As I have said before: Curiosity bite on a swimmer and you are likely dead, curiosity bite on a yak and you live with a cool F'n story.




Matt, watch out for the sharks this weekend:linesnap:

Diver said it was a 7-gill "playing" with his leg.

The shark was aggressive and the diver had a Calico hooked to his belt. The good news is he was unharmed except for his wetsuit.

whatever....it was a SHARK ATTACK !!!! stay away!!! :p

[scoop]

Thats it, I'm never strapping dead fish to myself.

[T Bone]

Dont spear calicos...

[Tman]

At Children's Pool? You must be kidding...

What are those phookin' sharks thinking...

"Hmmm...doesn't taste like seal."




:doh:that's all I'm gonna say to the friends of seals...

[roby]

Speared fish equals bloody fish
Bloody fish attracts shark
I'm sure you know the next step

[Whizz Bang]

I heard it was a pathetic attempt at shark assisted suicide....the guy had a bleeding calico duck taped to his neck and had squirted five gallons of uni butter into his wet suit.

Spearfishing 101, DO NOT HANG BLEEDING FISH FROM YOU!

I hear they're harder to catch bare handed

[Deamon]

Shoots the shark and lets go of his spear gun (lost it)...nuff said there. A "shark" scratching your wet suit is a story told around beers, not to the lifeguards...

Need Jackass's Johnny knoxville to wear a Calico suit since the Squid suit did nothing:D

What's this country coming to...now the taxman is trying to take our dead fish away...maybe this is one of those new tax extensions that we don't know about yet...note to self don't swim in shark infested water with bait attached...
Hey Matt, you need a bigger boat....:reel:

La Jolla — On June 6, 2011 Michael Bear posted the following 'Preliminary Report' on his Sevengill Shark website; "San Diego Free Diver Justin Schlaefli was attacked by sevengill shark this evening. The dive started at 5:45 PM and ended at 6:30 PM. The spear fisherman was attacked in the calf and ripped several holes into his 5mm wet suit and was lucky not to have broken the skin. The attack occurred near the reef off Children's Pool as he and 2 other divers were returning. The diver attacked had a kelp bass on his stringer when struck by the shark. This was reported to lifeguards at the pool who did not believe it at first until his wet suit was examined and the other 2 divers that witnessed the attack confirmed it. After the first attack the shark swam at one of the other divers who shot the shark in self defense. If anyone sees or finds a sevengill shark with a spear shaft and spear gun attached, it would be that shark." Justin Schlaefli later reported;“The calico had been cleaned and put on my stringer by my right leg 4 – 5 minutes prior to the encounter. I have heard numerous stories of sharks going after a fish that was shot and beating the diver to it but this was one level of aggression above that. I would consider it "provoked" because it was clearly after the dead fish. We were in the process of leaving the area to avoid a conflict when the sevengill bit my leg.” Please report any shark sighting, encounter, or attack to the Shark Research Committee

One night last year... Most sharks just seem to have a look then go on their way... but a sevengill was bumping my kayak, followed me for a couple moves then finally lost interest...

A couple weeks latter another seven gill slid his head up onto my lap...:eek:
but again after a couple moves he lost interest...


But I'm sure if someone came into your house and was trying to raid your pantry... you wouldn't hesitate giving them a couple bumps... maybe even a gentle nibble:D

Shu-shu-shu-SHARKS?!?!?

Ask any experienced speardiver in san diego... you'd be hard pressed to find one who HASN'T been harrassed by a stinky old sevengill. The guy's friend stuck it with a JBL .38 special and a floatline, both of which are allegedly still attached to the shark.

Shooting calicos is FUN!:sifone:
