Every outlet I saw pushed it as a shark attack. All mainstream media just want clicks and don’t care for information.

Who wouldn’t bite someone who was sticking metal hooks into their flesh and ripping them out again 🤷♀️ You would swear reading some of the coverage that Jaws himself was roaming the south coast with a bloodlust on him.

In that case, good for the shark.

It’ll be Deep Blue Sea on Liveline tomorrow. Someone will ring in to go on about how her granny was nibbled to death by goldfish.

So he was an idiot. I naively thought our news outlets were insulated from the american style of copy and paste engagement bait. I lost the last of my trust when they all reported that the girl transporting the bomb over the border the other week spent 2 years in syria based on one person’s mishearing of the fact shes been a member of Saoradh. Such an enourmous statement to make without a single source.

Well if you were hunting sharks, you can’t really play the poor mouth when it fights back.
It is absolutely hilarious (pathetic) . „SHARK ATTACK!“ virgin media and the rest of the tabloids.
Bloke gets a chomp in his calf while de-hooking a blue shark in a boat.
I got bitten down to the bone by a Pike in Lanesborough in 1996 when I was 11. PIKE ATTACK!

Pretty embarrassing to be out fishing for sharks and not know how to safely handle one of you caught it. Gobshites.

Live by the sword, die by the sword – or in this case, shark.

I mean surely it’s an implied risk when FUCKING SHARK FISHING!?!

This is like when a hunter gets killed by an angry stag.

It’s more „Shark Self Defense“ than „Shark Attack“. Leave the poor things alone and they won’t bite you!

Every media outlet is reporting this like it’s as a Jaws type shark attack. The shark was trying to save itself. Total overreaction by our media outlets.
I hope the shark was returned to the water.

The moral of this story is don’t just blindly believe everything in the mainstream media.

It’s false widows/beast from the east etc all over again. They should be fined heavily for disinformation.

Why were they hunting blue sharks? And what’s ghe legality of that? Allowed or not allowed? Fair play to the shark

I have no sympathy for shark fishers. Good on the shark getting one back.

I saw that it had happened on a fishing boat and just assumed some dumb prick had been bitten by a poor shark that had either purposefully or accidentally caught.

Wait this guy was bitten on a boat by a shark that he caught?? Why are so many media pieces framing him as a heroic survivor? What a dumbass

it says about 30% of blue sharks still die after catch and release from fighting the line and damage from the hook
sometimes they have to leave the hook in
