“At the link the details emerge that also fishing from this beach was a guy who catches sharks. So you had a guy fishing for sharks in the water at the swimming beach. He hooked on. It got honked off and chomped some poor swimmer.”

Heard yesterday that the fishermen were chumming the waters to draw in sharks.

Great White is a bigoted name. Let’s rename them. How about “Redskins”?
