Any chance of fleshing this one out ?

Sorry have had no reception so couldn't reply..

I was attacked by a 3.5 mtr crocodile whilst spear fishing..No I wasnt in a creek or billabong,I was 40 mls off the coast over a reef..

If it wasnt for another peoson who swam over and speared it whist it was attacking me,I wouldn't be alive today..

The shark pics have cause enough of a stir, with some of the e-mails and PM's ive received so not keen on explaining the outcome of this any further..Plus it's a very hard story to write to get the true event across properly..

Cheers Ean

Wow! That's a new angle on the old 'one that got away' fishing story. You could hold your hand out at head height and say "He was this big!".
I've spent enough time in coatal Arnhem land to become freeking terrified of these monsters. Incredible creatures best appreciated from a distance imho.

I do not believe there was any harm done by this thread at all.

Its not an argument but a discussion.
What you come across in your line of work is just that.
Ambulance officers come across stuff we would consider cruel and unfair but thats life.

You fish to not just feed yourselfes but the masses.
I thank you for that, people have fished for many years.

On my trip through the North of this wicked country, I came across some very big crocs. From what the black fellas(I call them that because they call me white fella) tell me, once they get a taste for human flesh, they will come back for more.

Glad you got away mate.:cool:

Thanks for the response, sorry, didn't mean to open any wounds.
As for this thread, nothing wrong with discussion as long as it doesn't get personal and people understand that having different views is OK. I reckon we're all the better off for it.
Thanks again for sharing with the rest of us.

PS. The above doesn't include Collingwood supporters. You've got to have some standards.

No Probs Deano, the wounds healed years ago..

I must admit I was surprised at the varying responses to the shark pics, but doing the job I do and over the years hearing some of the things we get accussed of doing I shouldn't be surprised..

Think I will stick to the advice of posting my own pics in future, it may save me having to reply to some e-mails I've recieved reguarding the shark pics posted here..

A lesson learnt I say..

Cheers Ean :)

poor fush bro he looks beached as!
