I was spooled by a seal in the upper bay in early spring 30 years ago //
I was in a skiff catching schoolies /when the guy I was fishing with /started to lift his schoolie in the boat// IN the upper bay
I shark went after it & split the side of the skiff..
I was anchored up ina discharge way up in Mt hope bay // with a stringer of blues over the stern/ I was foolish then /@$%^&$%^&* Blues..
when we sa w this fin comimg up current /nice & slow but steady/=he was heading right at the Blues / as he came close I picked up the stringer & he went right by ,never missing a stroke / it was brown & big to us at the time ...
I was fishing Gooseberry [close] for Tautog & Cod ] remember when ya could catch Cod in 15' of water ... I had two gentleman from Fall River with me & at the time we were bailing them // well I,m bring ina nice fish & Jhonny is hanging over the side with the net / the Tautog gets about 3,4 feet under the boat & this big ass shark grabs the Tautog // this guy Jhonny gets down on the floor of the boat & starts all kinds of screaming & pleading & anything else he could do --- but it was in Portuguese & I have no idea what he said / but I will tell ya he never got off the floor until we were back ay Westport & he never fished with me again -I,ll bet he never fished again
