No shark expert but have both read and been told that Hammers are most definetly man chompers.
And I can not think of a single more incredibly risky thing you could do than coming up thru the water column with a large bleeding fish in your hands :o
Just put the bullet in and spin the cylinder, what the h@ll
I had a brother officer who retired about 7 years ago. He was a diving instructor, did it all over for a long time. Used to tell me about the close calls at wrecks right off the Jersey coast. Said even a small normally non agressive shark will take a chunk out of you carrying speared fish up. Said when they appeared they would just let the fish go and head for the top and hope for the best.
No thanks
