We're gonna need a bigger boat...

Enormous great white shark hauled up by Sea of Cortez fishermen

I know sharks very rarely attack people, but holy crap, 22 foot boat, 20 foot great white? Granted it was dead, but if I was going to fish there, knowing that there are sharks that size in the water, I wouldn't go out on anything less than 30 feet. Can you imagine the chaos if that shark had been ALIVE when they got their nets in?

That is nuts. An hour to tow it a few miles back to shore.

Cool story.

 

[croy]

a few hours to tow it a few miles isnt too bad, Ive spent 30 mins reeling in salmon 25 yards

Well that sucks. Beautiful fish that probably had a lot of life left in it. Now it will end up as someone's trinket and soup. oh well.

Sharks are tuff but Orcas are the real monsters. I saw a show on TV last night about Orcas that kill Great Whites. The guy on the show that witnessed one of these killings said the Orac went after the Great White brought it back up to the surface had it in his mouth and was showing to the people on the boat like a cat shows off a mouse he caught. And get this after that killing all the great white sharks in the area left.

Orcas are the thugs of the ocean. The scientists even gave the Orca a cool rapper nick name. They call this Orca - CA2 from the LA pod. Now does that sound gangster or what...

They're called KILLER whales for a reason. I just dont understand why people want to swim with them. Are you gonna go hang out with a killer liberal?

Larry the Cable Guy said the same thing... "Why swim with a Killer Whale? Would you take home a stripper named 'Syphillis'? "

Isn't the shark in the classic movie Jaws was supposed to be a 20 ft and 2000 lb monster, too? Yeah, you'd need a bigger boat.

Sharks are scared of dolphins as well! I guess a pod of dolphins will destroy a shark if given a chance.

so thats why they come after humans sometimes..... they just get so fed up with getting picked on by the rest of the class they take it out on the little new guy to the waters.....

The shark in the Jaws book was supposed to be 25 ft IIRC.

Bigger boat my butt! They need a bigger brain! Who needs to haul in a shark that big?
