A little longer than necessary for online reading but a reasonable collection of bit & pieces of information about sharks.
Removing a hook down the neck of a large reef shark by hand. No thanks.

Re: Interesting read about sharks
Thanks Steve it was interesting. I’ve been interested in sharks since I started spearfishing at the age of 12.
I’ve seen a few while in the water and am fascinated by them.

Re: Interesting read about sharks
Much the same as Digger I started diving at the age of 12 while on holiday at Bermagui and this got me interested in all facets of the underwater world and especially sharks which lead to me reading lots and lots of books on sharks, on a following visit to Bermagui we went to se Jaws recently released into the theater lol, I never saw sharks as man eaters and never gave them a thought before, during or after a dive.
I had never seen a shark in the water apart from on film. in books or an aquarium until I started kayak fishing and now I see them all the time and find them fascinating but have no fear of them just respect, I often pat them as I set them free after a hookup and only once felt it was not happy about the close contact in saying this you have to respect them in their domain and I don't think I would be putting my hand in one's mouth to remove a hook I usually cut them free
