Obviously another Walt Disney Character with a camera, looking for Nemo zeN||


BWAHAHAHAHAHA! rofl :duh
Yeah I DO own a camera. I am no walt disney character and I do spear........ alot! Wouldn't bother shooting a shark....... but I do play tag. ( this is a game me and some friends made up. to score you have to touch the shark or fish while it is free swimming.)
So far I have scored a Tiger shark, Several white tips, a grey reefie.
Another game we play is a bit rougher, where the idea is to subdue the shark bare handed. ( I have a leopard, a tawny (nurse shark in the US), a blind shark (another species of nurse shark) and a couple of tassled wobbygongs :) not game to grab a whit tip yet . Oh yeah, lol........ looking for nemo, thats what I do for a living! :cool:
I really think that killing sharks- especially for kicks is ummmm not real good for our public image. In some parts of the world, people who spearfish are getting squeezed into smaller areas and more restrictions are being put on us all the time. PR work IS important.
With the current public perception (which is correct) that sharks are overexploited and mis-understood, it would be smart to excude them from your list of targets.

Oh zeN. I couldn't understand that PM you sent me . It made no sense? Just take a deep breath, count to ten and try again ;)
 
You play tag with Tiger Sharks? Well that speaks for itself. As far as harvesting a shark for your own personal reasons, I say follow bag and possession laws established by Fish and Game, anything else is simply personal preference. If I gave a hoot about what every yahoo thinks about what I hunt I wouldn't be a hunter
Breathing deeply, zeN

Yeah they are not as nasty as people make out (well I haven't come across one while spearing, that could be a different matter :p ).
Funnily enough the smaller ones < 9ft are alot more unpredictable and aggressive than the older/wiser? ones.
