Wading with sharks

[El Pistolero]

A buddy of mine was all upset last week when a shark decided to take half of one of his fish.

I told him to quit bitchin...ten percent is a fair tribute to pay.

He should be grateful that the shark didn't decide to take half of something else.

Damn...never thought of that. Now I'll never be able to take a leak in the water again.

Worse than that happened to me when I was 16 yrs. old. I was wade fishing in the surf. Had a really nice stringer of speckeled trout tied around my waste. I felt this tug on my stringer and I jerked back because it was tightening around my waste. Well this 5' shark decides he wants my fish more than me and grabs ahold. When I pulled back he starts spinning and wraps up in my stringer. I got loose from the stringer and out of the water looking like Buckwheat in the haunted house. It took me a while before I could wade the surf again.

Bugger that,

No sharks in Southport or Blackpool. The only Life there is the Microbastard sort!

Looking back tho...it's a real rush when that happens, isn't it. I mean, after you clean your pants out and all.

I guess it would be, if it's only the fish they get!

I was a teenager when I lived at the Jersey shore. We used to catch 4-6' sand sharks by hand just to play with them.

Yes little sand shark (Atlantic Sharpnose) are tame creatures compared to the black tip and bull sharks that take our stringers down here.

Yeah, but we don't taste the same.....
