Here's hoping he posts the vid footage on here (unlikely I will see the news)! Would love to see the beast materialise from the grey. Also be interested to know whether they had shark shields on.
to close for comfort in my books... i love diving 30 to 40 m ...sort off changes your mind.. i would have def let rip (eyes) .and cut rope on spear(sorry people who like them) but it could have gone other way, someone could have gone...i know your in there ocean and you take risks ...does anyone really know how many are out there ...i personnally dont think there endangered ...just my opionion ......dont get banned by turning nasty its a interesting topic ...you cant tell me the one that was trolling up and down at scarbrough way was looking for whiteing and tailor ..has it fed there before??? they are hunters and go where food is ,,,same as any animal ..was vic hishlop right same shark up that way ??? know one really knows ...to close to shore line and was causing threat in my opionion....i fish heaps and in the last 6 years i have seen my fair share of whites...cockburn last 2 years warnbro last 2 years ..why are they there food (pinks) and i bet the 2 up pinnys are there this year again....good to see no one was hurt..balls off steal...cant wait to watch footage
But I couldnt see the big kahoonas that would have taken. Man thats mad. Had my close call years ago when I was chased on a windsurfer, and no way am I getting in there again. Poddy, cred man, you have bigger ones than me.
Was planning on taking my new boat out Saturday for a spear and been having dreams bout this and it came true to you. Hope it doesn't phase you to much and you keep on the straight hook!!!

Awesome stuff either way
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Those shots wouldn't have been so clear if I had been in the water, there would have been a distinct brown sludge fouling the area.
