Phil and the shark.

This was meant to be posted awhile ago but heres the Phil Davis/Edward Holt shark story for your enjoyment:

If you've ever been to Wrightsville Beach you've seen Phil Davis, this following story is about him.

Phil, Evan, and I hopped on the boat for some spearfishing awhile back. We headed out to the jetty. Evan being the pro went ahead without us and left us spearfishing alone near the wall. This was Phil's first time so he had no idea what he was doing, So i would go into the holes and scare some fish out while phil waited on the outside to shoot them. An hour went by, no luck, and still haven't seen Evan. Just as phil and I were about to give up the biggest Sheepshead i've ever seen swam by. Phil chased after it and put a perfect shot straight through. Phil being so happy he wasn't paying attention to his surroundings. i was about 20 feet away so i can see everything around him. while trying to speak to me underwater a six foot shark swam within inches of his back. at this point he has no clue a rather large shark is behind him. while i was pointing behind him trying to tell him there is a shark he points thinks i'm pointing at his epic catch. he finally realizes what i'm doing and looks behind him. Phil turned around, dropped his spear, and swam towards me. the shark at that moment bit off everything besides the head and swam away, Phil rushed towards his catch of the century to find this:
^That Sheepshead's head is bigger than Phil's^

^Luckily Pro Evan caught these^

^Hes still happy^

Still not sure how to spell Phil, Phill, Phille, anyway hope you enjoyed...
