Fisherman Catches Shark From Kayak!
Thursday, December 10th, 2009
A fisherman got quite a fright when the snapper he thought he had on the end of his line turned out to be an 8 ft shark.
What’s even more scary is that the guy was fishing from his kayak.
Paul Spathopoulos was sure he had hooked a snapper, but 20 minutes into the battle the fish leapt out of the water and Spathopoulos realized he was fighting a thresher shark.
About 1.5 hours later, Spathopoulos finally won.

Oh congratulations dickhead for killing one of the most beautiful creatures in the sea. I hate the way this site glorifies such a killing. You outta be ashamed of yourself – sharks are one of the most important species on the planet and declining at a rapid rate.Idiots like this only help the problem.
He didn’t even know it was a shark til it hit the surface ya retard. He followed the law. He was following the fisheries law’s. What’s the problem? If it HAD of been a snapper, would that of been ok??? God dam greenies. I like to look after are environment. I don’t litter. I follow bag limits and i love to fish. You have no idea what your talking about. Stop watching so many docko’s and leave the poor bastard alone. Once in a lifetime for him and ya try and take it away. by the way, hi Paul. mate of daz. Congrats on the catch
This is pretty amazing – i love the thresher but i would never go fishing in my kayak just bc ya never know! but this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime kind of catch and it is all pretty amazing – i love the pic!!! classic!

Uh, I think that means he DID know prior to the once in a lifetime “catch”. Still could have let it go. So keep your “retard”-ation crap to yourself.
I wonder if this stupid moron would also smile like this if he had just killed a urang utan – and this retarded media site would publish it like it did now.
Oh yes, is was a fight between men: urang utan against this moron. And after a good long fight the moronwon.
blah blah blah … im a shark lover … blah blah blah … I flip out every time one of these majestic creatures is caught … blah blah blah … I post on every one of these sites just so I can show how important my opinion is … blah blah blah … Animal lives are worth more than human life … blah blah blah. I voted for Obama and im a sheep … blah blah blah
What the heck is an urang utan? Did you mean the monkey? Look up the spelling b4 you try to make a point about someone else?
