Spearfishing is fun. Chasing fish you can turn into tacos is one of the best things there is to do – other than ride waves, of course. You’ve got to be stealthy. You don’t have to have the best equipment, but it has to be serviceable and reliable. You need to be fit, and able to hold your breath for certain periods of time depending on where you’re fishing.
This group was enjoying a day rock fishing in the shallows somewhere in The Bahamas when things got real. A shark decides it had had enough of these guys and their spears in his end of the ocean and takes a piece out of one of the men’s heads. He comes away okay, other than his noggin is bleeding profusely and he might have needed a couple of stitches. All part of the equation when you enter their home.
