Bet he got tangled in the line and the shark dove deep.

Note to self:
When fishing do not get entangled in your fishing gear.
Carry a knife at all times.

Was he missing before the shark got him, or before?

One of my best friends that I grew up with and known since we were both 4 years old was a commercial fisherman, now a tugboat captain.

“Always have a knife on you to cut a line, it might save your life someday”, was what he told me.

When I was deep-sea fishing I always wore a harness and made sure that the harness was strapped to the fighting chair. There are even videos on You Tube of people being dragged overboard by huge fish because they did NOT have the harness NOR the fighting chair. Stupid is as stupid does.

That’s why we always carried a rifle in the boat when shark fishing. Makes it a lot easier to get a big shark into the boat when they are dead.
