    Do you mean this literally or figuratively, smell fear?


    What I meant by it is what was said previously and so I didnt want to repost something lol. Sorry for not getting back to you. I think that they can sense a heart rate going up. But I also think that there are other things that they can sense when fear overtakes our body. So maybe smell wasn't the right term, but sense would be more appropriate.

    Quote from sdeisen

    i hear all this about sharks taking advantage of fear,, which may be true,, but i remember when that guy near elliot key got all messed up by a bull while retrieving his fish, which is not something a scared person does.. and alan getting chased up by a bull while ascending after doing the same,, and theres no way he was scared cause from what i remember he didnt even know the shark was there, and hau was shadowed with a hammer a few weeks ago and he fears nothing (except crazy women). ive got no right to have input on sharks but it seems like they can get crazy and unpredictable at times and id stay aware of that.-- if i recalled any of these stories wrongly feel free to call me out


    also sharks are awesome and interesting, but when typing there opinion online it seems like people are losing touch with common sense,.. it almost sounds like if a shark atttacked youd say take me baby im yours woohoo natures come full circle.
    sharks do need defending as a keystone species but in the water your self needs defending first.


    I totally agree steven that sharks can be crazy and unpredictable. They are after all wild animals. Im not sure about the circumstances that you were describing with alan and hau, so I can't really comment on them. I 'm not a shark expert, and like I said in my previous post I dont want to portray a blase attitude in favor of sharks.

    And the kid would probably say: "I have been harrassed by a big bull shark, and believe me, they are sweet hearts and bla bla bla," I´m not buying your ludicrous statements. :nono:


    Listen dude... i dont know what your problem is. But i was trying to have a perfectly normal conversation maintaining a level of respect for you and your opinions. However, if you want to act like that, i'd be more than happy to go a few rounds with you.


    The point of my statements was to try and reason with that ridiculously thick head of yours that people shoot fish in the presence of sharks all the time and its not that big of a deal. Ask any spearo down here who has shot a cobia off a bull. Or a grouper near a blacktip. They survived! :@


    And yes, like Judah said, I have been charged by a bull. They are not sweet hearts. I sure as heck didnt like the experience. BUT from that experience and every time I see a shark, I know that when people like you who freak out around sharks are in more trouble than me.


    I'm not trying to portray this blase attitude towards the dangers of sharks, but you're blowing it out of proportion. You think just cuz i'm a " kid" that I dont know what i'm talking about and you can talk down to me? Keep it up and i'll give you a shit storm that will outshadow your fear of sharks.

  • Spearing near sharks

    Monster slayer's arguements about spearing around sharks are not substantiated. Spearfishing around sharks is not irresponsible in my opinion. Just like any other sport, ours has its dangers. Sharks and spearfishing go hand in hand. Like i have said before, sharks are not to be feared. They are to be respected. They can smell fear and like any apex predator will take advantage of it.

  • Pipin video- long shots with different guns

    I'm not denying the fact that the videography and filming techniques on the video leave a lot to be desired. I'm not denying the fact that Pipin is pushing his brand hardcore, and is extremely involved in the commercial aspect of spearfishing. Does that mean hes a sell out? That's your opinion.


    Personally, i'm not going to call someone a sell out for finding a way to make money. Sure his stuff isn't top of the line, or well thought about. But you dont go putting down his name for trying to make money.


    I was simply pointing out the fact that a few of you ( not all) were quick to criticize Pipin and forget to think about the accomplishments he has achieved. I apologize Black1 if I interpreted your comments the wrong way. BUT monster slayer's arguements about spearing around sharks and "silly contraptions" are not substantiated.


    and to set the record straight: I don't idolize Pipin. I respect him for what he has accomplished. If you can't do that, I'd love to see you dive as deep as he can.
