Yep- I would crap myself.
That little stick was useless in my opinion. Methinks a longer poker would be helpful.
And note how hard it was for him to maneuver in the water.
I have no idea of what type of shark it is?
It looks like a gray shark, kids play with them they are do dangerous. The best 'sticks' come with a shotgun shell inside, hence the name 'bang stick'

That gave me a panic attack just imagining how that would have felt... had he panicked and tried to swim away it would have bitten him for sure...he kept his cool...that was a big shark...and it was weird to see the shark circling way down below and how fast he came when he started up...terrifying.
