Some local guys just off Ft. Lauderdale... They caught it the hard way, when a good .45, or 12g, would have made it MUCH easier.

748-Pound Shark Caught Off S. Fla.
Caught On Video: Fishermen Capture Massive Shark

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- A massive shark was caught off the coast of Fort Lauderdale, and it was all captured on video.
A group of friends were fishing about 18 miles off the coast of Ft. Lauderdale Sunday when they stumbled across 10-foot-long, 750-pound shark feeding on a swordfish.
Jamie Bunn, who videotaped the event, watched as his three friends tried to capture the creature.
"I vividly remember the quote 'We might as well get this thing. Someone's dying today,'" Bunn told Local 10's Rob Schmitt Monday.
It took quite a while to capture the shark. The group tried using the dead swordfish to lure her close to the boat and capture her.
In the video, the struggle was made clear when one of the men screamed, "I'm afraid to lean over. If I fall over i'm dead."
In the end, the fishermen were successful in their attempt.
On a scale at the marina, the shark weighed in at 748 pounds.

That's not even a particularly large one! You should take a helicopter ride past the beaches. Bunch of people swimming and not 50 yards a way 10 or 12 sharks! I NEVER go in the water!
Here is a vid when they got too close and the beach was closed. They are ALWAYS there just a little farther out usually.

DAYUM!!!!!!!
I'm looking for a vid of a damn fool jet skier that rode right through the middle of a school off Clearwater beach. The news was taking aerial shots of the sharks and this dipstick and his girl friend ride into the middle, stop and start dipping their hands and feet in the water! They did not know the sharks were there. Then they noticed and high tailed it out of there.

Guns are a great idea. I was out in the Delaware Bay with a former friend on one of my few striper fishing trips. All of a sudden we ended up bringing a little baby to the boat- a five foot Mako. If we'd had a gun (he wouldn't allow any on his boat) we could have eaten the damn thing. Without the gun we ended up cutting the leader because it was just too dangerous to try to bring him in the boat.

I hear an M1 rifle and an oxygen tank work pretty good. ;D

Maybe in the movies! Not that I believe Mythbusters much but they did a pretty good job disproving that one!

Can the Aussie's keep a Remington 870 or equivalent with a big honkin slug? as an "attitude" adjustment???

Don't care about MythBusters. I saw a car that got rear ended with a Scuba tank in the trunk, it took the rear quarter panel off THEN went through the cement block wall of a building.

Out at San Onofre Nuclear Station, which is actually ON Camp Pendleton, they had an SCBA, same as a SCUBA except not for underwater use, fall out of the rack and go through several walls and ended up several hundred yards out in the desert before it stopped. Very dangerous but they don't blow up in fireball like depicted in the movie. I was working at the site at the time and it prompted an entire retraining for storage and handling of these bottles.

OH. no fire ball, not even a shattered tank, Just a steel projectile propelled by 20,000 PSI

The tank just shot round the room like a rat catcher. Left a lot of dings on the wall though.

Spinner sharks. These are the coolest fly fishing or light tackle fish going. Screw sail fish and tarpon. These things will take 50 yards at a run and jump 6 feet while doing a 360 spin (hence the name). I don't know how they taste since the fight is so much fun I want to release them so I can catch them again tomorow. Visit So. Fl. in thewinter and see for yourself.
