Saw this on Yahoo today, thought I'd share it here. Don't know the full story, but its a shame that these guys had to kill the shark, but if they felt they were in danger, I would understand.

Leave it to the media to claim that a spearfisherman spent 2 hours underwater struggling with a shark.
I don't know exactly how threatening the shark was, although they did say it was becoming aggressive, but I did sense remorse on their part they had to spear it and to their credit, they did say they do not spear fish for sport, but to put food on the table.
Where was the boat? Why didn't they get on the boat or go to shore? Not one of them were injured and they kept on filming? For two hours? I think this was staged for monetary gains. Just to far fetched.
Jafo, those are some really good questions.
My thoughts exactly! It sounds especially odd for spear fisherman to have remorse for killing a fish. I hear spear fishermen on the dive boats all of the time talking about the big fish and sharks they have killed.Quote:

They surely wouldn't remain in the water for two more hours! Remaining in the water shows that they were never in fear of the shark, and therefore they did not shoot to defend themselves and are full of crap.
One of them said "they were handing gear up to the boat when they heard something". Therefore the boat must have been close, certainly close enough for them to get out. Also one of them said that the shark swam away and then came back.Quote:

Maybe one of them needs to have an accident with their spear gun so they really know how it feels.
