Putting a fish you intend to keep out of misery
is not brutal, no matter how many times you have to beat it over the head or try to Ikki it.
That jump on the first vid was brutal. Better than sails and Barra with full boody well and truely out of the H2O.

Jumpin Shark
Imagine how many of the guys would have fallen overboard if that came straight into the boat with the jump. Pretty sure the eleven whacks to the head killed it without the stabbing. LOL

That is mad - great vid! Could you feel it moving around to the side of the boat? Have any idea it was about to launch? LOL. Imagine if that had landed square in the boat!

awsome footage
thats once in a life time footage getting a shark jumping like that
nothing wrong with the ending . i hit a 7ft whaler about that many times thought it was dead brought it in the boat took photos holding its mouth open and put it down the back of the boat to go back on the drift and it started thrashig about trying to bite everyone so nothing wrong with a few ikijimis to the head to make sure

I thought the same Adam. A few well placed bites and chomps around the hoses and cables at the back of the outboard and it could have been very different. Funny tho, well done.
