This is the frightening moment a three-metre Great White started trailing a surfer back to shore, just two weeks before another man lost his arm and hand in a nearby shark attack. Andy Johnston was out with a small group of surfers at West Beach near Esperance, south-east of Perth, on September 21 when people ashore spotted the dark shadow looming. Other surfers managed to clear the water onto a reef after people started to honk their car horns to warn of the approaching shark, but Mr Johnston opted to stay put.

One lucky guy. The shark looks at least as big as the surf board.

I hate it when animals come for me in the pristine.
That hurts!

Yes, and how about losing an arm and not the hand?

3 meters is what, 90 feet or something? I have trouble converting Imperial into metric.

I had to cheat and use a calculator.

The guy in the article,. Mr. Johnson, seriously thought he could.
Somehow came out of it uninjured.
Unlike the other guy mentioned.
Holy smokes, somebody was watching over the idiot.
For some reason.

There are several fish I will not mess with.
Piranha, pike, pickerel, Oscars, and sharks.
Oscars because they will chew with those darn needle teeth once they grab.
