Normally a Shallow Water Species!

When i accidently hook a Blacktip Shark it's almost always in very shallow water from reef flats to sand bars. Day & night. Normally they're a shy animal unless you are hooked-up to a fish or when there's thrashing activity. When i dove the Pacific Atolls they're a common & curious prolific shark. Starting next year all shark species will be protected from harvesting. All sharks were safely released.

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.

Neat video.

Beautiful fish.

AH they are pretty!
