Chris D 09/29/2024 The stories told by these gentlemen are incredible. Such a cool time in history, pioneers of land based shark fishing!! Great job, I recommend for anyone who ever wondered what it was like to catch a giant shark from land. Massive reels huge baits and a little bit of crazy! The directors did a great job at capturing a moment in time where sharks were the biggest thing going, when jaws was in the theaters. This is the real story if jaws! Also, a really cool prospective on miami in the 80's...a story about miami not filled with drugs and killings. More of great mentorship and guidance of troubled youth! MUST WATCH See more Greg R @itsgregsworld 09/24/2023 Memories of my Florida before it was taken over by imports. What an amazing story. See more Gregory C 06/24/2023 I enjoyed this movie. Watching them catch sharks and discussing the history of their club you can see the passion they have for such a dangerous but exciting sport. See more 06/23/2023 South Beach Shark Club is a incredible trip down memory lane, especially for those of us who grew up on Miami Beach. Follow the true adventures of Rene, Shannon, Jimbo (JD) and crew and watch their journey from shark marauders to shark conservationists. It is a fun and captivating film that brought me to tears! See more Claire F 06/21/2023 My ‘jaws' ache from yawning. As a massive doc fan - this is down in the depths of the worst. Repetitive & pretty tedious. The constant background thrash metal failed to stimulate & only irritate as much as the content. See more Carmen Maria R 06/21/2023 Sensational!!! What an Amazing Study of a Full On Shark Loving Culture! The Film's Perspective of an Old School Tradition vs New Environmental Awareness and Protection of these Magnificent Underseas Enigmas is Impressive!!! A MOST DEFINITE MUST WATCH!!!
