- synystar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+86Intoxicated fishermen are trustworthy in my experience. No need for pictures.
- dj_sea2005, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35“When I sobered up I thought about it and I said, ’I’m a bit of an idiot doing it’.”
replace the word shark with "not-so-attractive woman" and the word "wrestled" with "made love to" and you've got yourself a guys worst nightmare.
here, i'll do it for you, first paragraph:
A fisherman fueled by vodka caught a 4-foot not-so-attractive woman and made love to it onto a jetty on Australia’s south coast, suffering only small tear marks in his trousers, media reports said on Friday. - dongcha9, on 10/12/2007, -7/+41thats bad ass
- Berkana, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32True. Popeye can't match that.
Vodka > canned spinach - noseeme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27MAN:1
SHARKS: 47987 - Roger, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25I'd be more impressed if it was "Vodka-fueled shark eats 4-foot man".
- AlphAssassin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24God damn you Australians are crazy.
- Lixie, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23Get this man a television show! And lots of booze! We've found Irwin's replacement.

He's mastered the drunken master fighting style. - G-RaZoR, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15This article is worthless without pics...
We don't know what the shark looked like, what he looked like, and what kind of vodka it was... jeeze... - djhomeless, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Anything fueled by vodka is awesome in my book
- osc1882, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Well, he wins my Lumber Jack award.
- skyfire1, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13I don't think anyone would have the balls to do it sober - even to a four foot shark.
- jcaino, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10i certainly hope you aren't speaking from experience...
- insovietrussia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9For the record, nobody in Australia actually drinks Fosters. We can't buy it anywhere even if we wanted to drink it (which we don't).
- evilesttoast, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11How about Vodka fueled by Vodka? It's 200% alcohol.
- TonyCubed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Sharks are getting lazy.
- Akaji, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Ever? Not even close.
- 0firefly0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7*****... how many 1.3m sharks have you wrestled?
- Rohkd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Were you drunk?
- konno, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Yeah I know .... and you should see us sober .... hahahahaha :)
- mmm620, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5and who says alcohol isn't a performance enhancer!
- CaptShmo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6family guy jaws spoof:

- springah, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7damn straight.
- Walker2323, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I used to work at a fishing resort. When the fishermen would bring in their catch and clean them, this would attract dozens of 2-5 foot sharks. they would swim right near the surface and I would easily grab them by their tail and haul them out of the water. I even got on a fishing show doing it. So not that impressed by the story.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Haha, I love it when FG use that gay man's voice!
- Roger, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Sorry, the word "crickey" has been retired.
- MrTea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3IM A SHAAARK
- jknevitt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That's how we Aussies roll.
- Dr.Gonzo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That is the greatest title for an article I have ever seen.
- sideshowRAHEEM, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I prefer this one:
Quint: Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down to the pond and chasing bluegills and tommycocks. This shark, swallow you whole. No shakin', no tenderizin', down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing. - Broelke4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Suck my DIIIICK!!!
(who understands the reference?) - kansascowboy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5i think maddox is gonna have to add someone to his "Tribute to real men" page
http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=real_men - DrGonzo1184, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3No more posting about Maddox until that ***** updates his page.
- craterburnsu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I saw this on the news last night, Digg is being conventional Media? WTF
- greymaxcat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Ahhh. Vodka, is their anything it can't do....
- cyranthus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4you know how fisherman are with their fish tales.
- reiner15, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Dugg for title

What do you call a Royale with Cheese in America? - Soniti, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Without pictures, this story is useless.
~Soniti - LukusLuke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1he wasn't fueled by vodka...
- fiver22, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Alternate title: "Man (top predator of Earth) Attacks Four-Foot Fish For No Good Reason And Gets Nauseating Approval From Digg"
So long -And thanks for all the fish. - hozozco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It is high Summer in Australia - also known as 'the silly season' when it comes to news. A 1.3m Bronze Whaler is just not very dangerous. I grew up in Whyalla (not too far away) and did lots of spear fishing. My older brother would grab sharks this size by the tail, call out to me with 'shark'. This would get my immediately get my attention and call back 'Where?', he would then throw the shark in my direction...
I couldn't believe that this made the local news...I really can't believe it has made it to digg...I just signed up after months of lurking just to say how much I can't believe this...I'm not sure if I'm impressed or distressed! - 4UIDigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1WTF, the shark is a tiny baby-shark. Here's a picture of it posted by oxygen above:
http://www.news.com.au/common/imagedata/0,,5391216,00.jpg
Look at those teeth, those can't cause severe limb injuries like adult sharks can, at most they can bite off a finger. This dude is no hero for catching a baby shark, he just got so drunk that that poor shark started to look attractive to him. -
