At first Quint asks if the shark is very smart or very dumb. But, once Quint is certain the shark went under the boat he states that the shark is very smart.
So, not just smart, but *very* smart.
Seems the advantages of being "under the boat" are rather limited. In fact, should the shark tangle the line around the propeller, that might limit the shark's ability to move and thereby "breathe".
I don't get it.
Is a big fish really "smart" for simply passing under a boat if it's hooked on a fishing line?
Seems to me, from the vantage point of the fish, it's just another cardinal direction, the boat being higher above and on the surface, out of the way. Plus the fish *is* being pulled toward the boat, at least initially. That's "very smart" to end up there?
