Thats the stupidest excuse for a story I've ever seen. Its quite
obvious by seeing the bait chunk in his hand that its a set-up shot,
and a set-up story.
If you believe that...I got a boat for ya' "slight" water
damage.......
According to the presentation, the story was published in a French
magazine, "Le magazine des voyages de peche" (56th edition).

It *is* conceivable that the bait chunk was used to lure the shark for
the photo session for the article.
I didn't include all the pictures.

I can't confirm or deny. Just reporting the news.

It still was some great photos.
Here is a link showing the powerpoint presentation. While it is a hoax,
whoever started it is very creative.

The link is as valid as the story? :-)
Are you a Google user?

Nope, and no link. Or is the link simply a "hoax"?

My daughter-in-law sent me a PowerPoint presentation about this guy. I
checked with Snopes and apparently, it's true. His story, as published in
a French magazine, goes as follows:

--------------------------------
Arnold Pointer, a professional fisherman from south of Australia saved a 17
foot White Shark from certain death by freeing it after getting caught in
his fishing net. He now claims that it's been two years and the shark will
not leave him alone. She follows him everywhere when fishing, scaring all
the fish away.

He says, "Once I stop the boat she comes to me, turns on her back and lets
me pet her belly and neck. She grunts, turns her eyes and moves her fins up
and down, hitting the water happily".

---------------------------------

I took a few screen captures of the presentation and put them on a page on
my website. They may be viewed here, for those interested:

Yea, Timothy Treadwell thought he was "at one" with those grizzly bears...

Till they decided they were hungry one day.

I can see that shark thinking, "...a little further. Lean out a little
further..."

My kid was going to get a snake and my bud had snakes for decades told
her "A snake will never be your friend or pet, it is just a snake, you
are just food. Even if the snake is being what you consider friendly,
it is thinking about eating you". My daughter trusts Jimi enough that
she decided not to get the snake... went for a pair of kittens instead
and no man should even try to imagine what they are thinking
