So much for swimming in Ocean Shores

Billy Mac aske that I post this for him!!

So much for swimming in Ocean Shores on the north side of Gray's Harbor... southwest of Seattle.




OCEAN SHORES ,WA

While the ocean vessel 'Dawn Raider' was commercial fishing for dogfish, this Great White was hooked in the mouth but only resisted slightly for 15 minutes before it came up alongside the boat to have a look; long enough for one of the crew members to slip a rope a round it's tail !!! 'And that's when the **** hit the fan!!. The Shark took off towing the 42 foot fishing boat backwards through the water at about 7 Knots. Just like in JAWS, the boat was taking on water over the stern and the crew watched in horror as the shark would actually jump completely out of the water at times. This went on for an hour before the shark finally drowned. She weighed in at 1035 LBS. It is suspected she followed a weak El Nino current into local waters in search of food. Although mid 60 degree water is considered ideal for these sharks, the larger ones can tolerate water in the low 50s.




NOTE: THE TAIL FIN IS THE SIZE OF A MAN!!!

I hate to see when a shark of that size is killed for no reason at all. It is illegal to keep then in the atlantic, it should be illegal over there too :-/

It is sad to see :-/ No reason to kill that fish, though I would love to hook one ;D
