“I shot it six times in the head with a spear and I wasn’t having much luck.”

Oh my goodness. From the Daily Mail:

Craig Clasen was hunting yellow fin tuna with fellow fisherman Cameron Kirkconnell, photographer D.J Struntz and film maker Ryan McInnis in the Gulf of Mexico when the encounter took place.

Photo and money quote after the jump.
