I haven't and don't know anyone who has. I've only ever seen one shark (in the wild at least). It was on a deep sea fishing trip and it wasn't more than a foot or two long. Someone caught it. Shark skin feels really weird btw.

I'm not really afraid of sharks, because the chances of ever coming face to face with one in the water is so low.. Around here we have these catfish called hardheads (https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/hardhead/) that have a poison or something on the tips of their fins. Shit hurts when they stab you. It's like searing pain. They love to flop like crazy when you catch one too (making it very difficult to get them off the hook without getting stabbed). I fear those little bastards more than a shark.

I haven't been bitten by a shark but check this footage out.

it's fake, the actual footage was a seal


there's a photo series that have a orca on vancouver island in a shallow stream
going after a grizzly bear, it's a very impressive photo set, anyway the orcas
are said to go upstream to lay their eggs in the streams but I think they're
really after the bears for mating purposes and this will be the outcome

i know what you're talking about.  Yea I've heard getting stung hurts like fuck.  They're bait stealers too so it can be hard to avoid catching them sometimes.  I hear some people eat em though.  Them and all the stingrays are a much bigger danger than the sharks.
