I'm pretty sure that would break the mental block I have about peeing in my wetsuit.

I think I'd be lucky if I ONLY peed . . .

Once the screaming subsided, I would first remove the animal and then look for some baby wipes and a change of clothes. Does the Coast Guard carry said items on thier aircraft/ watercraft?

I'm pretty sure I'd crap my pants. My first instinct would be "SHOOT IT!!" followed by "I'm getting the Eff off of this boat" then reevaluating the fact that I'm now in the water with potentially more great whites who have the upper hand in the water. Next I would try to climb in my boat (and in all probability, fail) then panic again. I foresee this happening until i either passed out or died of a heart attack =P

What are the size limits for great whites? Looks like a keeper. I bet it tastes just like chicken. Lol
