Monster Shark Munches Great White
'Monster Shark' Chomps Into Great White
9:54am UK, Tuesday October 27, 2009
Huw Borland, Sky News Online
A giant shark that could be up to 20ft long has sent shockwaves across Australian beaches after a great white was nearly bitten in half.
A stunning picture shows a 10ft predator thrashing about with two massive chunks missing on either side of its body, off the Queensland coast.
Experts said its rival may be 20ft (about six metres) long, judging by the size of the huge bites.
The great white was savaged after it got snared on a drum line - a baited hook attached to a buoy - near North Stradbroke Island, east of Brisbane.
The wounded creature was still alive when a crew hauled it onto a boat, close to Deadman's Beach.
"It certainly opened up my eyes. I mean the shark that was caught is a substantial shark in itself," Queensland Fisheries' Jeff Krause told Australia's Daily Telegraph.
Swimmers have been warned to stay out of the water near the island.

Ya know, that line fits so many situations. It's the perfect movie line.

20ft. white shark wouldnt be suprising. With whites being protected and allowed to grow their entire lives, I expect 20 footers will be more common.

Ulaven sent me a link to that last night. Then told me "Don't read your email until the morning."
This is fucking terrifying. I still have to sleep tonight!
The ocean sucks. IT SUCKS. It's pretty and majestic and I'm never going in it again. EVER.

The shark was thrashing when they pulled it out of the water. Still alive. It'd be a hell of a hoax. |

If Reci were a puppy she'd be hidden and whining.. She doesn't like sharks anyway.
JAWS trauma.

That is just SO fucking wrong in so many ways!
That cut is so clean. Something...BIT...through...A GREAT WHITE...like a butter knife cuts through warm butter.
And it's...still...alive.
I'd try to hide under our bed, but it's all solid and there's no room. Damn. |

I take it you never watched this, then. 
Very good, minimal thriller. |

That was a decent thriller but I hate that they keep saying it's a true story. Nobody has a clue what happened to those people.

...so they say. How many witnesses were on the boat though? How many people saw Bigfoot? Yanno?
I mean, I HOPE there's a huge bastard out there like that. I think it's awesome for us to know that we are not the apex predator of the whole planet. I think we all need to hide and shake and whine once in a while. Move over. |

Thats why they say "based on true events". I was washed out from a rig in the LA gulf two summers ago and just bobbed around for 4 hours. All i could think of was that fuckin movie! Glad i was picked up before dark.

Well, what they actually say is "based on true events." Gives filmmakers enough wiggle room to throw in flying saucers in the Bermuda Triangle snatching Amelia Earhart out of the sky.

I tried. I just thought the pacing was too slow in the beginning and I lost interest.
This one's good - "Deep Blue Sea"

In the movie there's a bit that shows his severed leg twitching as it spirals down to the bottom of the tank. But I can't find it.
I watch shark movies. I watch Shark Week.

We're not the apex predator. There's a lot more virus and bacteria feeding on us than us OR sharks.
Big doesn't mean the best fed. |

Orcas are too cool. I've been to Sea World too many times to be afraid of them. Sure, they could slide right up on the beach and eat me if I'm walking along, they're cool that way.
I might not mind. |

Awww gee, you just gave me something new to be frightened of 
Jaws was the first movie my parents and I saw when we came back to the states from Germany. This Florida gal has been traumitized ever since.

They were truly amazing to see swim past us like that.
Truth is I don't think one has ever attacked a kayak. |

No worries, Gorgeous. They're pretty specialized predators. You don't look like a seal. Or a salmon, in case you're worried about the ones in the San Juans. |
