Remember the slogan: "Inquiring minds want to know"?

I at least want to know where that is.

I'm guessing that was a Big Tiger. You never know what lurks out there. The sharks are in close! If people really knew, They would never step foot in the water! This is their House!
Yes, I would use what was left for bait. Maybe that Leviathan is still Hungry! ;)

Must have been an effort to bring in the rest of it, I assume it would have sunk?

You can get this app for your phone that tracks a bunch of great whites around mostly the pacific  http://www.expeditionwhiteshark.com
My sister texted me from her holiday in Byron Bay to tell me how warm the water is and I pointed out how close she was to Australia shark 1. She didn't go in past her knees after that.

I assume that there are a lot of seals there to keep the great whites in close to shore.

Might need to consider using a bigger hook :)

Post by: Bunnlevel Sharker on November 23, 2013, 11:28:03 AM
I have hookups to the right sised hooks, if i was gonna use it i would use a cut off the back or the head and bridle the hooks in. Need a big yak or a jetski to get it out

There are always bigger fish in the sea  :o

If you're gonna rig baits like this, ya need to remember the importance of multiple stingers  ;)
And perhaps some 'bigger' circles.

BTW, that's not necessarily a shark bite -- a 20' Orca at 20 knots could have done that without even slowing down

Quints speech about the Indianapolis never ever gets old. I read this book about the sinking, incredible story.  http://www.amazon.com/Harms-Way-Indianapolis-Extraordinary-Survivors/dp/0805073663

I read a book many years ago about a survivor who became a marine biologist who studied sharks. His tale of being in the water are unbelievable. What he found native peoples doing with sharks, amazing.
