Quint: ‘25 … three tons of ‘em …’
Isn’t this the 50 year anniversary of JAWS release ?
I agree with the shark’s living and “holiday” preferences based on season.
I think so.
Pretty sure I’m safe out here in the mountains, though.

Yes...there was a thread on FR on it just last week I think...:)
It was fun!
Jets man!
We need a bigger boat.
Atsa bigga fisha……
Lots of nasty liberals from Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill vacationing in that area of NC. Maybe the shark can move in closer and wipe some out.
Maybe it’s heading up to the Hamptons for a snack.
As a matter of fact, yes, it is.
He identifies as a Marlin.
Yes, 50th anniversary. I watched it last evening in honor of the impact it had on the population back then...also because I really like the movie.
A species that should be extinct
“The species spends the winter in warmer, southern waters, OCEARCH said. The sharks then head to “cooler, more prey-dense waters”
…retired?
It’s only the biggest one recorded by that group. Deep Blue is 20-ft.
“Isn’t this the 50 year anniversary of JAWS release ?”
Get ready for Shark Week. Hopefully this shark will come up on the beach at the Huma/Alex wedding and start eating people. Of course with the way it’s going, the shark will probably eat the illegal alien kitchen staff.
Who Tagged Him?
Folks, I was just poking around on YouTube, and came across THIS:
LINK: "He was kayaking...Then a Shark Jumped Out!"
Honestly, nearly anything I see on the Internet now, I take it to be fake by default, but...I don't think this is fake.
Listen to the breathing rate of the guy doing the videoing...and the dynamic of the waves with the movement of the kayak and the shark's body. It could be fake, but...I don't feel that it is.
I once saw a dead Great White Shark that had teeth and jaws at least as big as this, if not bigger. Back in the Eighties or Nineties, I had gone to Point Judith in Rhode Island with a few of my friends to go to a museum (it was a Naval Aviation museum, and they were reputed to have a real F-6F Hellcat there being restored, which I had never seen)
We ended up carousing and drinking with a bunch of other people, our door burst open and a guy came in saying excitedly "Hey, someone caught a huge Great White shark, and it is on the dock!"
We all leaped to our feet and followed the guy out the door, and as we got closer to the dock area, it was clear the word had gotten out, because you could see people walking in the same direction.
But when we got there there was no shark. Apparently, they had butchered it and towed the carcass back out to sea.
But there were the great, huge bloody jaws that had been cut out of the shark, white all over, covered with red shark blood, and circled by gleaming triangular bone-white serrated teeth.
If you do a tight steepling of both your hands in front of you, forefingers and thumbs touching, that was how big each tooth was.
I couldn't believe my eyes. The guy spread the jaws and let me stand in side them, and I can tell you, it was sobering. I wish I could have gotten a picture, but this was before the days of ubiquitous smart phone cameras, and none of us had a film-filled camera.
As we stood there excitedly talking about it, I looked over to see an Asian guy sitting on the curb, trying to sharpen a two-foot long knife by dragging it back and forth along the top of the curb stone, and next to him were two pectoral fins, each one longer than my outstretched arm!
