This is NOT me, but since a lot of you love sharks like I do, thought I'd show you some nice, though brief footage of what the diver estimates to be between 12-15' Great White in 170' of water.
The Great White is seen about the 3:00minute mark, before that is him spearfishing.
Think this is some great footage in showing that Great Whites aren't the mindless eating machines some people try to make them out to be.

"They called themselves Guerrilla Divers.
Composed of elite divers with Macho mentalities, back when men were men, and FEAR was a lispy companion of the common Man. It was a time before insurance liabilities, lawsuits or beauracratic regulation of the "sport". Guerrilla divers didn't need "Buoyancy Compensator Vests". In fact, "Anyone who needs a BC deserves to drown" was a popular adage. Exploration and the Hunt came first, excitement and fun followed. Safety was the stepchild of fitness, good reflexes and a cool head.
This was a time of great Adventure." www.sfdj.com
FYI. Here in Jupiter the Bulls recognize the sound of a gun. Maybe the GW did as well.
Yah, I saw a vid about that too. Its amazing when you look at it. Bulls going nuts just from the sound of a speargun and the shark cruising by letting the diver be as he is spearfishing.

From what he said, he actually did reload fast with a powerhead in case the shark was going to turn aggressive. Otherwise, he was very happy to let it go on its merry way.

so after two shots and hits, with nothing on the stringer was he planning on loading with the second or third band to actually get the fish or was he just down there shooting them for fun?

Wasn't there, but he did bring up like a 45# Jack or something.
