DID ANY 1 SEE

a current affair on thurs.7/3/07....there was a bloke who jumped into the water with massive whale shark to cut off some 100mm rope that was wrapped around this graceful animal...he was at it for 40min , used 4 knives and had it all caught on film...the shark just sat there and let him do it....and when he had finished the shark swam off raising its tail out of the water as if to say thank you to the bloke.....he was 30 k's off the coast of the gong(sth coast of sydney) and i watched in awe....absolutely awesome i thought......

Apparently they reacon it didnt care much because it had been tangled for hours and could swim properly! The w.shark would have died soon if it wasnt set free. Pretty awsome footage though. Take me hat off to the bloke, there awsome animals and we need to look after them.

Keep it tight, reeeeeeel tight!
