In trying to unhook it, Willoughby was bitten on the hand and as he let go, a wave rolled the shark onto his body and he was bitten again.


just didnt seem to be his lucky day at all really...

I feel sorry for the shark, could probably do with an anti tetanus jab.

now think about if you caught a large shark, would you stick your hand in its mouth, personally I would just cut the line. One more thing when shark fishing is it not safer to be out of the water, I myself think this angler was a few cans short of a six pack.

The guy sounds a right plonka....thing is..stick a rod in an idiots hand and the press call him a shark hunter just because he hooked into one :shock: ....trying to get the hook out as he stands in the water....he would probably be the kind of guy who would change a tyre in the fast lane.

I liked the bit where it said "good job it was a Raggy" raggy stump more like :lol: :lol:
