Are you a lawyer? That would explain it.

I consider myself a predator... far more dangerous than a shark.

...and many times with sharks around I was actively spearfishing.

If they'd gotten a whiff of the blood from your speared fish, they'd have
taken notice. Ever seen a feeding frenzy up close and personal?

I use a paralyzer tip ... blood alone may do it after a while but fish
struggling at the end of a pole is like a dinner bell. The paralyzer stops
that... and I get the fish out of the water in a hurry. Never had a
problem.

We did a shark dive (with experienced guides, etc.) in the Bahamas some
years back. Let me tell you it was terrifying, all those monsters darting
around at top speed when they released the chum and feed fish. Why one or
more of us didn't get at least hit by accident is a mystery to me. Perhaps
we gave off a smell or electrical sensation that didn't appeal to the
sharks, or maybe they see better than reported. But it was something I
wouldn't repeat on a bet.
