South Carolina man gets bitten on the head, shares attack video
https://www.charlotteobserver.com/ne...222295370.html
A South Carolina man was spearfishing in the Bahamas over the summer when a shark swam up and bit his head. My only thoughts are that Hogfish was pretty small. C'mon man. |

It was probably mad at those morons shooting juvenile hogfish, FFS.

I’ve never seen a group of divers exit the water so quickly and I don’t blame them! Good thing that shark wasn’t bigger because it could have been much worse!

Re: South Carolina man gets bitten on the head, shares attack video
A bit of necking is dangerous when a shark is involved. Good thing this guy was as headstrong as he was and managed to come away without too much damage. I hope he doesn't let this encounter go to his head and continues to enjoy the sport. These things happen and now that quite a few dive with video these are being documented more often. Why did it test bite and why where it did? It's a headscratcher for sure

I seen what you did there. Crafty, but don't let it go to your head.

Re: South Carolina man gets bitten on the head, shares attack video
I think we have a case of recto-cranial inversion here.
"6-7 foot shark"? Nah, brah - more like 4-5 foot. Hogfish? Good GOD I would drown anyone on my boat who came up with such a small hog - damn think couldn't have been bigger than 7 inches. But hey, at least they were on a Contender! |
