After a day of spear fishing and lobster diving, a group of boaters got the scare of a lifetime when a shark jumped into their boat.

I just rent my Mojo and boat to those poor guys that still rely on a hook and line.

Only way to fish.

Bull shark? Sure it wasn’t a spinner shark? We have spinner sharks here and they leap out of the water on occasion.

It is not a bull shark. Looks like a blacktip. - Tom
