's board is torn away, and he is dragged underwater, suffering severe injuries.
