Man Kills Shark With Bare Hands
Wednesday, March 11th, 2009
Craig Clasen was hunting tuna with his friends. Ya know, like ya do. He was using a snorkel, not scuba gear. And yet he was able to accomplish one of the manliest acts of all time…
Would you believe that Clasen killed a shark with his bare hands? The 2-hour battle occurred in the Gulf of Mexico, and there is high resolution, photographic evidence of it because he and his friends were in the process of making a documentary.
“Once I shot it in the gills I felt a moral obligation to finish the job,” Clasen said. “In the end we put a knife in its skull.”
Not only was this guy man enough to kill a shark on the shark’s home turf, but he was man enough to shed a single, underwater tear of sorrow at slaying one of nature’s most perfect predators.
