Never never never put yourself in a position where a shark can bite you.
I was untangling a 5' blue off my line yesturday and the "son of a gun" bit me and then proceeded to hold on until my "slow" buddy stuck some pliers in his mouth.
Blood every where.
Yes... it was totaly my fault.
Yet another incident where an unarmed citizen was injured because he was denied a CCW permit.
I always have a weapon on my boat but yesturday I was a guest on some one elses.
Needless to say this will not happen again.

Damn, wasn't your shootin hand was it?

It's best you weren't armed, under Caliban law, you can't shoot sharks, and would have to shot your friend.

Pictures, dang it! We want pictures!

Here, here!
