Gods honest truth.  I was about 4 and was staying with my grandparents out at Montalk Point, Long Island (New York)  I was playing in about 1 foot of water when I saw what appeared to be an over turned rowboat out in about 25 feat of water.  My grandfather came running down the beach and scooped me up and ran me back to the cabin.  I found out later he had heard a warning on the radio that there was a dying great white seen around the Montalk area.  It had followed a fishing boat back but was badly injured and was just sort of swimming around the area.  My grandfather told me that row boat was in fact a shark. Bless my little adventurous heart but I was down at the beach the next morning with corn flakes looking for the shark to give him breakfast.

ONCE I WAS FISHING OF THE DOCK IN FLORIDA AND I FELT A STRONG TUG ON THE LINE AND THOUGHT. TO MYSELF IT'S PROBABLY ANOTHER PUFFER. AS I STARTED TO BACK IN I SAW THE SILHOUETTE OF A SHARK. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF THAT CAN'T BE MY LINE HE MUST BE COMING TO BET A BITE OF SOMEONE FISH. BUT AS I WAS REELING IT IN I SEEN THE SHARK MOVE AWAY IT WAS THEN I FELT THE TUG. I SAID TO MYSELF"HERE WE GO". I BRACED MY FEET AGAINST THE POLE. I WONDERED IF MY SPIDER LINE WAS GOING TO BREAK 50 LBS TEST LINE. I GAVE HIM SOME SLACK AND HE RAN AND BOY COULD HE RUN. THE FIGHT WENT FOR A GOOD HOUR TO GET HIM CLOSE. I COULD SEE HIS DORSAL FIN AFTER A WHILE. I GOT EXCITED AS HE GOT CLOSER. I BRINGING HIM IN I SAID TO MYSELF. HE WAS TIRED FROM THE FIGHT OR SO I THOUGHT. I REACHED DOWN TO PULL HIM UP AND WITH FINAL BURST OF ENERGY HE JUMPED UP AND GOT HOLD OF MY HAND. I TOOK MY HAND OUT AND RAN TO THE FIRST AID KIT HE TOOK MY THUMB, INDEX, RING FINGER AND PINKY. ALL I COULD DO STARE AT MY MIDDLE FINGER AND SO COULD YOU.

I've never even found a ship - I've always looked on land.\n\nThe odds against mst be high, but it would be wonderful if we found a whale or shark.  You can see cars so you ought to be able to see them if they were on the surface.  I don't think you'd be able to see just a shark's fin though.\n\nintel_knight has a point, though.  Different places on land do have different degrees of resolution and they won't have put as much emphasis on the sea.  Maybe if you look near the coast in places where you know there are a lot of whales?

The megamouth shark was discovered in the 1970's. It's a fliter-feeder like the basking shark but in deeper waters. It's a black shark and pretty big.\n\nThe port jackson shark and the goblin shark I believe are newer than most. The goblin shark has like a horn coming out of his snout like a swordfish. These sharks are also quite large as far as sharks go anything over 6 feet is generally "big" since the majority of species of sharks are under 6 feet.\n\nThere are about 350 known species but scientists estimate there are about 550 species out there with 200 to go.

Hmmm... ok - fishing boats out at sea, say a couple of miles out, only experience a sudden smooth rising of the sea, like a sudden high tide, which sinks down again with no white surf or white water. Only as the wave APPROACHES the shore and shallower areas does the wave "break" and produce the white-water cliff face which does all the damage.\n\nSo - the wave is only really visible when it breaks on the approach to the shore with white water. Further out it is just natural "sea" color.\n\nDC :-)

1st off the sharks are always there you may not see them but they are there I have been surfing manytimes and had a shark swim right by me fishing with live bait is not going to attract sharks un less its bigger and a very bloody bait they are attracted to large fish and bloody meat not little shrimp and shinners which is what wade fisherman use along with shrimp and such you are more likely to get worried if someone is using chicken to catch crabs then anything and then you are looking at a thigh not a whole chicken the blood could attract them but not likely I have doen it many times and not a single shark bite on my line

The two-ton shark arrives so fast that there is little a person can do to swim away!\n\nA guy called McCosker and his co-researchers say they have interviewed every single living shark attack victim in the West Coast. \n\n"None of the living victims ever saw the shark in advance," he said. "It all happens too fast." \n\nBesides that, believe it or not:\n\nMore people get killed by falling coconuts than by shark attacks.\n\nAlltogether there are only 106 known attacks on the WHOLE West Coast!!!! \nThe only recorded shark attack in San Francisco was on May 7, 1959, when college student Albert Kogler was bitten twice -- and died -- while swimming off Baker Beach.

The possibility does exist, yes... however, unless you do something (other than posting a question/comment on this silly forum), the credible chances of you finding him are slim.\n\nThere are other fish in the ocean, sweety... go fishin'!

yes, there is a home i saw in a nearby town, out in the pasture with a couple of horses was a zebra. looked strange seeing one outside a zoo, but they all looked content.

The biggest Great White ever caught was a female of 6.4 meters, which was caught off Cuba in 1945. It weighed 3312 kilos and its girth reached 4.5 meters; several lorries were needed to tow and transport it. A 10 meter specimen is also said to have been captured, but neither photo nor expert account exists, only subjective statements. The record specimen are always female, since in the sharks, females have larger measurements than males.

The largest crocodile ever recorded was a 29 foot saltwater crocodile near Australia. It weighed 2,400 pounds. Great white sharks also feed off the coast of Australia. The largest one of those was I believe 26 feet and over 6,000 pounds. They did this one on a show called "Animal Faceoff" on the discovery channel many months ago and the shark did win. I think the show has since been cancelled. Shark, all the way.
