This one charged me three times, clipping my knee on the third pass. Not a big one but aggressive. He came up at me once and jumped out of the water about two feet.
I probably should have had a few stitches put in but I made some butterfly bandages and it healed up nicely. Razor teeth. You couldn't have sliced my wetsuit and skin any cleaner with a scalpel.
Oh, did I mention that I had speared it before it charged? The shaft passed all the way through so he could maneuver pretty well with just the shooting line. Then, after he hit me I pulled him up on the boat and he slipped off the shaft. My son dove down to get it and it was dead on the bottom.
I've shot a few since then but I am more wary now. I'd shot probably 100 before this one. And some much bigger.
