Not real. Notice the shark is hauled up with a good size rope yet the angler is holding a rod and reel. The blimp is moving too fast for a line to get in the water and it would be skipping across the surface too fast for the shark to catch it. Also notice the shark isn't moving, it's already dead. It was set up as a gag film.

I actually think I woulda' enjoyed driving the blimp on that gig. It would have been quite a challenge, but doable.

Fun video.

Thank You for pointing out the illegitimacy of that video ! Someone could be seriously injured watching it and having a few laughs !
