The "breaching shark" isn't coming out of the water for some fresh air, as whales do. They're snatching for food, right? What is it most likely, a bird? another fish he trailing, gone airborne?

They do breach for birds.

likely another fish. Have seen it many time with bass chasing shad and speckes chasing croaker. Fish ambush their meals and attack from below. A fish near the surface is a target meal for larger fish.
