The boat was fully licensed and it was an accidental catch.The shark had drowned before it was taken onboard

As for the scientist veiw that we dont taste good..I personally put this alongside the statement that where there's Dolphins there's no sharks..

Sorry to tell you good people but I see them feed alongside each other 4 times a night every night..IMHO this is just a statement that comes out to calm people when an attack has occured.

I have seen sharks in such a frenzy when I was fishing off the continental shelf on the west coast of Aust that the sharks started eating each other so I doubt very much any human would,ve been bitten and left alone.

I dont and I dont know many people who deliberately go out to catch these creature's, but they do get caught, or tangled in nets beit fishing nets or beach nets..

As for the scientic side of it..After having survived an attack from a monster from the ocean 16yrs ago( altho it wasnt a shark), and still having the nightmares from that day, I dont think they would have too many volunteers to test their theories..Certainly not me anyway

My 2c worth

Know what you mean. My mother in law was pretty scary in swimmers as well.
Any chance of fleshing this one out ?

I've got an agreement with the sharks. I'll stay out of their ocean if they'll stay out of my bathtub. So far so good.

Love Cape town, dived there too and white pointers had their fair share of attacks there also.
Good work on the Navy rescue job.
i always admired those guys. Gear up and get in no matter what. WOW.

Forgive me for being such a argumentative *****.
just posting my point of view. Don't like it?
Sorry mate--No harm intended.
