Try getting an 8 foot tiger shark in the boat!!!! I shot it right in between the eyes with a 9mm Glock at point blank range with its head out of the water. It bled out for about 15 minutes, then it was out of blood. BUT still totally alive and pissed off. It was at this point that it slapped my forearm with its tail leaving a nasty bruise.... It took stabbing it many times in the head (and ruining my cheap fillet knife), and cutting its throat (as you can see in the picture) to finally overcome it.
WOW! sounds like you had a great time...LOL. i could only wish i was there.
