**(Exlaining a few of the many reasons on why that happened on the previous video I just posted)**The guy holding the mouth 99% of the time would have been completely fine if the other guy never grabbed the tail. That's one of the many reasons why you don't grab his tail while someone is already holding the mouth open, or if the guy holding the mouth open isn't aware or ready for it. The second his tail was held, that shark has a whole new point of leverage that the dude on the mouth side wasn't expecting. It gave the shark something to push/pull off of, which allowed the shark to turn much farther than he previously could have. At least at that speed and strength. That's also why I get in the water as far as safely possible when my clients are about to land the shark. The sharks can do the exact same thing when it gets shallow on a sandbar. Using their body to push/pull off of the sand differently and more aggressively from when it was swimming (suspended in the water column), giving the shark better odds of spitting out that hook or breaking the tackle if their had been any weak point that wasn't seen or addressed before or after sending out the baits. Placement of feet/legs and body weight was another major factor. Placement of feet/legs and dudes body weight was another major factor.
