Beaches closed yesterday...GW sighting

[mackenzie]

Last December I was in a jewelry store on the South Shore when a guy came in looking to have some GW teeth mounted for necklaces. They were the ones that fell out while drying the jaws. Claimed to have caught it off Chatham around Thanksgiving. Guess the endangered list did'nt hold much water with him.

I don't doubt that happened Mac, but I feel pretty comfortable saying nobody took home a white from Chatham last year, or any other recent year for that matter. I would not believe that until I saw it.

I was on the Vineyard with the family the week before the 4th and there was a seal body washed up just south of the lighthouse in Edgartown. Did not get close enough myself (smell was to bad) but a woman who's dog decided to roll in it, (what are dogs thinking when they do this), said it looked to only be half a seal!

Maybe with the shark tournament someone hooks a GW for proof although I know they fish 50-100 miles off the island.
