Someone caught this momser off the coast of Nova Scotia.
Two questions -
-
What kind of whack-job goes and LOOKS for this kind of trouble?!? :eek:
-
Anyone up for a dip? C’mon, the water’s like 60 degrees!

Looks like we’re going to need a bigger boat.
I’m sad that they killed the shark. 
Actually, so was the dude on the boat who hooked ‘her’… and so was I…
My sentiments exactly.
sigh
I’m sad that I was doing something else that day. This is the first time I’ve ever even gotten to see pictures of the thing. I was not happy when I found out what I missed.
Oh, and whack jobs? Doesn’t everyone go shark fishing? 
Seeing as how one of my personal phobias is any animal that can actually EAT ME WHOLE, then I think the answer is no.
Are Great Whites not a protected species in Nova Scotia?
What a shame.
It wasn’t a white; it was a Mako. Whites are protected in both the US and Canada (IIRC)…
Whoa! That is a big Momser! 
I agree, it’s a shame they had to kill her. I guess things get a little bloodthirsty when you go shark fishing with your chums.
The crazy guy was the one who leaned over the boat to cut her throat, since she was thrashing quite a bit and throats tend to be in close proximity to the nasty pointy teeth.
shudder
Sharks absolutely fascinate me and have ever since I was a child. However, they absolutely terrify me and I’m nervous about swimming in oceans, even when I rationally know that I had a better chance of dying in a car crash on the way to the beach than I do of being killed by a shark. That doesn’t stop the small voice in the back of my mind from reminding me that there are monster fishes in the water that would EAT ME ALIVE, though…
I bet that shark can eat a whole poodle.
Please tell me this was intentional.
“Shark Fishing with your chums.”
Heh!
A “chum line”, or “chum” is in reference to the bait that is used to attract sharks to the surface and eventually a hook.
“Chum” can also be used to refer to a friend.
The pun is always intended. Thanks for noticing.
‘Chumming’ is also slang for vomiting overboard from seasickness.
Just thought I would add that!
Chumming sounded dirtier than it actually is.
Mako is tasty, and she has a lot of prime meat on her, the shame would be that she went to waste and was not turned into steaks…
I am sure the Profanisaurus would have more… um… interesting meanings.
Not that I looked it up.
Really.
Asshole.
