http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200702/s1849109.htm Man attacks shark An Eyre Peninsula [South Australia] man is the talk of the town after catching a bronze whaler shark in his hands and wrestling it up onto a jetty. Phillip Kerkhof from Louth Bay was at the local jetty when the 1.3-metre shark began chasing squid lures. He says he climbed down a ladder and began to follow the shark in shallow water. "I just snuck up behind him and eventually I went for the big grab and I fluked it and got him," he said. "He's just thrashing around in the water but then he was starting to turn around and try to bite me and I thought 'well, it's amazing what vodka does'." The only damage from the dangerous species was a bite mark to his jeans. "It's not something I'd recommend to do. When I sobered up I thought about it and I said, 'I'm a bit of an idiot doing it'," Mr Kerkhof said. Incidentally, my Pop (grandfather) and his mate once found a two-metre hammerhead thrashing around in a shallow beach gully left by a low tide, and waded in to throw it out on the beach. Pop rang the local radio station's fishing show to say how they'd caught a hammerhead. When the bloke asked him what tackle they'd used - he told them that they didn't, that they'd used their hands to man-wrestle it - the bloke hung up on them. Pop kept the dried tail on the wall in his closed back verandah for as long as I can remember. (Pop liked his grog too) |
