[QUOTE="J.P., post: 203664, member: 5999"] while fishing for macks off a philippine outrigger boat called bangka, a friend of mine hooked a 5 foot black tip shark. it was his first shark so instead of cutting the line to release. he insisted that we land it, take photos and release afterwards. we did not have a noose, so he gaffed it in the mouth. my friend gaffs the shark, hauls it on the deck, the shark immediatly flops around, my friend looses control, shark drops on the tiny cockpit and twists and turns around flailing his head with gaping jaws, making us scatter like flies. now these local boats are narrow, we were fishing off a bigger than normal bangka, but even then the open cockpit was only about 4x4 feet, rest of the boat was engine bay and storage space. i was trapped and had nowhere to go but over the side. isn't it ironic? jumping to the water to save myself from a shark attack...... i totally blame myslef for trusting a new guy with such a dangerous animal.
