Fighting an octopus has got to be harrowing but this dude fucking deserves it, I mean really, why you jabbing one of nature's smartest animals with a stick?

Edit: people keep responding that this guy is hunting as if my question wasn't a rhetorical question that's really a statement of "don't just jab at octopodes with a sharp stick"

A Great Pacific Octopus is one of the few sea creatures that could kill a diver. This guy picked a fight with a wild animal that's fighting for its life.
