Kayak Fisher Attacked by Great White Shark

In seeking a "free" (or at least relatively inexpensive) hobby to pass the days, I considered fishing. I can actually put a kayak in a creek not 100 meters from here and end up in the ocean. Kayak fishing is very popular and supposedly effective for catching red snapper. But after reading this, I may fish from the wharf.

"What happens when the roles between the fisherman and the fish are reversed?

How do we react when a great white shark is stalking us?

Does it really make any difference if the shark just wants to play, or is intent on tearing flesh from bone?

Kayak fisherman Paul Morris is one of very few anglers who knows the answers to these questions.

It is a chilling tale that leaves this writer in awe of the sheer determination of the man who prevailed.

The following shark attack incident happened in January 2005 while Paul was on a fishing expedition at Taupiri Bay in Northland, New Zealand."

P.S. -- 6 meters is approximately 20 feet.
