Bull Sharks Sink Boat Off Fla. Coast

Bull Sharks Sink Boat Off Fla. Coast POSTED: 9:27 am EST February 6, 2007 UPDATED: 11:42 pm EST February 6, 2007 FORT MYERS BEACH, Fla. -- A crew aboard a shrimping boat were rescued after a group of bull sharks rammed and bit the vessel until it eventually sank off the Florida coast, according to an Associated Press report. Captain Roger Schmall said a group of sharks had been slamming into the Christy Nichole's hull for four days. But then a 14-foot bull shark broke the boat's tail shaft, leaving Schmall and his crew of two adrift about 100 miles off the coast. Schmall radioed for help, and another vessel picked the crew up about two hours later. Schmall remained aboard his ship to pump water out while the other boat pulled it back to land. He said it was working for a couple of hours, but the waves eventually took their toll on Schmall's boat and the boat sank. Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.

Bull sharks are nasty critters, even more aggressive than Great Whites. They've been caught well upstream in several rivers around the world, which means they adapt quickly from a salt to a fresh environment. Can you imagine if they got into the Great Lakes?

The Skipper put up with this for Four Days? How stupid can you get? First you take the sharks food, then you tourment them for days? Hey, even sharks have to eat!
