No there were four guys on the boat from Canada....they were bottom fishing for snapper, grouper......they were five miles away from where they hooked the shark when they cut the hook. The captains dad said they caught the shark on an old 6/0 senator and a 30 year old star rod. I work for a company that sells commercial fishing gear, and believe it or not the commercial guys catch several white sharks every year......some as close as 10 miles from shore. I have not personally witnessed a white shark, but I have seen some huge Tiger,Hammers,and bulls when I spearfish here on the west coast of Florida. There are some really big fish around here.......with big teeth too. :mrgreen:
