Thanks , you know what? It wasn’t long after that incident that I sold my interest in the boat and got out of fishing . That was years ago . Happy to be on land and ‘look’ at the ocean now days . Our boat was too small , the ocean too big and things in it that made our little boat seem like almost nothing at all .
ps: just watched the video in the report . Our experience was quite different , nothing subtle about it . In this case the shark comes around and checks out the fish and then takes a little nip and then comes back for more . In our case the shark explosively launched itself clear out of the water , leaning against our gunwales while it stripped the fish off the line . No nipping , just gulp gulp gone . It was like having a Polaris missile with teeth suddenly appear . It launched itself , it didn’t swim around hesitantly at all . Just boom !
