That guy was a freakin badass, If he didn't kill em the chinese would. I just ate Sword fish lastweek,having Sea Bass tommorrow, and have some fresh Marlin for another day. Wish I caught them myself but my buddies dad caught and shipped it :). in forty years the Sea will be a baron place so catch and kill while you can. I think all who talk down on this guy should be fed to the sharks ! Stick to your tofu , maybe you'll be spared.

This guy probably killed or had a hand in killing over 1000 sharks...and he's a conservationist??? What a joke. He's nothing more than Mr.Macho showing off the big bad sharks he's killed.

Shark fishing in general is a joke they are scavangers and will eat pretty much everything and anything. The only sport shark fishing is for Mako's PERIOD.

Farewell and ado to you, Mr. Mundus. I loved the character. Sympathy to family and friends of "Quint" inspiration.
