It would be soooo fucking awesome if it WAS a shark that big... like MegalodonMayabird wrote:Ah, Photoshop.

There is no word harsh enough for this. No verbal edge sharp and cold enough to set forth the flaying needed. English is to young and the elder languages of the earth beyond me. ~Frigid

Not really. If that Megalodon didn't just break the line, it'd capsize the boat from just pulling; if I've got my estimate right that's a fairly generic, probably 30 to 40-foot-long charter boat. How the fuck would they even be able to get it onboard in the first place?Comrade Tortoise wrote:It would be soooo fucking awesome if it WAS a shark that big... like MegalodonMayabird wrote:Ah, Photoshop.

They wouldn't be able to take it back to port, and their photos would immediately be discounted as Photoshops, so what point in keeping it... Oh, and if they can't kill it, they're in for a loooooooong ride, as that thing pulls them all across the damn Atlantic.

not if it was already dead when they caught it. It sure doesn't look like it's putting up any fight at all.

Wanna bet? My uncle's a professional fisherman-- runs a boat very like the above, actually-- and one day he was cleanin' a little lemon shark, bout three feet long or so, a few hours dead. His hand got too close to the jaws, and it just about took off his thumb...

my stance on shark fishing is that it is destructive and almost evil... so I am not talking about the fishing, but rather the fact that it still exists and is a downright sexy animal.Elheru Aran wrote:Not really.

However, most people dont go fishing for great whites...

For the record, I had a online contact of mine believing (for a short while at least) that the picture was real...from a fishing trip on my family's part to boot!
He didn't quite believe me at first, but I had him going shortly after when I told him the picture was submitted to National Geographic, and that Canadian fish are known to be significantly larger than other worldly fish.
