It is obvious that any fisherman becomes upset when losing a decent fish, no less a big shark that could be a pb. So here goes...

My sister gave me a call from Port Alfred saying that she just witnessed a guy fighting a +- 2m Zambezi for over 2 hours. He was struggling to bring it up to shore for a pic and release. Then comes a piss drunk oke and starts with the expletives, apparently he could feel the sharks pain. So he walks a bit into the water and pulls out his knife and cuts the line. The poor fisherman is too tired to do anything about it and just sits there contemplating.

Now  i want to know wat is the appropriate thing to do in such a situation.

My Pa het altyd gese: "Stilbly is ook n antwoord"

Note the lack in responses from the "Shark Anglers" Wonder why...?

I think the silence from the shark anglers is total stunned disbelief, how can someone go and interfear with someone elses belongings, that is totaly above comprehention, I think he was moerse lucky the angler was so tired otherwise it could have had a differant ending.:swear:swear:swear:swear:swear

Swim him for one of the big Raggies in PA. ha ha. I probably would have klapped him around a bit, or called the cops on his ass to take him away for drunk and disorderly behaviour, or both, just say he hit me first.

Afghan do you know where in PA the guy was fishing, if it was off the river mouth I rate it would have been one hell of a fight, which sounds like it was already! 2 hours is a heck of fight, especially for that part of the world where raggies make up most of the shark catches.

In todays day and age best to just keep quiet and let things be, (just think of it as the fish having cut you off) if you react then you become the trangressor! Laying charges of damage to property etc, not worth all the hastle with illiterate staff at police stations court cases etc, and the whole mess will become your mess!
