The US Navy Seals were in charge of helping the Astronauts to safety when they would splash-down in shark infested waters in the early days of the space program. They used a spear with a hollow tip at the end and a CO2 cartridge. They just like the hawaiian rigs would wind the rubber cord up and spear them just like any other fish. The difference was that on impact the co2 canister would discharge and fill these sharks with air. I saw some footage on it, it was horrible. Their bellies would inflate and they said it would force the sharks stomach out of their mouths. It seemed to work for the US Navy.
I know a guy who has this short stick and the directions are to shove the stick in the sharks mouth and prop it open as he tries to bite you. I believe that it is very unlikely that you would have presence of mind enough to grab that stick and shove it in.
