rigdvr, for experienced spearo's, the fear isn't so great, simply becuase you've become accustomed to seeing sharks and argueing with them over who's fish is on the end of your spear!!
How-ever, 500lb sharks are puppy's!!! GWS are mean buggers that become VERY AGGRESSIVE when provoked!!! Quite a few guys here had their boats damaged when they tried gaffing a large GWS , when fishing for them was still legal. Any guy that claims he isn't scared of a 5m+ GWS, thats 3000-4000lb's of pure PREDATOR is NUTS!!!! rofl rofl
When i saw my first 5m+GWS, my first instict was : Wow look at this cool whale passing under me!! Your mind simply cannot accept that a shark can grow THAT big!! Its not just the length, but the GIRTH of such a large shark that scares the daylights out of me!!! I was so scared, i couldn't even put a powerhead on!! Simply kept the gun pointing at the shark. He couldn't have been bothered, and simply swam past me and my dive buddy and then diss-appeared.
