Re: Bull Shark takes mermaids #COBIA

First problem is your on scuba, . Second you have no backup, whoever your scuba buddy is is elsewhere unable to help you, 3rd when you shot the fish you let him unspool your reel. sharks are less likely to try to eat the fish if it is closer to you or you subdue it quickly. The reason scuba is a problem, you are very bulky you are unable to maneuver up and down through the water column as easily as if you were freediving. The success rate on scuba of Landing a Cobia is very low compared to freediver especially when sharks are in the equation. Not trying to talk s*** because I do both but I am speaking from experience. I have seen your videos and there is way more fish being lost then taken in.
