Well he is tonight. Meet Phillip Kerkhof, 41, who jumped into shallow waters to chase the bronze whaler shark because it was eating bait that he and other fisherman were using off a jetty near Port Lincoln.

For those of you not familiar with sharks, bronze whalers are one of your more ferocious sharks. Phil jumped off the jetty and wrestled the shark after capturing it in his arms and managed to fling it up onto the jetty before killing it.

"He didn't think," his wife said. "He'd had a few vodkas and wasn't thinking straight. He just does things off impulse. He thought about it later and said, 'That was a bit dangerous, next time I think I should stick to beer.'"

Not only the man was eating shark. Chritine, his wife says "I cooked some of it up the night after. It was beautiful. Really tender. There's a few people around here who wouldn't mind trying it so it'll go pretty quick."
