Spearo helps out this shark tangled in line in some incredible footage from @derek_van_hook and @keywestwaterman - we may get frustrated with sharks competing for the same prey as us, but I like to think no one following this account would ever want to see one actively suffering. 🦈 From: @derek_van_hook “I’m drifting for wahoo when I turn around and see this shark swimming straight up to me. I could tell by its body language it wasn’t being aggressive, and as it got closer, I noticed it had a plastic line wrapped…

That dive graph is a cool detail on this drop from @derek_van_hook - plus a nice shot at almost 100ft! 🐟 ••• ••• From: @derek_van_hook ••• “Sometimes the slightest hesitation can make or break a dive. On this drop, I was lucky. Even with the delay, I still managed a solid holding shot on the fish with a last second shot! I was diving just under 100 feet with a double wrap of line, which gave the fish enough room to get rocked up in the coral. That led to a long and stressful extraction over the next few dives,…

@derek_van_hook doing the safety dance with a nice Wahoo… May your Sunday be less upsetting. 🎯 🐟 ••• ••• From: @derek_van_hook ••• Not sure what’s worse, my recoil anticipation or the fact that I couldn’t get the safety off…. Let’s just say that the safety has been permanently disabled after this.
