Fisheries hook Great White of 10-to-15-feet near yesterday's attack…
Yesterday, the surfer Ben Gerring was attacked by a suspected Great White shark an hour or so south of Perth. His leg was severed above the knee and the twenty nine year old remains in a critical condition in a Perth hospital.
As local surfer Paul Collier told ABC news,
“I was in fairly wide…Ben was in on the tighter section of Gearies, and the shark came up and attacked him, and I saw a big splash and a big pointed thing which was, I’m not sure, the shark launching.
“We dragged him up on the beach. Of course his leg was ripped off real bad, it was ripped off at the thigh.
“I’m just in absolute shock with the whole thing… [I’ve been] gathering support from other surfers and being with my surfer mates and talking it through.”
This morning, in response, the department of fisheries set three drum lines at the beach and, a few hours ago, confirmed they’d hooked a Great White of between ten and fifteen feet. It’ll either drown on the drum line or be pulled in and killed.
How do you kill a Great White?
I once posed that question to a shark fisherman. All you need, he said, is a rope lasso.
Let the fish swim through the noose and when the rope passes those iconic, collectable, priceless jaws and just before it reaches the dorsal fin, pull tight.
Four, maybe five minutes, and the White is dead. Hanged.
“Get ’em on the hook and they go neanderthal,” he said. “Use a powerhead and if you hit the wrong spot the spot the shark’s going to take off with half its face blown off. Of course, the lasso method ain’t perfect, either. Use the wrong people and they can get dragged over the side.”
Was the attack a surprise? Maybe not.
According to WAToday,
“A 3.5 metre great white shark was reported by a member of the public about four kilometres south of Falcon Beach, just hours before the Mandurah surfer was mauled.
Another tagged great white of a similar size was detected by receivers on the north side of Garden Island, about 40 kilometres north of Falcon, on May 27.”
“I, I’ll do it for 40 grand and some hash”
I with #TeamSharks fuck surfers and how they look like delicious seals. Also, I figure empty line-ups
“There are four questions of value in life… What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living “for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is same. Only love.”
Is this that ta ki shit Brad?
good
fuckoath finally #fuckthesharks
If you don’t have the balls to swim in the ocean don’t do it.
So what…someone invited you to go sightseeing Africa, somebody should go ahead and kill lions prior to Lady Di’s arrival ? You are a fucking princess.
HEY LITTLE CHOAD,I DO SWIM IN THE OCEAN, INFACT I EVEN SURF IN IT. WHOS LADY DI AND WHY HAVE YOU INVOLVED HER??? I WOULD EXPECT IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM LIGER ATTACKING PEOPLE ON SAFARI THEY SHOULD KILL IT YES?
I don’t think they should, Why did they kill that gorilla that had that kid. Seemed fine to me, just let the kid get raised by the gorilla.
This is the comment of someone with absolutely no experience with sharks. If you’ve had one of these cunts the size of a van swim up next to you, you know they are ugly smelly cunts! I would laugh so hard if I got to dynamite ones face half off! Life would be a dream, shaboom, shaboom.
How do they know it’s the same shark?
You must really hate freedom! It doesn’t matter if it’s the same shark – this is a BLOOD FEUD. And we have solid intelligence that the Shark Sheik is manufacturing Weapons of Mass Destruction. If you’re not with us you’re a shark. #MakeGreatWhitesLessGreatAgain
