I don't have any experience - so maybe I shouldn't be posting, but I'm bored - but from the threads I have read on this site I think attempting a kill on a shark is a bad idea. First off, safety appears to be the priority, and secondly, if there is a risk of injury from shooting a ray (getting stabbed retroactively by the barb) I would imagine that same risk of injury would present itself with a shark. Why aggravate something that can kill you at will?
And if you really did encounter a big white shark, which I don't think you could kill if you wanted to, i'd see the best possible scenario as this:
The 10-20 ft, 2000-5000lb shark takes off with your rig. Or you could hang on while it drags you down at up to 40mph (I love Animal Planet) rupturing your eardrums due to the fast descent and eventually drowing you with the depth....
