Shark Wranglers

An elite team of American fishermen comes face to face with a deadly predator as they launch a bold, unprecedented mission to catch and tag 50 Great White sharks. Led by explorer Chris Fischer and accompanied by a world-class team of scientists, the crew of the Ocearch put it all on the line in a race to save the shark from extinction by decoding the global puzzle of shark movements and behaviors. They do what no one else dares, wrangling massive sharks by hand as they catch them and attach satellite tracking tags that return real-time location data every time the sharks surface.

Day two of the expedition to hunt and tag 50 Great White sharks in 40 days: Chris Fischer and his crew are stalking and tagging the infamous great white “Fighters of Mossel Bay”, South Africa. An epic battle to successfully haul and tag a fierce 10 foot female Great White pushes the team to their limits, but the day is only half done.

The search for a lost shark drives expedition leader Chris Fischer and the Ocearch crew on a dangerous rescue attempt into murky, shark-infested waters of Mossel Bay, South Africa. With time slipping through their hands and 47 Great Whites left to tag, Chris wrestles with the difficult choice to push on with the mission, or continue the search.

Algoa Bay, South Africa: Tales of monster sharks and elusive Great Whites drive Expedition leader Chris Fischer and crew to the edge in their bid to tag 50 sharks in 40 days. Bad weather and a six-day marathon of fishing test science and fisherman alike until tensions between two crew members threaten to blow the whole mission apart. And, hanging over all is the question, “Where is the legendary Monster of Bird Island?”

To break a nine-day fishing drought, the crew returns to proven shark territory, but nothing goes as planned. In a wicked storm, the ship s anchor cable snaps and whips across the deck with deadly force, catching one crewman in the crossfire.
