Im sure he saw the fin, and the fish was swimming towards him, but doubt it was attacking. It was probably more curious than anything as to what was floating in the water. Ive been wade fishing before and swimming and had smallish brown sharks investigate. There generally pretty harmless but I dont blame the guy for whcking it if got that close. The story seems a tad overblown however. Most shark attacks from below and had the fish wanted to bite him, he never would have it seen it coming.
