VIDEO: Fishing where sharks hunt

There certainly are risks attached to wading in the water when fishing.

I remember an angler losing a leg in Durban harbour back in 2002.

He was bitten by a shark, while fishing from a sandbank.

I remember also wading on sandbanks up at St Lucia on the KZN north coast.

Just a few days later I spotted a huge Zambezi shark cruising in the same spot where I had fished.

Today we share another close encounter in Florida in the USA.

It is not the biggest Zambezi, but even small ones can cause nasty damage.

American fishing legend, Captain Blair Wiggins, refers to the Zambezi as a Bull shark - the name they use for this species in the US.
