I don't mess with anything... not looking for a fight... unless... I have had one too many beers.
That ALMOST happened back in 2013 down in Gulf Shores AL. My niece was catching waves with a raft... and she is redhair and as white as a spinner bait. Which is exactly what the 7' Bull Shark thought she was.
Luckily, she caught a wave right before he got to where she was and he literally swam right by me. I am in 30" water... and holding a beer. And I am thinking... I can grab that sumbitch, take two steps and have him on the beach.
The more I am thinking he is just swimming around me, trying to figure me out. I am pointing to him before some kid on the beach finally see's him and yells.. SHARK!
I guess that is when I decided..., there are only two outcomes.

Man Catches 7' Bull Shark with Bare Hands
I still think it was 50/50 either way.... I had the angle but he had the weight. One more beer, and one of those would have happened.
