PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A 17-year-old surfer in New Jersey lost a chunk of
leg flesh in what is likely the state's first attack by a Great White shark
in 30 years, officials said on Wednesday.
New Jersey resident Ryan Horton was about 25 feet off the beach at Surf
City, Long Beach Island early on Sunday afternoon when he felt a sharp pain
in his ankle but didn't see what caused it. After paddling back to shore, he
was taken to a hospital, Surf City Police said in a statement.

Bob Schoelkopf, director of the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in
Brigantine, New Jersey said photos of the wound confirmed it could only have
been made by a Great White.

The last recorded shark attack in New Jersey was at Sandy Hook in 1975, the
year of the movie "Jaws," which terrified audiences with tales of Great
White attacks.

I haven't seen my copy for a number of years but as I remember it the
"Mclean's Encyclopedia of fishing" indicated that worlds highest
concentration of great whites are actually found off the N.J. coast.

A recent meeting of the Mass. Striped Bass Assoc. had a talk by a
charter Captain who specializes in sharks. Three commonly caught sharks
in Ma. is the porbeagle, great white, and blue. Again, If I remember
correctly, two of the three that hold the Mass. record are actually
larger then the IGFA record catches. They, of course, are not IGFA
records because, for one reason or another, they did not meet the IGFA
criteria.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water.

Browns Lake? Burlington, WI! I kept my boat there for a few years when
I lived in N. Illinois. We had a lot of fun on that little lake. I
even got to visit the Burlington Hospital one afternoon when my friend
mistook "get the slack out" for "hit it!" and the ski rope broke my
index finger.

The marina is now a house or two, or three. What is/was the name of the
bar/restaurant next door?

This thing is a blast to run around in - I can't believe I didn't get
one of these years ago.

What do you think this is, a boating NG? ;-)


I was beginning to wonder.

My dad and I spent many fun hours together fishing off a 16 foot aluminum
fishing boat. Lots of fond memories.


I guess you could say "my" very first boat was my Uncles 16 foot Lund
that he used to let me run around Brown's Lake near Racine, WI. When
we visited, that's where I headed straight from the car - start the
old Evinrude and spend the afternoon on the lake.


We are heading out at 5 pm today for an evening cruise and swim on our
friends 26 foot Lyman. With temperatures today expected to top out at 92 F
it will certainly be refreshing.


The weather has been hot and humid. We went from late Winter to
Hot/Humid Summer in one day.

Later,

Tom

You know, I thought I had - guess I didn't. All I have are the
publicity shots from Raytheon.

I'll take some in the morning and post them tomorrow afternoon.

What's even more interesting is that the official Mass state record
eclipses the IFGA record by a healthy amount if I remember correctly -
something like 300 lbs or thereabouts.

I wonder why the IFGA disallowed the record? Probably because it
wasn't an IFGA Charter Captain or member. :)

Good lord, that was 48 years ago - how the hell do I know? :)

As I remember it, it was a great little lake and some good fishing.

I especially like the custom stereo installation!

Pretty cool huh? :)

I've been thinking of installing a Jensen marine radio I have hanging
around here in the boat, but I can't quite figure out where to put it.

Thinking of the speakers: Are those corner benches in the stern full of
flotation stuff, or what?

Styrofoam. Chock a block full of styrofoam. As is the mid-ships
bench and the front half bench - styrofoam.

I was thinking of installing the radio in the middle bench, the two
1200 watt amps under the stern shelf and the 12 inch subwoofer under
the front bench with speakers along the gunwale.

What do you think?

Later,

Tom

I think in those famous movie words parphased. "We need a bigger battery".

Some strange rules. Friend of mine caught the largest sport caught Albacore
a few years ago. 90#'s. By himself in his Grady, that did have a transom
door, so he could get it in the boat. The tuna feather, had a standard
double hook, but since the shanks were not welded together, no record.

High tech huh?

In particular the mounting device. Very high tech. It stretches to
about 1/3 it's length, retains memory of it's original length, has
two, count 'em two, vinyl coated hooks on the ends.

Very high tech, very handy.
