I took a 12 hour fishing trip were I hunted sharks in the middle of night.
Sharks are amazing!  Did you catch a Great Lanternshark?
No I cut a cookie shark about 4.5 feet long, true story. Then we cooked it by the pier.
Oh a cookie shark! Isistius brasiliensis. A friend of mine has a model of one.
Nice! Yes I just love all kinds of sharks. My parents thought I was crazy when I got in one of those steel cages and dunk you in water.
Ah, shark cages, yeah.  They're expensive, but I guess they need to be built well.  Have you seen that video of the great white shark that opens a cage?
No but I have seen them get inside the cage somehow and they get freaked out and end up hurting a lot of people inside it.
Right.  That is scary, but that's what repellents are for.  I have heard they aren't 100% effective though.
Yes people misunderstand them. They usually attack by mistake and are not vicious.
That's partly true.  Sharks are very vision oriented, so my big pasty self, on a paddleboard, looks just like a chubby seal to them.  To sharks, I'm a food product.
