I am surprised to see White Tip Sharks on your list. I just got back from APO Reef in Philippines and there were several white tips around at times and they ignored us. No one thought that was unusual either.

In Iceland the sharks are afraid of us. We hunt them, chop them into little bits and eat them like candy. The taste is horrifying but some people eat the like candy I swear.
When i was reading this I instantly thought of Billy Connolly and his shark story.

Being a surfer, on the west coast of the US, I’ve had occasion to encounter sharks. Sharks are most prevalent where shark food is found. Stay away from seals / sea lions! When in Hawaii, resist the urge to swim with the sea turtles. And don’t act like bait! No crazy splashing and playing. Save that for the pool. Be confident. Sharks can smell fear.

Has anyone thought of using a bang stick (basically a shotgun shell on the end of a stick…..you punch it in and it fires off)? A load of number 1 buckshot into a shark’s gills should be a punch he’ll never quite forget…..

Great article….I’m gonna go for the Smith & Wesson .45 as opposed to the pile driver. Been kayaking the Monterey Bay for the past few days with the kiddies. Sharks be forewarned. I will get my MANLINESS on if you decide to engage. I’ve got opposable thumbs that are registred with the F.B.I.

Why when it comes to being attacked by a shark do people always say things like, “don’t worry, you have a better chance of being struck by lightning.” I really don’t see how that is a much better alternative. How about, “don’t worry, you have a better chance of getting caught up in a naked pillow fight between Jessica Alba and Megan Fox.” I would probably have a better chance of being attacked by a shark and then having that shark struck by lightning.

This was a great read! I am terrified of even the idea of sharks (even pics scare the hell out of me) and I was smiling and laughing through this whole thing!
