Saturday September 19, 2015, the Mark McCracken fish aboard a kayak off the coast Gaviota State Beach, in Santa Barbara, Calif.. Suddenly he had a visit from a particularly fierce shark sfyrokefalo. The shark came from behind, banging on the boat and he was forced to defend himself by hitting him with the paddle on the head. But the shark did put it down and continued to follow him for several minutes until you come to the Bank.
