I really want to remove the hook but I don't wear chainmail and I am not trained to do it. But... I will find a way! Not happy with the initial purchase on the lionfish the shark then turns to the camera mounted on my sling handle. This shark was in a heightened state of investigation and investigating to see if my camera was a lionfish. This shark could have easily took my hand off it it wanted to but it didn't. Because it was not interested in me at all but more interested in the potential meal that the spear represented. I firmly believe that sharks possess object recognition and have incredible memories and problem solving capabilities. Although I fully acknowledge that they are wild animals and deserve my respect. If I push limits I will get bitten.
