This weekend Jason went SCUBA diving with his friend Larry for Jefferson Davis's birthday. They were spearfishing at about 110 feet. Larry had a 25Lb snapper and Jason had a sheep's head on their stringers when out of the depths came a shark looking for a snack. Larry, a sensible man, tossed his fish and made for the boat. The shark, hungry for more came after Jason. It was coming up at him nipping at his fins. Jason was kicking at him and hit him with the butt of his gun but since his gun wasn't loaded that was all he could do. The shark circled around and came back at him. Jason managed to get one band pulled back on the spear gun and attach the power head. As the shark was coming up at him he shot it right on the money spot on the top of his head but...the bang stick did not go off. The shark swam off but Jason knew he'd be back. So Jason pulled 2 bands back on the gun and took off after him. The shark came at him, mouth open for the kill. Jason shot him right through his open jaws. The shark was stunned but still alive. Jason took advantage of his stupor and made for the boat. He handed the gun to Larry and climbed aboard. It was at this time the the shark began to fight in earnest. Jason managed to capture this image before they released the shark to save the boat.
