Had one bite me once - oh, wait - that was a woman I was dating at the time.

With due respect to Hall and Oates, she was a MANEATER.

I read on Facebook this morning that the Mote Marine Laboratory thinks the fish is actually a shortfin mako --> Fishermen confuse shortfin mako for great white shark. Is this the same story? Whichever it is...oh my goodness!

Edit: These are two different fish tales. My mistake - sorry!

Oops, you are correct. What I meant to say was Rare Sighting. It's not often we get to see one this big up close. And good point, it just seemed to be enjoying its swim! Maybe it was happy that it's spring.
