Woah, that looks like a big boy. What kind was it?
Salmon Shark?
I loved all things shark when I was a kid growing up on the beach. Apex predators are badass.
bycatch
unfortunate too, because they're long-lived with low fecundity, and may be an important cog in the big transmission
Ah yeah, I remember seeing the segment on those on Planet Earth or Sharkweek a while back. Cool sharks, they look like mini Great Whites.Quote:

Is this the Jaws of our generation?

"fecundity" is a word that should be used more here in the PR. That and "fructuous."Quote:

Maybe the shark got him?
Naw, the lithium batteries for the laser ignited and killed them both.
Jaws did a lot of that. I think he/she blew up in every iteration of the franchise.
