Who’s Scared of the big ole Maco Shark?

October 17th, 2007

I’m scared, that is for sure.

I’ve been a surfer, boater, swimmer, diver my whole life. I’ve swam in the oceans on virtually every continent, and there hasn’t been one time that I didn’t say a little prayer under my breath to protect me from these damn sharks.

They are everywhere around Florida. Rarely do I see a big one, but I see them almost every week.

Trained, cold, killers who no nothing more than to just rip and tear and swallow. No regard for your life, your friends, your arms and legs.

Now this guy catches a 800 pounder off the coast near my home. Sure, it was out in deep water. Sure I have a better chance of getting hit by lightning.

It doesn’t help with the fear.

I think I can honestly say, Sharks are the only things that really scare me - and with good reason.

They will hunt you down, chase you, and bite with the intent to kill. And there’s not a dang thing you’ll be able to do about it.

So, hats off to the good old Florida boys who hauled this one in and killed it. One less sea monster I have to worry about today.
