I think if I lived down under, I'd go on a spider-killing, plant-burning, snake-skinning, shark-detonating crusade.

Hell,
You could come here to Florida and do the same thing.
We got a buncha things here that'll fuck you up.

Saturday we were doing some grouper fishing while waiting on the tide to turn so we could chase tarpon.

We were anchored about 50 yards north east of another boat.
(Very normal here and not an issue. Except for the ass hats trolling between boats)

A woman in the closest boat hopped overboard. I mentioned to Jim that I hoped she was just taking a leak as this area wasn't safe to swim. After about 45 seconds she climbed back on board. Most likely peeing or cooling off.

As the tide changed, they left to pursue tarpon. We left about 15 minutes later.
As we turned towards the island we noticed they had hooked up to a 100+ pounder.
We motored closer but kept a safe distance. On the third jump we noticed movement behind the tarpon. 30 seconds later it gets knocked completely out of the water by a very large bull shark.
We knew the game was over so we motored closer. As we did so, the tarpon resurfaced and was grabbed at the head by the shark. The tarpon gave a goodbye wave with the tail and then came the huge blood letting.
We chatted with them for a bit about the fish and then I mentioned to her about getting in the water. She said it scared the crap out of her.
I told her that my wife steps on the trim tab and dunks her back side just long enough to pee. She thought that was a better technique.

Bull sharks are nasty predators and I would gladly swim with hammerheads or a great white before I'd swim with a bull shark.

And they will go up river into freshwater if they want to.

That's not handy.
