One of the nuts in the recent shark tournament out of Oak Bluffs,
Martha's Vineyard had to be medi-vac'd to the hospital. They pulled a
mako into the cockpit and the shark just about took his knee cap off.

I only went shark fishing once, back in the early 1970s with a friend of
my father. When the captain was sure he wanted to keep the shark (for
meat), he let it swim a bit away from the boat, and put several shotgun
slugs into it. He'd apparently seen too many cabin windows turned into
crumbs by flailing tails.


This guy is a friend of mine and maintains a great website on New England
sharks. Good info.

If my son sees that site, I'll never hear the end of "We gotta go to Montauk
NOW!"

Speaking of teenagers, I just called him on his cell phone to remind him to
get a copy of his eye exam results to bring to his regular doctor later this
week. His response: "I can't talk now. My eyes are dilated".

Excuse me? :-)
