Re: Crazy Video...
What an F-ing moron. It's not the sharks attacking HIM that I saw as the most dangerous part of that whole encounter - it is the very real chance of them getting the fish and then dragging his line-entangled body underwater and drowning him.
Insane. |

Re: Crazy Video...
No one had his back that whole time? A situation like that is 100 times more manageable with your buddy's help swatting and chasing them away.

Re: Crazy Video...
I applaud him,,he didn't give up HIS fish, he fought for it!
Where were his buddies!? They should have been helping him. NEVER GIVE UP YOUR FISH! ( well...maybe.... if it was a Great White, or large Tiger...) |

Re: Crazy Video...
I would add multiple charging sharks. One tiger could be managed with a gun. Two sharks and no buddy, you have no defense. He was lucky he didn't lose a hand.

Re: Crazy Video...
Here is a better film...HE WON OUT...He Boated the fish!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WzTh9l3mrQ My saying is.. "All's well that ends well" It makes for a better memory/story than giving up your fish and starting a feeding frenzy. But to each there own... BTW...you thought those were Tigers?! |

Two Galapagos sharks(?), a green tuna, pole spear, no buddy and no boat may be a good time to consider cutting the line. The video is awesome. It was also cut a couple times. I imagine many of us would cut out the cries for help. Good for him though for landing the fish. Personally I hope I never have to use my dive knife to stab not one, but two sharks in the head. That could just as easily have really pissed them off. |

Re: Crazy Video...
I think in this case discretion would have been the better part of valor.
I'd not take that diver out with me on my boat. I wouldn't want to have to explain to his family why their son/husband/dad had to come home in multiple bags. |
