We were in an anchorage in the madagascar straits. There were like 20 bull sharks swimming along the side of the ship, and the chief engineer hooked one on his fishing pole. after an hour of fighting and 3 of us hauling it up the 25 feet of freeboard, we got it up to the deck level and were trying to figure out how to get it over the rail and onto the deck when the line snapped and the shark fell all the way back into the water and swam off.
I was so close though… I should have just reached over the rail and punched that mother in his sharky nose but good.
