Another shark Attack

Here we go again. Sounds like one of them "endangered" Bull Sharks.

Re: Another shark Attack

Spearing Cobia that are cruising with sharks is risky, unless it is a whale shark. I have to admit I have done it and got into some pretty scary moments. If there is only one shark then maybe it is not too dangerous ... but if there are a lot of sharks they will become very aggressive as they start competing with each other for food and they will start snapping at anything. I also think that in heavily spearfished areas the sharks actually associate the sound of a speargun firing with food ... never a good thing.

Re: Another shark Attack

Targeting Cobia off the backs of the most dangerous shark in the sea is never a good idea.

Fighting a threshing Cobia on the surface in a school of these same shark is an even worse idea.

Today's lesson is; If you're gonna be dumb, you're gonna have to be tough.
