This one has a good picture:

To be fair, the 10 foot shark was caught on a drum line, the bigger shark was either asserting dominance or taking advantage of an easy meal.

Why, yes, I have. Not ten minutes ago he took my best apprentice diver on my first dive of the new hour. H2ogirl is on to something when she said Saturday mornings are chum times for researchers. I've probably lost more on this day than any other. Certainly in this time period.

Many, many, many moons ago, back in my Navy days, I was stationed on Diego Garcia. We fished in the lagoon all the time. One day, we caught a bull shark at about 6'. Hooked the line to a winch to pull the shark up out of the water to photograph (we had planned on releasing after pics taken). As the pics were being taken, a 22' hammer head came straight up and bit off the bull shark just behind the head, one bite, tail to head. Got the whole thing on film from before he broke water until he disappeared below.

We knew the hammer head was 22' because he was known to all in the lagoon as Hector and had cruised by the pier one day. The pilings were spaced 20' apart and when his head was at one, his tail extended 2 feet beyond the next piling.

sin...
Bet it is a great sequence. Any way to get that where we can see it? guess it would be a trick to move from film to the internet.

Catman(Mo). Regardless if it was caught up, look at the bite size. Wow!! like a dog eating its pup. Many attacks in that area over the last two years. One man has not even been recovered except for a piece of his wet suit. One shark reported in two different days on like attacks. ConfusedTheories Roll Eyes
