According to the Global Shark Attack File, in 1955 George Lawson had his right leg bitten off by a bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas) while swimming in Lake Michigan near Chicago. The attack was unprovoked and by surprise. The incident log does not mention any other attacks from Lake Michigan, so it appears the [...]
If writing this blog has taught me one thing it is that sharks capture peoples imagination - especially big sharks like the great white shark. I thought I would use a lazy Friday afternoon to post a couple of my favorite shark attack videos. Just to be clear though, these videos are of sharks attacking fish, not people (it is a fishing blog after all and I don't really think anyone wants to watch

My story is about a teen that survived a shark attack.I like to write about Great White Sharks all the time.Can you believe that a teen survived a shark attack?The teen was a college student.He must have felt hurt after the shark attack.Why did the teen survive?

Many travelers harbor irrational fears that affect their journeys and the risks they take. For travelers with a penchant for diving, many fear sharks. In our dive class, our instructors and divemasters underscored how unlikely it is that we’d ever be the victim of a shark attack.
Feeling a bit curious today, I decided to find out just how unlikely. Finding worldwide shark attack statistics was easy, however the only comprehensive list of “cause of death” stats I could find were from 2003 and specific to the United States.

As readers know who read my posts often, the beach I most often hang-out at is Keawakapu Beach in South Maui. And it's this long beach that's been the beach with frequent shark attacks this year! The beaches have been closed because of this attack from Kalama Park all the way to the Grand Wailea Resort. Another one happened yesterday, and I heard about it right away when the phone calls came in! Here's the May 8th article about it in the Maui News with the headline "Shark bump, then bite, shut down beaches."Apparently the woman was snorkeling when she got bit by what is thought to be a tiger shark. She survived and was taken to the hospital. I haven't heard any more news about her condition.So today I was driving down South Kihei Road, and I watched a police car (sirens blaring) speed past me, and then a bit later, I saw a lifeguard truck with sirens heading in the same direction. I shivered wondering if there was yet another shark attack!What is going on? This news doesn't make
I just put up a post praising the stupid things college students do, myself included. I explained how I wrote up an extensive summary of the CBS Made-For-TV movie, Spring Break Shark Attack. It was released in 2005, after extensive promotion during CBS's March Madness coverage. The movie stars Shannon Lucio, 3 episode star of The OC, and a lot of dorsal fins. It's is as amazingly terrible as
