Brett, who incidentally sounds like a total legend, told the Gold Coast Bulletin (http://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/lifestyle/beaches-and-fishing/gold-coast-spearfishermans-encounter-with-fourmetre-great-white-shark/news-story/4b49269597c9ea2bd4a90501c8f73259) he probably would’ve been toast, had he **t shoved the animal in the head with his unloaded spear.*
