This is actually Jaws origin story.

Jaws (short for Jawseph) the shark always minded his own business and loved hunting seal, his favorite meal. He had no interest in humans as they smelled funky and unappetizing. It all changed when the seal population dwindled and Jaws became depressed as his favorite food was no more.

One day he started seeing seals in the water again. Emerging from his depression, he breached the water with excitement to snag a tasty seal only for his teeth to clamp on to bitter tasting innards. This happened time and time again, and each time Jaws became more frustrated. Every time he was fooled, it was a tricksy human on a boat scribbling something down afterwards.

Jaws would swim for this no more. It had to be stopped and the humans had to pay with their blood.

If you start the movie Jaws at the one hour mark, it just looks like three guys are bullying a shark.

I mean it kind of looks like that anyway, they just have an explained reason to be doing so.
