Shark snatch
An Australian man who caught a shark with his bare hands has blamed his antics on alcohol.
Phillip Kerkhof was fishing at Louth Bay, South Australia, and had been drinking vodka when he spotted the four foot bronze whaler shark swimming in shallow waters.
Kerkhof said: "I just snuck up behind him, and eventually I went for the big grab and I fluked it and got him. He was just thrashing around in the water, trying to bite me and I thought ‘well, it’s amazing what vodka does.’" The shark bit a hole in Kerkhof’s jeans, but he escaped injury.
Kerkhof added: "It’s not something I’d recommend to do. When I sobered up I thought about it and I said, ‘I’m a bit of an idiot for doing it.’"
