Wow that was triggering, they certainly learn from others. Our experience is similar with whalers and lobster fishing and diving! Great video, Stay safe, have fun , enjoy life! 👍😁🍻❤

Seems to me they are just attracted by the fish you're hunting? Any shark experts here that can chime in?

Whoa, knifing the nurse shark was kinda intense, surprised it came back after the first skin slice......I had an aggressive nurse shark encounter last year in Pompano. I was not Lionfish hunting, spearing and lobstering, so I only had my trusty gen 3 Mako speargun and of course a knife strapped to my calf. It came at me at least 8 times and a light jab to the nose with the speargun would turn it away, but it persisted. I'm not really worried about the nurse sharks, they don't attack and they're normally slow and very mellow. Black tip reef sharks are a different thing. Once seeing several and them coming that close over and over, it's safety stop and jet time. I would never pull the trigger on a shark unless it's a last resort or I am at the boat and about to hop out because once you pull the trigger on a spear without a powerhead, it's anything goes (and usually does). So far, have not had to pull the trigger yet, plan to keep it that way unless I'm the one that's provoked. lol

yeah I kinda blew off a safety stop. LOL. I pretty much never shoot sharks.

He was probably fed by divers and is trained to approach. Poor guy.

The best part is 2 weeks later the same damn nurse shark approached me on that spot, but he never got really close. I was amazed and relieved that it appeared to be pretty healed up already.

@@Speedospearo That's good. That thing was a jaws version of a nurse shark lol
Now I see why this sport is outlawed in a lot of places. Looks like a brutal way to fish and not very respectful.

So it's OK to hook and line everything and anything until you get the target fish? I respectfully disagree. Responsible spearing is selective and ensures the target (and legal sized) species is harvested. (note the key word - responsible)

It's actually the most sustainable way to fish. Look into it more.
