Dreaming

03/11/2020

The fastest fish in the ocean is now classified as an endangered species. It rivals the Great White with its impressiveness and pound for pound power factor. It's crazy to think that an apex predator like this is no match for modern commercial fishing techniques. Long line fishing has definitely been the main cause of the decline in Mako populations worldwide. The only way to protect Mako Sharks from further declining numbers is to regulate the techniques used. Although they say Mako is "good" table fair I strongly disagree. There are plenty of other sustainable types of fish to eat that aren't such badass creatures. I have gained a mutual respect for these animals by spending time in the water uncaged for many filming missions. The thought that one day they could go extinct kills me 😔

Hands down one of my favorite shoots of all time🖐🏾 A week in Hawaii with 3 of the most creative dudes that I can call my brudduhs. We traveled the road to Hana, went cliff diving into seaturtle infested water, climbed trees in enchanted forests, and even found out that my hand is no match for a #inspire2 nicknamed #themurdaburd

All I can say is when is the next shoot fellas??? @nickgallopphoto @nicktaylor941 @brian_heimann

When you mix an epic location with epic sharks and an epic cast/crew, and there is only one thing that can happen- you make the most epic show. Can not wait to see it come to life tonight. To everyone that was there, I am so honored have been a part of this with you (especially the sharks) 🦈 tune in at 8pm central to watch the greatest white sharks on the planet!

It's finally here!
@sharkweek
#sharkweek

A ton of hard work was put into this year to make it as epic as usual. We are so blessed to be able to work with the coolest animals, and also the coolest people on the planet! Everyday is a new adventure whether it's trying to film a behavior rarely seen or a devising some sort of crazy camera contraption at 3am the night before the shoot🤪 I wouldn't trade it for anything!

Always remember there is some crazy underwater cameraman that is on the other side of that lense you watch when you are sitting on your comfy sofa😜

There are 440 different species of sharks. Name your favorite one. For me it's a tie between makos and whites. Makos are so extreme, but the great white is always going to be "THE MAN."

Shark Week is finally here!

The greatest week of the year is right around the corner 👀

🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈 SHARKWEEK! 🦈 🦈🦈🦈🦈

It's my favorite week in the fact that it spreads awareness about the health of our oceans and the animals in it. The yellow highlighted boxes are the shows that we were a part of. Keep an eye out, you might even see me in a few of them.

Make sure to set your DVR

Cheers!

Tito the Cubano Cocodrilo

By far one of the craziest species I have been in the water with. He was so calm underwater. I have a mental picture of @markrackleyproductions pressing this guy over his head underwater 💪🏾💪🏾 I didn't film it because I was holding both red cameras, oh and also because we were underneath a barge😂

Apex of the islands

One of the most badass fish in the ocean. You can see them in 3 ft or 3000ft of water. This female was tagged by my good friend @draustingallagher we were able to snap some awesome pictures of her. Hopefully he can tell us her name🙏

A lot of people think nurse sharks aren't as cool as normal sharks, but what if I told you it has the most biteforce pound for pound out of any shark. @tristanguttridge @draustingallagher did a test last year with @shaq that proved how strong their bite force really is #biteforcemeter #shaqweek #crazystrength #nurseshark #nassau #atlantis #bottomfeeder #fzproductions #secretmission #3d #r3d

Xiphius Gladius

The only fish that can come up from 2000', jump out of the water, and then speed back down to the sea floor so fast they'll get their sword stuck in the mud. Truly the gladiator of the ocean. I have seen makos that have scars from doing battle with them. I've heard of uw cameramen being attacked by hooked fish. I think every fisherman would agree that this is one of the baddest fish in the ocean #gladiator #marcusaurelius #latin #fzproductions #sword #warriors #swordfish #swordfishing #mako #oceansprings #voodoo #nailedit #offshore

By far my one of the coolest species because of how sleek and agile they are. I had no idea how big these things got until I went with @joeromeiro333 @devonmassyn off Rhode Island for 4 day open water drift. The final night one came in that was easily 10-12ft. Such a slick design for one of the oceans most widespread ocean predators #naragansett #sharkdiver #atlanticsharkconservancy #redcinema #nautiboys #nauticam #cressi #fzproductions #discovery #sharkweek #monstermako #lostcage #atlantic #pacific #stealth #apex #predator #underwaterdp #moneyshot #green #water #blueshark #blue #🔵 #🦈

Another week in the books diving with the coolest species on the planet! It's such a shame that #makos have been added to the endangered species list. Every mako I have filmed has been such an incredible animal to work with. Makos sharks aren't only in trouble because of the fin trade, but they are extremely slow at reproduction and the meat is considered a delicacy. I come from a fishing background where I have tried it in the past and I can tell you that it is not worth killing such a cool animal for a few measly pounds of greasy, super fishy, shark meat. I know some people don't care, but this is an apex that deserves respect. The fish scientists around the world are saying to leave the species alone. The problem is it's not illegal to harvest makos in the 🇺🇸 To add to the problem fisherman who don't care about the rest of the world will say well hey our fishery is healthy so we can do what we want. Same guy that says " he hopes his kid can fish too when they grow up." Our backyard is the oceans nursery and we should definitely be good to the #gulfofmexico Makos can travel thousands of miles over their lifespan. The sharks we have tagged each have their own unique migration that can take them to places far from where we intitially deployed the tag. Sometimes they travel to countries where there is no Conservation or marine protection at all. If you would like to argue about how makos aren't in trouble I'm all ears along with @harteresearch @sharktagger @joeromeiro333 @atlantic_shark @tristanguttridge @drneilhammer @gregskomal @devonmassyn @ocearch @drguyharvey @markrackleyproductions

🦈GREAT WHITE SHARK🦈

#saycheese
I have been lucky enough to visit quite a few of the great white hotspots around the planet and there is one thing that all of the sharks have in common. They all have the incredible ability to make themselves invisible to their prey until it's to late. It doesn't matter how crystal clear the water is this massive apex #predator will always find a way to use its camouflage and counter shading to its advantage. Each shark has the insane ability to know what direction your eyes are focused and will always find a way sneak up on your six. As and underwater filmmaker no matter what the subject is that I am filming, safety is always the number one concern. I can't tell you how many times I have been filming scenes that have nothing to do with sharks yet somehow they always figure out a way to make a cameo appearance 😉 I personally will always encourage their presence. I think it adds to the drama of the scene😂
