Aping the Attacks on the Essex and the Pequod a Bull Shark rams a fishing boat 8 times but does not sink it--To save its intended cobia meal

 

Can it be that marine life are learning how to read
If so bigger and sturdier boats fishermen are going to need
A fisherman was sport fishing off the Florida Coast
While YouTuber Josh Jorgenson the Blacktip channel host
Was filming above with his drone to capture a fish being hooked and caught
When the drone filmed 2 cobia one of the tastiest fish in the ocean sought
Radioed his friend where the fish were that he had just seen
Failed to see or not tell that a bull shark was near the scene
Hooks in the water trying to get the cobia to bite
With the bull shark thinking I am not losing my meal without a fight
Aping the attacks on the real Essex or the fictional Pequod the bull shark started ramming attacks
With such force those aboard feared they to shore would not make if back
5 attacks to then swim away and ram again for 3 more
Major damage to hull and  outboards but not enough to prevent reaching shore
The cobia in the commotion swam away
Leaving the fisherman lucky it was a bull shark not a sperm or killer whale in the fray
