The Great White expedition team attempts to lure a big biter out of the water, but when bait runs low, they face an almighty struggle to succeed.
The expedition team in Guadalupe spend the final day attempting their biggest coup yet – to produce a blood sample from a great white female.
Dr Domeier embarks on his longest, most dangerous voyage yet to catch, tag and release great white sharks. Weather, mechanical failures and fatigue are just a few of the obstacles looming ahead.
A faulty engine, rapidly spoiling bait and approaching storms threaten their safety and the crew's mission to unravel the mystery of the great white shark's eating, mating and migration habits.
While still pursuing female great whites, the crew can't pass up a large male who may hold the ultimate secret to why sharks gather off Mexico's Guadalupe Island. Does Bite Face have the goods?
Dr Domeier is on the verge of proving great whites visit Guadalupe Island to breed. But the first sperm sample is inconclusive so the crew desperately needs to land another giant male on the cradle.
Expert anglers and a shark scientist unite to unlock the mysteries of the Great Whites life cycle. With a unique vessel, they land the largest fish ever caught on hook and line and released alive.
Season 2 opens in the Farallon Islands, off San Francisco, where the crew have been granted a rare permit to catch a great white shark for research.
The crew waits for word on whether they can resume their expedition in the Farallones Marine Sanctuary as Chris and Dr. Domeier plead their case for the reinstatement of their permit.
Juvenile great whites are studied just off the shores of Malibu, Cal., not far from where beachgoers surf and swim
The crew continues studying juvenile great whites off the coast of Malibu, Cal., where warm and shallow waters provide an ideal environment for young sharks to grow and prepare for adulthood.
The crew heads back to Guadalupe Island, hoping to collect a few more blood samples from adult female sharks.
The crew wrap up their stay at Guadalupe Island after collecting another blood sample from a female great white and catching their biggest shark to date.
The crew follows a female great white they tagged in 2008 to the Gulf of California. They suspect she may have given birth, as the abundance of life in the area makes for an ideal nursery.
In the Sea of Cortez, the team searches for a female great white that they believe is about to give birth.
The Shark Men return home from the Sea of Cortez with an itch none of them can seem to scratch: the marine life there screams SOFA. The evidence of Great Whites, the pods of Sperm whales, the plethora of squid...maybe another mysterious creature also calls the bountiful Sea of Cortez home. With a new scientific team, lead by Steve O'Shea, The Shark Men and him will work together to try to find one of the world's most elusive creatures- Architeuthis: The Giant Squid.
The crew continues their search for giant squid in the Sea of Cortez.
The Shark Men are in the beautiful, plentiful Sea of Cortez continuing their search for Architeuthis- The Giant Squid. The crew is joined on this expedition with the world’s Giant Squid expert to hopefully be the first ones to capture footage of this elusive animal in its natural habitat, but that mission will not be an easy one.
Dr. Domeier almost has enough data to support his theory about great whites mating. The primary target for the blood samples; adult females.
The Shark Men have reached their last days at Guadalupe Island. The team wrangle Apache, a male, a fighter, and their biggest shark to date.
The crew begin working with a new science team and set out to tag tiger sharks in the Revillagigedo Islands in the Season 3 opener.
The crew anchor at Socorro, one of the islands of the Revillagigedos Archipelago. They hook a silky shark, a silvertip shark and a tiger shark before serious electrical issues arise, threatening the entire mission.
The crew modify their methods after failing to hook two tiger sharks. As a result, they land a subadult tiger shark.
The crew find consistent success using their technique to catch great whites on tiger sharks. Later, a remotely operated vehicle armed with an underwater camera is introduced, helping the guys hook two tiger sharks.
As the long, gruelling mission starts to wind down, the tally of tagged sharks continues to rise – along with tensions between the team.
Expedition leader Chris Fischer pushes the team to the limit as they seek one more tiger shark and three more silvertips before leaving the area.
The team battles shark-finning poachers as they attempt to tag hammerheads in the waters surrounding the Cocos Islands.
When Todd hooks a giant tiger shark and the divers abandon a scientist in dangerous waters, it leads to a growing divide over safety issues.
The team finally adds hammerheads to their list of tagged sharks, but the relentless pace of work is wearing some of the men down.
In the last days of the expedition, the team tries everything from midnight fishing to swimming with sharks to tag the elusive hammerheads.
