A boozed up Aussie???

A boozed-up Australian fisherman wrestled a 1.3-metre shark onto a jetty, suffering only small tears in his pants. Phillip Kerkhof, 41, caught the bronze whaler shark by hand after he spotted it chasing squid lures at Louth Bay, South Australia. "I just snuck up behind him and eventually I went for the big grab and I fluked it and got him," he told Australian Broadcasting Corp. The area near Louth Bay, around the southern tip of South Australia's Eyre Peninsula, is well known for sharks and live shark action for the 1975 movie Jaws was filmed nearby. Mr. Kerkhof, who said he had "a fair few vodkas" beforehand, added he only realized the danger of his actions the next day. "It's not something I'd recommend to do," he said. "When I sobered up I thought about it and I said, 'I'm a bit of an idiot doing it.' "
