I can just imagine him saying 'F you' with the spear 
(Fortunately) I've never been in that situation but I can imagine he'd be saying a whole lot more than "F you"....
sweet jesus, you'd be looking to buy new jocks & a shed load of Lotto tickets....
Question would be when to pull the trigger.
Think I would have on the first pass that it was almost in his mouth ???
Right or wrong??
Ive offen thought the same thing as a spearo, if you were ever in that situation where to hit it? I have heard a story from a friend of a friend because its highly ileagal, never mind moraly wrong but this guy diving on a old oil rig north of Perth appently speared a 2m Bronzie and the thing went absolutly ape s*#t! Just stated thrashing around, snapping at everything, all he could do was hide behind a pilon and dodge the hurricane. So long story short if you were to flick the lacky at a 4m white you would want to know how to hit the sweet spot first time. Ive also heard storys of Tuna farmers in SA putting 10 powerheads into a white and thing still didnt die. So yeah, sweet spot!

Great idea. Have an angry shark attached to you with a spear on a string.

Hey Steve, This video was shot in the very spot where we did the downwinder in Feb -- right at the end or our street. The guy the vid is the nephew of one of the guys I work with...
I was up in Gero surfing drummonds point that day. Goes to show we are always surfing with sharks.
That gun needs another 4 rubbers.
The bad part is the shark is out of OUR view with 2 flicks of the tail. Then u dont know which direction they will be coming from.
This shark is just politely telling him to pee off and from its body language is starting to get annoyed. Time to move on. Good footage tho.

Isn't spearing with air assist illegal??
not to mention, cheating.
It is in Aust. But lots of other countries still allow it.
Its totally unfair and not a challenge. I could see big problems with air embolisms and bends if you didnt have a breakaway rig
Great footage of of one of the biggest killers on our plant and a great white shark as well

You can still spear on air in WA, home of the aquatic readneck!
I wonder if he had a catch bag full of bleeding fish or was the shark just inquisitive?
Desperate attempt at diversifying into fishing gear hence conquering some cowboys while losing those who think harassing sharks or any other species is weak and stupid?
