Just a "grade schooler" by White standards but still Very cool!

Very cool. Growing up in Ohio I never imagined living somewhere that I could catch a Great White.

Never been a huge beach guy I enjoy going for the food and sometimes even getting in the water but that officially just ended.....holy crap you imagine how bad that could get during spring break and it was hungry? ?? But it is pretty cool seeing one caught I will say in the Gulf.

I can pretty much guarantee you that at some point spring breakers have been in the water with a white and didnt know it. Someone didnt catch the first one to wander around on the coast. If you knew what was out there swimming around it would scare the crap out of you.

Sharks are like kittens most the time. Been diving for a while they wont get aggressive unless you have a dead fish on you....

Meh...

Papaw Troy keeps one in a fish bowl on his night stand.

Take a Helo ride over the Beach sometime. Will change your life.

done that and saw dozens of BIG sharks right among the swimmers....

Yeah that's why I get so aggravated at the "news" stories about "all" the sharks. They are there all the time! Morons!

My inlaws used to have a house on the intracoastal in orange beach and my dather inlaw swore that there weren't sharks in there. I would just laugh at him and tell him there was probably one right under the pier as we spoke.

I have lived near the coast for all of my 57 years and also own a condo on Navarre Beach. I fish the Gulf piers regularly and can tell you that there are sharks everywhere. My buddy, Roddy Pate, caught a 14'5" hammerhead off Navarre Pier in the late 70's. Ernie Polk caught a 10' mako off Navarre Pier last week! White sharks are very rare in our area so that is an amazing catch. The only other one I know of was caught by Elmo Horine at Navarre Pier in the late 60's. It weighed 247lbs.

A mako off the pier? SWEET! thats some fine eating right there!

Back in my younger beach going days I use to swim way the hell out to the sand bars on pcola beach. Had some rather large fish bump me a couple times and suddenly the water turned brown. That was my defense mechanism. Young dumb and full of......beer. I'm older and wiser now. Yall can have the beach.

I hate the tax man. He's part of the mix but I still hate them. He'll break your back, rod, jig and line.

Umm.... SAY WHAT???

You go and swim and don't worry about them. You don't not go in the woods in the summer because of snakes, you wouldn't not go on an elk hunt cause bears are in the area, I don't not swim in lakes cause there might be gators.

If you worry about things you can't control you'll die from exhaustion way before any of those scary things kill you

I like eggs.

Daddy always says you gotta die of something.

we used to shark fish off the jetties at Destin pass at night. before all the buildings went up. We caught some BIG sharks and lost some real monsters. We used huge shark hooks, like 8-10"s, 1/8" steel cable, 1/2 rope and still got broke off.....

younger brother and buddies went down there and would swim the whole bonita bait out by hand, drop it, and swim back to the jetties...AT NIGHT!!!!!!!

Tax man is another name for sharks because he is going to take part of what u catch. Man in the gray suit is another name.
