Grind TV reports about a rather scary confrontation between a Southern California shark tagger and a great white. Here’s Grind TV’s Pete Thomas with more:

One of the great white sharks that attacked Keith Poe‘s fishing boat over a recent three-day period struck the 24-foot vessel with such force that Poe thought it had been struck by a sailboat.

"Words cannot describe how loud the impact was around my head [while I was] inside the boat's v-berth," Poe stated Saturday in a Facebook description of his extraordinary encounter, while fishing near a dead whale off Los Angeles County. "The boat was full-on attacked 7 different times… usually at sunrise or sunset." …

The prolific shark tagger, whose vessel is named Shark Tagger, planned to tag and release white sharks attracted by the whale's scent. See the video here.

Hilarious! I’d never seen or heard that before. it’s a sea chantey from the sound of it, right?

It's an oldie, for sure; I first heard it in grade school. I think it is a poem, but I've heard it sung too.
