4. That is EXACTLY where I was going.

I think I met her at the Hole in the Wall on Harry Hines Blvd in Dallas a few years ago.

2. One ugly creature, indeed. Relative of Fred Thompson...perhaps? eom

3. Humans have really wreaked havoc

on the shark population. I wish people would stop hunting them.

[Submariner]

5. What an abomination to kill such a magnificent animal

just to hang it on a dock for entertainment value. This kind of thing happens way too often.

[TahitiNut]

9. I agree.

In over 100 open ocean dives, I dove with sharks more than 50% of the time. Everything from black tips and reef sharks to lemon sharks and some others not so close and identifiable. Pelagics are fascinating.

In all those dives, I never felt the slightest antipathy and animosity ... to the level I've encountered in MANY human endeavors. At the same time, I didn't try to climb into the food chain with the presumption I had a 'reserved' space at the top.

7. Yes...it's important to rid the oceans of marine life..

That should be a top priority.:crazy:

[flyarm]

8. don't worry your government is doing more damage to the marine life than

one fisherman!!

10's of thousands of fish, porpoise , manatee,grouper, all sorts of fish ..and shark were floating in our water dead last year..one needed a mask to protect ourselves from the stink and cough from the dead fish ...and it went on for 9 months!

oh and bushy was going to remove manatee from the endanger list if it hadn't been for many of us dems fighting to keep them on it!!

ask our government what they did to cause it!!

12. This is why I keep a .357 in my tackle box.

After seeing that picture, I'm thinking .44 mag now, maybe S&W .500.
