Visit Weekly Top Video and look for the white shark footage that is over 34 minutes long. You'll see what looks like a school of albies or bonito right on her tail; they seem to be mobbing her like sparrows mob a crow. They might be feeding on the small krill-like critters that are being disoriented by her large tail.

Let's go find white sharks and fish for "funny fish". I wonder how long you would be fighting an albie before the shark got interested???

Spence, you could be right, however the angle of sun was correct for that edge of the fin to be highlighted, especially if she was making a short turn. I know one thing for certain...there was at least one shark within a 10 minute swim of that colony of blubber-burgers.

Mike, if you want to raise some sharks near a boat, our friend T. suggested we cut some gray carpet in the shape of a seal and troll that around. Worked for the National Geo guys....

I posted a pic from a post a few months back (http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...ure-found.html) of one doing the sleeping thing. If you are able to ignore the needlefish sticking out of its face, and you'll see the triangle shape.

I'd attach it here but the system will not allow me to upload it again. What's up with that, John??

All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.
