Post it? Don't post it? There is a lesson, so Ill post. New years eve, we were diving in Jupiter on the deep ledge. I shot a small but legal Cobia. I pulled the line toward me to retrieve the fish. From nowhere, a Bull Shark charges over and grabs the fish. The line goes slack and wraps around my fingers just as the Bull sees me,he takes the fish and shaft and hauls ***. As soon as that dog hit the end of his leash, POP! My glove goes flying. I thought , Damn he got my glove and I reached for it. Thats when I noticed my fingertips were missing on my left hand. St Marys Hospital took me in and the hand surgeon fixed me up. They could not re attach the digits, so they cut the bone at the first joint and did a "flap over". Personally, I will be super careful to stay clear of the gear when spearfishing.
