He Fought Off a Shark With His Fishing Rod

A shark attacked him waist-deep off the New Zealand coast - so he fought it off with his fishing rod. In this classic extract from the Sportscafe TV show, Marc Ellis and the panel sit down with the fisherman who became the bait, and the story only gets better from there: what the doctors found, why he refused to stay in hospital, and the government's official advice for what to do when a shark has hold of you. Featuring Marc Ellis, Lana Coc-Kroft, Graham, and Eva the Bulgarian.
