www.loudlabs.com Written by City News Service - A 10 foot long great white shark, hooked by a fisherman and fighting for its life, took a bite on a distance swimmer in the waters off the Manhattan Beach Pier today. The shark -- estimated by county lifeguards to be 10 feet long -- bit the 40-year-old man in his upper right torso and then spat him out, said County Fire Inspector Rick Flores. The swimmer had stable life signs and moderate injuries, and was bleeding but conscious and talking to paramedics as he was loaded into an ambulance among weekend beachgoers on The Strand just south of the pier. A popular stretch of beach one mile north and south of the pier was closed to swimming, as a county helicopter ordered people out of the 69-degree water on a holiday weekend. It was reopened shortly after 3 p.m. About 20 minutes after the bite, the Manhattan Beach police Department brought in the sheriff's Aero Bureau for help in locating the shark, said Sgt. Morrie Zager of the sheriff's Aero Bureau. A chopper crew located the great white about 200 yards north of the Manhattan Pier, Zager said. Deputies directed a lifeguard boat and a Redondo Beach Harbor Patrol boat to the shark, Zager said. ``A paddle boarder was directed away from the shark by the boat crews,'' the sheriff's sergeant said. ``After approximately 30 minutes, the boats were able to coax the shark out deeper water and away from the pier.'' Officials got first word at 9:33 a.m. from 1011 The Strand, a dispatcher said. That address is about two blocks south of the Manhattan Beach pier. A police lieutenant with the Manhattan Beach Police Department said officers were dispatched to the scene at 9:29 a.m. on a report of ``an ocean rescue, male in the water'' call to assist with crowd control. A photographer posted photos of a swimmer being loaded into an ambulance following the incident. The beach was reopened around 2 p.m. after the shark was seen swimming west.

true but that is not how it works for some here i guess.
americans like to insult/talk crap about other country's (like they always do) but when someone talks about america they are a idiot.
right.
idiots are those who blame others but can't take the criticism.
anyway no offense btw. just saying.
americans are real bad in taking criticism.
they only can bitch about others.
that is why they are the "number 1"
All these fools shouldve been arrested and made to pay this guys medical bills. Effing morons.
like have ever seen a shitty scary movie that has a bunch of cliche stupid teenagers.. like so dumb they wreck the immersion.. cause you cant possibly believe theres people that stupid.. these people have proven me wrong o.O
Here is his Facebook page.

The line he used was specifically designed to fish big-game.
Weeks leading up to this, from a now-deleted Facebook post, the perpetrator himself said he would be fishing for the sole intention of luring great whites. This wasn't sardine bait or anything, but fish guts designed to lure a shark to a beach with people swimming meters away.from it.
He has lied to the media, tried covering this up as a "tragic accident," and has shown he is a danger to the public. Right after this incident, he ran to the police at the beachfront to report what happened, most likely lying to their faces as well and trying to cover him and his dumb friends' asses.
Scroll down his Facebook page and you will see immature comment after immature comment, himself joking about the encounter and the incident. He makes fun of a man who was hurt solely because of his own actions.
If Steven Robles was harmed more seriously, or even killed that day this happened, this would be homicide in the first degree.
Let him know what you think.

"Great white sharks are decreasing in numbers and are rare due to years of being hunted by man for fins and teeth, and often as a trophy for sport fishing." - World Wildlife Foundation
"However, scientists agree that their number are decreasing precipitously due to overfishing and accidental catching in gill nets, among other factors, and they are listed as an endangered species." - National Geographic
I mean, don't you laugh when you point a loaded gun at someone's head and they start crying because they think they are about to die? Yeah... real ****in' hysterical...
These pier pricks should be thrown into the water with a hooked shark that is freaking out and then have a bunch of people laughing at them.
You've been wrong at every turn here, and are only throwing out phrases like "you can not learn a single thing" because you've been backed up into a corner. You haven't provided one decent argument here and have gone off more conjecture than I have.
But hey, you know when you've been beat. I respect that about you. (Not really, though).
10b bait is an assumption made because you require a gigantic hook (and again, powerful line) to hook a fish like that. Probably an exaggeration, but one that doesn't invalidate anything I've said at all. Because the fact that they hooked it and held onto it means that they were going for something massive.
Seriously?
It says the people didn't know that the shark was going to bite, but when it did they told them to get out of the water.
This shark would never have come close to those swimmers if these idiots were not torturing the shark by leaving it hooked out there instead of getting it over with. You're right, It is the shark's home, and morons invading it illegally and panicking it makes it defend its home, follow?
And again, you have to be set up to keep a great white on the line. You don't go fishing for freakin' sunfish or flounders off the pier and just happen to land a great white.
You'd be surprised at the chances of catching a great white when you've got a 10-pound slab of fish on your 100-pound test line (which, again, is a requirement for massive sharks like great whites... not something you just happen to be using off the pier on a random Saturday afternoon...).
I know nothing about fishing? Here's something to think about, how many different kinds of bait will a great white go for? They certainly won't go for any worms or jigs. And how does a great white get hooked on a line that is meant for something else? What, do you think they were trying to catch marlin or some other deep sea fish from the pier and just happened to catch and hold onto a 900+ pound shark?
Also, they clearly knew that it was a shark. They said this in the video. They were laughing and snickering as someone was approaching it because they knew that it was going to terrify them. You know, because it's a shark.
But no, disregard all of this evidence and just continue to say that I should stick to the city life like I totally haven't spent the last 18 years of my life hunting and fishing.
Why is that even an insult, anyway? "Yeah, you city boy!" Couldn't that just as easily mean I have more money than you to live in a city with or are otherwise in some kind of white collar work that pays super well? I never got that, but whatever.
Also, the chances of getting attacked by a shark are about as high as getting struck by lightning or having a vending machine fall on you. So these idiots basically artificially increased those odds exponentially by hooking the animal and leaving it in a state of distress without giving any sort of warning to passing swimmers. If it's people's jobs to swim away from the pier, then it's the fishermen's jobs to give them a heads up or at least get it over with when they've got several hundred pounds of panicked teeth on the line.
People "regurgitate" those statistics because they're accurate. When you look at the odds, then the likelihood of a shark bothering those swimmers without those pier guys baiting and hooking one and pulling it right towards them is astonishingly small. Believe it or not, not all sharks are born man-eaters. Crazy, huh?
Why are you trying to defend the guys who sadistically laughed at people in danger that was brought on by illegal actions?
You're saying it's not the fault of the douchebags on the pier who hooked a shark, left it trapped there for about half an hour, didn't cut it loose when they saw swimmers coming, and laughed when someone started screaming because their life was in danger due to the illegally hooked shark?
I've got some news for you. You're more likely to be crushed to death by a vending machine or struck by lighting than you are to be attacked by a shark. If this was just a couple of swimmers who had attracted the attention of a shark, then it's a stroke of bad luck. But this shark is only here biting that swimmer because these idiots were doing something wrong and laughing about it.

2: people accidently fishing the shark..pretty logic if unintentionally.
3: laughing others in urgently need..yes surely you are uncaring retard..
4:people on the boat should ve approaching swimmers by boat n help them up at the same time possibly call emergency lifeguard/ambulance instead of shouting or laugh.
Was the swimmer caught in the line of was the swimmer bitten as the shark was struggling with the hook in its mouth? I'm also guessing the other swimmers all had no idea the shark was on the end of a fishing line. If they knew, they could have swam in the direction away from the pier; that way the shark would find it difficult to pursue them since it would be pulled in the opposite direction.
In the end, swimmers take a risk when entering waters known to have large sharks passing through. Whether the shark was on the hook or not, there was a shark hunting in the area. And a pier not only has fishermen, but also other prey animals that live by and under the pier. If a shark was in the area, it was only a matter of time before it checked out the waters around the pier, regardless of whether there was a fisherman their or not.
My final thought is, was the person on the paddle board trying to save anyone? I can't tell. I sure hope he was. Also I agree with some of the comments that some of the people on the pier are assholes for laughing when they can clearly see people swimming for their lives >:( Very sad really.
If i knew them personally, i'd beat all of them (including the women laughing) into a bloody pulp incapable of processing a thought for the rest of their lives
Think your laughter would be one of hysterical insanity as fear took hold of you and you realised how helpless you truly are as you are eaten ali
ve, chunk by chunk.
Sry people I just get mad at these kinds of things
Are these fishermen arrested ???
these guys should have cut the line........now they got a pissed of shark on the line(btw the rod did look too small but could have had 50#braided line and a good drag) ..and laughed
when swimmers got close..Dicks.!!!!..correction..most americans are cool...these aren't Americans...they're" New Yorkers"...big diff....we don't like em either..lol
do want them to fucking teleport onto the beach. What?
It means start swimming to shore. Man your stupid.
Yep, wild animals sure are the dangerous ones here.
Afterwards I attended the presentation given by California State Long Beach Professor Dr. Chris Lowe. His focus was on factors contributing to the rise of great whites off Los Angeles County beaches. Although citing warmer waters, exploding seal populations and better near shore fish management, Professor Lowe could not definitively say the exact cause of great whites off southern California.
Ultimately the bottom line is: don't fish for great whites or any other shark off public piers. It screams stupidity and is completely un-American.
Fish for a mackerel, corbina or halibut instead when visiting Manhattan Beach pier.
fucking ignorants
Luckily the swimmer is okay.
Wishing the worst on the people responsible won't change what happened, stop looking for likes with your agro comments everybody.
student dick heads.
Monsters...

Attention Anglers: Additional Protection for White Sharks
White sharks received additional protection beginning March 1, 2013, the date it became a candidate species under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA).
In February 2013, the California Fish and Game Commission determined that listing white shark as threatened or endangered may be warranted and designated the species as a candidate pursuant to CESA. As a candidate species, white sharks are entitled to the full legal protection afforded to a listed species.
CESA prohibits the take of listed or candidate species, even if that take is incidental to otherwise lawful activity, unless authorized by permit. As defined in state law, “take” means “hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill or attempt to hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill.” Anyone who takes a white shark without a permit may be cited for violations of CESA and subject to criminal prosecution.

XD I guess.
I'm not defending them, I'm showing that the gy was a dumbass for going near a huge fucking shark splashing around on the surface of the water for an hour, and the people on the pier where stupid, but they didn't know he got bit until he was being brought to the shore.

At the same time, I realize that most of the fishermen down on the pier are not at fault here. But the Manhattan Beach Police Dept. interviewed this guy and let him go and publicly announced "He wasn't doing anything illegal." That's 100% BALONEY SAUCE! You read my posting, watch the video and satisfy yourself they were out to catch a SHARK! The dratted thing was out to sea before it breached right behind me (at about the 30s mark and again at the 54s mark), they had the opportunity then to cut the line, as they had to have known after that long that it was a shark, and EVERYONE knew by that point that there were Great White Sharks in the area, and that this was almost certainly one of those. They should have cut the line right then and there before the thing ran right through the line of swimmers.
I'm not stupid, I don't claim the swimmers have "Exclusive" domain out there or anything like that, but perhaps we should think about curtailing the fishing from the Manhattan and Hermosa Beach Piers during the summer, during daylight when there are swimmers in the water.
Also, we would appreciate anyone's help who may have been eyewitnesses on the pier, and can help in the investigation. Call the Los Angeles County Lifeguards and please make a report on whether these guys were chumming, or whether there was any chumming last week on the pier (doesn't need to be the same day) and whether these guys knew they had a shark on their line.
Thank you.

And apparently the fish was still on the line when it bit the swimmer. This means the swimmer swam directly into an obviously violent fight. The swimmer is 100% at fault for getting bit. You have to be foolish to swim into a fish thrashing in the water.
No fisherman cuts his line until he is SURE of what is on the other end. It is highly likely it was not close enough to determine what kind of shark he had on the line. Since it is legal to keep other species of shark, it is smart to wait until you know for sure you have to release it before you do.
If you don't want to get bit by a shark then stay out of their pen.
This is an edit I am adding.................Now that I've had time to think about it, I would have been laughing too. If I had a shark on the line and an idiot swam directly into the shark I was fighting, I would have been laughing out of disbelief. "Is he really doing this? LOL I can't believe he is. Now he got bit," no more laughing.
I see no fault on the part of the fisherman.
It appears the man on the surfboard was responsible for leading the group. He should have led them around the obvious, very large, fish fight. And they should no better to be near the fishing pier anyway. It's rude and inconsiderate of them to expect the fishermen to pull in so that they can swim by. Swim the other way.
So, you're suggesting releasing a shark into a large group of swimmers. Nice to play armchair quarterback but letting the shark go would not have been the right thing to do. The swimmers should give a 500 yard berth to the pier. The fisherman did what came natural under the circumstances, he tried to pull the fish away from the swimmers. That's why he's laughing because he cannot believe someone would actually swim into something so obvious.
The man swam into the line which means he tugged on it so the shark saw him as the one pulling on the line. That's why the bite was so mild. The shark just wanted to be let go. NOTE TO EVERYONE HERE; DO NOT SWIM NEAR A FISHING PIER. EVER! That's what cause the whole problem in the first place. Don't swim near the pier and we've no story to read.
500 years ago people were smart enough to stay out of the ocean. Modern humans, not so smart anymore. Every year people get bit by great whites off the coast of California and still people demand to swim with them. If you swim with sharks long enough, you will get bit.
Look to the right of this page and see all the examples of shark attacks that happened without the aid of a fisherman. The fisherman did not put the man in the water, the man decided on his own to get in the water.
Sharks eat flesh so any person who is made of flesh is dinner to a shark. If you get bit while swimming in the shark's territory then it is your own fault. Be smart, pay attention to your surroundings. If you see someone fishing in shark infested waters then sharks will be present. There is a reason people use shark cages when swimming around great whites. Here's a hint; it's because great white sharks are known to be aggressive towards humans. DUH! Or maybe you'd like to separate a momma grizzly from her cub then blame a bear hunter for your death.
I watched the Fox news interview with the swimmer who got bit. He was able to push the fish away just by pressing on his nose. If the shark had not been worn out from his fight with the fisherman, he might not have been pushed off so easy.
As I said at the beginning, I don't agree with the way the fisherman handled it but the guy who decided to swim in known shark waters bears the most guilt. Don't blame the fisherman for the swimmer's stupidity.
We will see what comes out of this if the fisherman did have the shark hooked when it bit the swimmer - enter Johnny Cochran and the Californian Lawyers.
I could be wrong, but with the evidence in this video, these guys are getting accused of acting in a way that simply wasn't the case. I urge you to take a look at the equipment in this guy's hands and educate yourselves on what a 7 - 10 foot Great White would do if hooked up by this equipment. Having lost a very dear friend to a Great White, I am very sensitive to the issue. I have also surfed for 40 years, and have caught plenty BIG Fish. I never kill sharks, as I only kill what I would eat - You eat Shark, Shark eat You! It just appears to me that too many people here are assuming conclusions that simply don't appear possible with the evidence at hand.
I heard the victim being interviewed. He never said ANYTHING about a hook in the Shark's mouth as he was pushing on it's nose, trying to pry it's mouth open. I believe the comment, "A 10 foot long great white shark, hooked by a fisherman and fighting for its life, took a bite on a distance swimmer in the waters off the Manhattan Beach Pier today..." is a case of Journalistic sensationalism.
I would like to believe what appears to be an innocent day of fishing on the pier, turned into capturing a Shark attack on video. Nothing I have seen contradicts this.
What's so funny?
They are laughing like hyenas...
Yup. HANG HIM for trying to pull the shark away from the swimmers. I'm done with this discussion. There is no winning.
Please educate me on the laws he broke.
Watching terrified swimmers trying to swim away from a shark that can swim at 35-miles per hours is not funny.
Sorry motherfuckers, would they laugh if they had their mothers being attacked by a shark?
