I go fishing a fair bit, usually off rockshelfs and points and i have pulled in many sharks including baby tigersharks, hammerheads and even a ginigua shark. We just have to be smart on where and when we decide to get our toes wet. Sharks should be respected for they are an awesome creature of the ocean and should be left in peace as it is there home.

When in reality it would be just as horrifying to be attacked and survive with major injuries, loss of legs etc and mental scarring. We tend to put these attacks aside and only concentrate on the deaths. The problem is that everyone gets caught up on how rare fatal attacks are and only really use those as the stats.

In cases like this for humans, this is a chance for escape. Does that suggest that they like the taste of human flesh?? Not sure but I really hope we are not a favourite dish on their menu.
