Wet-Suiters Beware

[Back Beach]

I always keep the fish 15-20' behind me on a tether, which was suggested to me by a friend who does a lot of diving.

If a toothy critter goes for something it will likely be the fish before your leg, just make sure the fish are well away from you and chances of survival will be much better...

My buddy who lives in Key West was spearfishing and him and his friend were attacked by a Nurse shark going after their stringer on the way back to the boat. They were poking and lunging at it with their guns to keep it at bay when his friends gun fired into the sharks mouth and out through the gills. He said it wasn't a large fish but he was crapping his pants the entire time. I pooped myself from him just telling me about it.

they shoulda just payed the land lord a little rent. Nurse sharks are the biggest little puppy's in the sea. Just don't tug their tale

Sharks eat sunfish?
