Thanks for posting, that guy was LUCKY  !!!

Yikes, just saw this on the interweb. It's that time of year...

Maybe this belongs somewhere else, but with our last minute dashes to get some Rockies, thought it should hit the boards if it has not already...

 I just heard on the News that a 20' GWS attacked a surfer at Marina....  clipped his arm and neck, he'll live...

bite out of the surfboard says 20 footer.... ouch 

also another big one was spotted off Capitola by helecopter.....

  Not a secret that it's " SharkTober...."  and the Landlord is home for a while.....   



   But use some smarts and definitely   DO NOT GOT OUT ALONE AND STAY TOGETHER!!!!!

So where exactly did they release that 20 ft. GWS from Monterey Bay again?

I believe the GWS released from MBA was only 4.5' long.

 

   It grew!

KSBW now says the shark was estimated to be 9 feet long. I'm a little surprised that a 9 footer would be pursuing full sized mammal prey (and so mistake a surfer) , but maybe this one was just an over achiever.

if it had been a 20 footer it would have been game over.

 
good ole KSBW....now they say it was a 15 foot shark

WOW! Quoted! The luckiest unlucky kid in the world!...So glad hes ok!
