GWS eats half a speargun

Wonder if the gun is still under warranty?
Glad he's OK.

oh great , my gal and I are going diving/snorkeling , by upper  Big Sur this Sunday for our first time in a while...maybe I wont show her this 

that guy sounds like he did a few things right to come out in one piece!!!

staying calm for me would be the hardest part.....

The spot he chose to dive would have not been on my dive spot list.  It is well known that their is a resident large great white at the North Jetty.  I forget it's name.

As for the same for upper big sur.

hahaha...not in 6 feet of water where I'll be lol

The majority of Shark Attacks occur is shallow water according to data from:

http://www.sharkresearchcommittee.com/statistics.htm

"Attacks Related to Water Depth:
Of the 108 authenticated cases of shark attack occurring along the Pacific Coast during the Twentieth Century, data on water depth were available for 88 (82%) cases. Of these 88 cases, 30 (34%) were directed at surfers, while 48 (55%) were against divers. The predominance of depth data reported by divers reflects the fact that accurate depth gauges are a standard part of diving equipment."

YIKKES!!!!    it was gonna do him damage, until he pulled that trigger! = HolyShit!

I'm not sure I buy this story... But hey, stranger sh*t has happened.

I like the comment:

"I don't have a problem with the guy going into a shark feeding zone with a sack of bleeding fish tied to him. But I do have a problem that the guy wasn't responsible enough to have a plan in place to not have to lodge a spear in it. Good chance in the long term he has killed that shark that was just doing what it does every day."

Yep let's go with plan B. Let the shark eat you 

That chart indicates a surfer was attacked in 112+ FOW..? Must be one heck of an offshore break.

Weird... Stand up paddle boarder maybe?

Is there a proper position for that?

I used to kayak fish there until LoletaEric set me straight about the tidal action. Now I have reason #2 to thank him for saving my life. Thanks Eric!
