357 magnums. That wasn't a good shot, the sharks came out of nowhere when he started bouncing around. I wonder if they are good to eat, that was really my intention when I shot him.
That is not cool (The powerhead shot is, but not the shark). That doesn't even look like a Bull. I could be wrong, but that looks like a Sandbar shark to me. I love the idea ov having your powerhead on a second gun. I am going to start doing that. It would have taken me more time then I would have liked to attach mine.
Really? Come on guy. Not much effort was put into discouraging the shark during that encounter. I counted 10 seconds from the time the shark showed up until the time you pulled the safety on your bang stick. Another 10 seconds and the shark was dead. You were either scared to death, looking for a fight, or both.
Although the classic anti-shark maneuver known as the "fin flip" is normally effective (not), I find that a quick jab with a pole spear does wonders to discourage sandbar sharks.
With a spent bang stick and an agitated bull shark on the scene, I'll bet the video that came after was entertaining. :yes:
:thumbup: Well said Bryan. COuldn't agree more. I think all this shark killing business that went on this weekend is disgusting. I have been diving here 10 years and pretty much always see one or more while spearfishing. Never have I ever shot one, or been in a situation where I felt like I needed to. This new thing with guys trying to show their dominance by killing sharks, really just makes you all look like whimps. If you don't like sharks, then get a new hobby, because they are a part of the game.
Be very very careful. Relatively easy to build, quick to kill if you don't understand what makes it tick. It opens up a whole new world. What do they say: Once you try rebreather, you never go back. Or something like that. I can't figure out why no one wanted to go with me to try my first effort out.
Wow! After seeing that, I don't care how many sharks you shoot, I won't call you a name questioning your manhood. That is insane. I am not saying you are insane, just the rig you made. Now you got me more interested in knowing what makes it tick.
