Great White Attacks
Just watched an interesting documentary on Nat Geo Wild about the 4 mass great white attacks in recent years, one of which happened right off Manomet Point in Plymouth, which I can see from my upper windows and a beach we swim at frequently. Interesting to hear the two girls story and they are lucky all that GW tasted was fiberglass. One reason I bought my Kayak in yellow, not many seals have yellow belly's.
Ban seal hunting and eventually mother nature will provide the ample food source to bring them in close. Ironic that the movie Jaws was filmed locally and now those same beaches are being patrolled by GW's, making vacationers think twice about a swim off Ballaston Beach, where one of the attacks happened. Bad enough you can have seals stealing your stripers right off your line, now you have to worry about GW's doing the same thing.
I watched as a guide talks about reaching down to land a fish, while a GW is working it's way up the fish and he jokes; you might be interviewing the one handed captain today. I was thinking you might be interviewing captain dumb arse, I'm pretty sure I don't care what I caught, if a GW is chomping it's way up the rack; I'm cutting the line or letting go.
