I have seen a lot of sharks this summer but I don't get the big deal over catching one at the beach

If people knew how many 6ft plus sharks were in the gulf or atlantic's murky waist deep waters, they would never set foot in the water....

I remember flying low level over the beaches at Jax and Va Beach.. the number of large dark shapes just outside the surf zone.. was mind boggling....

It shouldn't be a big deal..I know people that have a lot of money in set up for shark fishing off Galveston Beaches...why this one made the new is beyond me...

Maybe it was the Gay dude in the video and their way of covering the Supreme Court ruling ...

Find an aerial of the chandeleur islands, that's some serious shark infested water.

Porpoises.

I am scared to death of sharks and gators. I do not go in any water that I can't see the bottom. Therefore, I am limited to bathtubs and pools.

Saw two guys surf fishing at Rollover last year and a shark got ahold of one of their stringers with their specs and pulled them around!
Man they came out running.
Pretty funny. I won't use one of those baskets that float as a guy told me they can get their teeth caught in the mesh bottom and a bull shark pulled his buddy 150 yards out.

So a fisherman catches a 4 foot shark in the Gulf and it makes the news?

Texas is full of pussies.

Aren't sharks currently out of season in the GOM? 4ft is also undersized....

I do some occasional commercial diving in Chandeleur. 20 ft deep and 2 ft of viz. I know it's super sharky but I haven't seen one yet. Not sure if that's good or bad!
