It takes next to nothing to deter a shark, a sharp stap will send them reeling for a good 5 minutes.

mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
I've been in this situation with a 6ft bull shark. Sharks are bastards.
BangForTheBuck
Bulls are some of the worst when it comes to persistence. One of the few species that truly make me afraid in the water.
0ih469qy
A real predator, fending off contenders to his prey. See that, vegans?
VictorGonzalves
For a second, I thought I was looking at something from a video game.
UnpopularOpinionsGuy
Maybe next time don't pull the bloody wounded fish right up to your chest while the sharks are going for it and just cut the line.
manofthewild07
Yeah, the people here say he has big balls. I say he is just stupid AF
JarmFace
Because then you are training the shark that's it's OK to be aggressive around people because they will give you a free meal.
UnpopularOpinionsGuy
And avoiding that lesson is worth potentially losing a hand or foot or any other chunk of body they bite on?
JarmFace
I'm not saying that you don't stab them. I just saying don't reward the aggression. If you do, they might come back to you for more food.
geeratedinboxplease
Line is cable. He wanted the fish, probably thought that the reef shark wouldn't attack him (they aren't known to attack humans much). 1/2
geeratedinboxplease
Took a calculated risk. Looks like it turned out okay. Still, big balls and a risk.
Leithoa
Look more like dusky sharks to me. Given the yellow Fin & blue water he's probably of a oil rig not a reef.
geeratedinboxplease
I don't know dusky sharks, but upon googling, it looks like they and reef sharks overlap in terms of habitat and depths. This is 1/2
geeratedinboxplease
definitely deep blue water though. Yellow fin is mostly deep water, but has been known to go shallower too.
AwesomeTeddybear
Where's his fucking boat!!???
mofreckle
Boats are cheating
Skalo44
"Are you fucking sorry?!" -the speared fish, probably
geeratedinboxplease
Deep sea divers like this often stray faaaar from the boat. He'll have a buoy to tie the fish to.

Where's the fuxking van!!!
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
Typically the boat circles the surface at a safe distance until the diver resurfaces so as not to run them over.

take the spear out of fish, reload spear, shoot the shark, take a wild fucking ride in the great briny depths. What's the issue?
Stonetaku420
might lose the fish, that shits tasty
TigerSauce
yeah, but in return you get a shark towing your ass through the water. Helllll yeah!
valen00
The fish wasn't dead mate.
PhiIIipJFry
Shooting the shark is a bad idea, they currently only want to eat his fish.
TigerSauce
read my whole comment.
PhiIIipJFry
I did, and I just read it again. I don't see anything I missed.
TigerSauce
Then you're missing the joke about being towed through the ocean by a pissed off shark.
PhiIIipJFry
I'm just saying it's a bad idea to shoot the shark. I think your joke can coexist with me expressing that sentiment.
NerfHerderTurdBurglar
Too briny

But he'd be so damn majestic getting towed by a shark.

Skeletorwillriseagain
You try doing that when you have two swirling apex predators swimming at you at high speed. And the fish is still alive and making it hard.
IHateyouIfyouremoreattractivethanme
The sharks we're not going for him, if they were the moment he turned away he'd be bit, these animals can swim way way faster.
DreadPierateRoberts
Leave spear gun find boat
TigerSauce
A.) reread my comment in it's entirety. B.) Get some nuts and do the underwater rodeo.
geeratedinboxplease
You can't take a spear out easily. It has a barb so that the fish can't get off easily. Plus, the fish is swimming.
TigerSauce
How do you not get it was a joke? Reread my comment. Please don't let me think you took that seriously.
geeratedinboxplease
I don't care what you think, really. But yeah, I didn't read the part about wild ride?

DasStiggums
Finally saw a diving knife at the end. Bet he wishes he'd waiting thirty seconds to shoot that fish and had that shit for the sharks
Cultistchan
I mean it looks like a Yellow fin tuna, so that fish could be like 100$ and/or a very taste dinner.
StuffIMadeUp300
*dive tool, my instructor corrected me many times
Danasouris
Sharks weren't after him, they were after the fish. He was just in the way of Dinner. Bet he wishes he hadn't shot the fish after all.
thunderboltsandlightningveryveryfrighting
He was thrashing around so much they got very interested, he should have let the fish go and swam away. Spear fishing is a good way to
thunderboltsandlightningveryveryfrighting
To attract sharks, lots of spear fisherman get attacked by sharks because they forget where they are, down in the ocean we aren't top of
thunderboltsandlightningveryveryfrighting
Top of the food chain, we are coming into their world. I'm glad he was able to get away though.
imshibagel
As a diver, it bugs me to no end divers are always like "you won't need a knife, attacks never happen" yet I see these videos ALL the time
neverrrsleep
Yah until you are tangled in line and need a knife I don't even dive and would still find it useful for many things other then just attacks
imshibagel
The argument is divers use tiny line cutters but that's it. I prefer a good 5 inch blade on my side, which can do more than cut line
IAmASillyGoose
I freedive all the time, fishes rarely fuck with you, sea lions will fuck with you by swimming aggressively fast at you (1/?)
IAmASillyGoose
but then they turn away at the last moment. I think spearfishing is different with all the blood and delicious fish (2/?)
IAmASillyGoose
blood notoriously attracts sharks, I am sure you knew all this, don't let it keep you away from diving, its hella fun.
IAmASillyGoose
But also, always carry a knife, like, you might get wrapped up in bullshit, and need to cut yourself out
JamiesEPIRB
Knife isn't very useful in that instance, the spear is a better tool because you can poke to keep it further from you.
Nihoa
The shaft is in the fish.
JamiesEPIRB
You can still use the rest of the spear to poke to keep some distance.
imshibagel
It's useful when a shark is biting you up close. Spears are good from a longer distance
JamiesEPIRB
think your going to do anything more to stop a shark with a knife, good luck, you're just as well off with your hand if already bitten.
imshibagel
Wearing thick gloves won't help with movement and you need em in the Northeast. A firm thick grip knife makes more sense
wulfcastle
why not just give them the fish and be done with it?
ThatsNoMoonThatsAGalaxy
The same reason you don't just 'hand over' your wallet or TV. Because these animals need to learn that theft results in pain.

I'm not sure sharks are known to eat what's provides and be content. Also, anything he was trying to do was hindered by 3 fish.
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
Depends on why they're attacking him. If it's to get the fish, then it'll work. If it's a defensive maneuver then it won't work. (1/2)
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
Source: I spearfish and have dealt with both behaviors.
spaceraptorbutt
Actually they do exactly that. Sauce: I work at an aquarium and none of our sharks have eaten the fish they live with
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
B/c 9x out of 10 they swim away and leave you alone with a poke. Also, we're predators by nature. Our instinctual response is to defend(1/2)
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
Our kill. He was definitely not in a steady mental status and went into fight or flight adrenaline response. (2/2)
StopShootingMe
I think flight may have been the better response
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
Flight would have lost him a leg. That shark is way faster than him.
88wut
I think its stuck on the spear. Probably has a barb that needs to be retracted. Can't do anything until you land the fish.
Leithoa
Barbs are a lot like the toggles on drywall anchors, just cut the line. It's cheaper than stitches or a medivac to land.
idislikecomingupwithuniqueusernames
Then why not drop the spear, and even the gun if he needs to, and get out of the water?
igotbannedforpostingnsfw
What if he does actually become the target after they eat the fish ?
idislikecomingupwithuniqueusernames
I'm not talking about using the fish as bait. I'm saying stop screwing around with the fish and get out of the water.
88wut
I think the spear gun or line is attached to the diver. Otherwise a fast reaction from a fish could yank the gun out of your hands.
BrofessorMegan
My question the entire time. Seriously
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
So he should drop the only effing protection he has in the hopes that the shark MIGHT go after the injured fish?
SuicideBear
Maybe because fish is the natural prey of a shark ?
idislikecomingupwithuniqueusernames
Spear guns are useless once they've been fired. It was just extra weight at that point.
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
He could pull the fish back on the spear and use it. I've done it before.
