Hey there releaseit,
Yeah! I thought that was funny! The little shark is known to be moody and have a short temper![laugh][laugh]
He or she put 90 tiny tooth marks on the guys leg. After removing the shark from the guys leg, the poor thing died. What's with that?! Was the guy poisionous or.......?

He was called the Sculpin Man. I guess the guy had more poison than what the poor little shark could handle.

[size 2] I wonder if he stayed in the water if the shark would of just let go. He would of had to breath at some point.[/size]
[size 2] The diver is luck his blood in the water did not attract other bigger sharks that might of taken a bigger bite.[shocked][/size]

they do have plenty of Great Whites in Australia too. He could have called up a whole fleet of them.

They say a shark can smell 1 drop of blood up to a mile away! Luckily he got out of water fast enough.

[cool][blue][size 1]Those things are closely related to the "angel sharks" in California waters. I once witnessed a five foot angel shark apply the same munch technique on a diver's leg over at Catalina. [/size][/blue]
[blue][size 1]The guy had grabbed the bottom dwelling shark by the tail and it just twisted around and returned the favor. Only problem was, the teeth were long enough that they lacerated a major blood vessel in the leg and the guy just about bled out before they got him to Avalon medical treatment.[/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]I have both caught them on fishing tackle and shot them with spear guns...usually thinking I was shooting a halibut. They lay covered in the sand and all you see is the eyes...just like a big 'but.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Don't think I would like even a small one attached to my anatomy.[/size][/#0000ff]

[cool][blue][size 1]I'm not a big fan of the "reality" shows. But, I would have liked to see some dimbulb get what he deserved. Too bad you didn't get to see the serrated circumcision. Although that might be too much reality. OUCH. [/size][/blue]

It's nice to know that there are so many toothy species at Catalina. I am headed out there on Monday. Plan to do an all day adventure and return with as many of my own body parts as I can. Maybe even a fish or two.

Hey there TubeN2,
My buddy, who's on the Car......a commercial squid boat out there 'as we speak' said there are squid everywhere, not just Ben Weston, there might be some squid for the pier guys (maybe us) too. WSB and Yellows have been caught off the pier there.... as you well know.
Talk at ya when I know... or think I know.... or .....
