Another Big Shark...
...caught offshore near here at Destin, FL last Saturday.
Shortfin Mako shark...11 feet long...900 pounds. Caught on 100 lb. test line. If you folks decide to come down here next summer and go to the beach, please bear in mind that you are sharing the ocean with some rather large carnivorous fish. 8) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/4.png |
Hey Steve,
Saw this on the local news here in Tampa last night. This is supposedly the biggest one ever caught in the Gulf. We had two guys down here in Tampa Bay a few weeks ago that caught a 660 lb. Mako near the shipping channel close to the Sunshine Skyway bridge. Must be something in the waterr????? Gimp |
Seeing that makes me think of those sailors in the water on the USS Indianapolis. A few of those puppies around me in the water - I think I'd loose it - and not just my body parts. Whew that guy is big!!

USS Indianapolis (CA-35) was a Portland-class heavy cruiser of the United States Navy. She holds a place in history due to the notorious circumstances of her demise, which was the worst single at-sea loss of life in the history of the U.S. Navy.
Most of the crew was lost to a combination of exposure, dehydration, and shark attacks as they waited for assistance while floating helplessly for several days. Indianapolis was the second to last US Navy ship sunk by enemy action in World War II (the submarine USS Bullhead was attacked by Japanese aircraft with depth charges and sunk on August 6, 1945). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Indianapolis_(CA-35) U.S.S. Indianapolis She bled the thick black oil as she raced to the bottom. Carrying those trapped in a merciless tomb. Hundreds bobbed in the sea, like floating seeds covered in the black blood of a murdered ship. They whirled inside the lightning bolts of fear. The wounded saying their goodbyes. And at dawn, death came swimming.... The sea closed her ears to the wails of young men; and her eyes to the red water that splashed with fins. Sailors watched, prayed, and died. Some finding the door of insanity, as they drank their fill of salty death drifting in the Pacific's injustice. How deep is the sea of suffering? Survivors have seen her bottom inside nightmares... eyes jolted open, on dry land. |
