Now that would be a cool title.
Unfortunately, I will have to settle for fishing 4' leopard sharks in the San Francisco Bay.
On a recently popular news video from CNN.com, Diver Craig Clasen stars in this epic battle between man and fish off the Gulf of Mexico.
Caught on the camera of a diving film maker, Clasen wrestled with the giant shark after it attacks the film maker.
Clasen was originally hunting for yellowfin tuna, carrying with him a harpoon gun.
Making a split second decision, he shoots the shark in the back, then hangs on for a two hour ride for his life.
Finally, the shark dies from its wound and everything is happy slappy.
Once again, Man triumphs supreme over the animal kingdom, with the help of technology.
Doesn't that sound like fun? Fighting a vicious animal several times your size and two times your height? Not to mention the three rows of vicious teeth, the shear muscle power in its tail, and and its insatiable desire for blood.
Fishing can be a dangerous sport, so if you ever go, bring a harpoon gun, you never know when you might need it.

What bothers me about fishing is the fact that no one blinks an eye about it, while there are hordes raging about hunting. Great blog, as usual...
