Swimmer eaten by large Tiger Shark in Egypt. This is bad.

When we as a family went snorkeling at Loos Key in the keys seeing the reef sharks and being in the water with them was a first for me.

Thought it might be something we could get a parenting fail on.

Little did I realize I was more concerned when the Goliath Groupers showed up to use the pontoon boat for shade.

If one had of inhaled to sneeze it would have easily had one of my kids being the new Jonah in the whale. Those things were huge.

No Ef'g way I'd ever go diving, especially at night, without a boomstick, anymore than I'd go in downtown detroit or in grizzly country unarmed.

Sad that the family bore witness to it.

Reminded of that string of shark attacks at Sharmel-Sheikh a few years back-took what 3 attacks in two days for them to consider closing the beach? And then they just went on a random "lets kills any and all large shark we find" binge, just to re-open the beaches and get more attacks. Five attacks in five days.

Edit: Two women were killed in attacks in same area as this one last year too, they call it the "dream beach". If your dream is a Jaws nightmare.

Sharks are assholes, especially bulls. I'd rather go on a helicopter shark hunt along a coastline than a helicopter hog hunt.

Thats one specie of fish I wish the Japs would overfish to extinction.

There are good reasons to go to Griz country, just go armed.

There is NO reason, good or otherwise to go to Detroit. I drove through there 50 years ago and it was scary, cant imagine what its like today.

This fucker ate my pinfish in 189' of water and then just laid down on the bottom. Getting him up and moving for a fight was a chore.
Oh how I wished I had a conventional reel with a low gear instead of a big spinning reel.

This pic shows the shark about 20-30' down in the water. Not a great picture, but I was a little busy trying to control it.

For those that hate sharks, go fishing for them and like pointed out above, you'll see that they gotta eat too.

We catch a lot of bonnethead sharks in Tampa Bay. They only get to a max of 4'. When you pick them up by the back of the head, they literally begin shaking like a Yorkie. For sure, sharks aren't mindless eaters. They are full blown predators.

So if a Jewfish can inhale a 4' shark like that, it could plausibley inhale a human.

I knew an old biker that used to be a commercial diver welder that worked underwater on oil rigs. He said he would be welding and spidey sense would tell him he wasn't alone and turning around there would be Jewfish the size of a Volkswagon right behind him just watching.

He said they used to burn them on the nose with their torches.

I’m at Long Beach, Rockport every weekend the weather cooperates.

I’m guessing anytime I’ve been in the ocean there is a shark of some species within two hundred yards.

Cape is getting scary when we go down there.

We have found a new beach we go to using a water taxi. Absolutely abandoned but the water is incredibly sharky…

They are very curious critters. I don't personally know of anyone that's been injured by a Goliath. If they are 300+# they aren't afraid of humans and like you mentioned, they will swim right up to someone under water.
I suppose one that's 6.5' or larger could inhale a small human, but I don't think they look at us as food. Instead I think they wonder what the hell we are.

Lots of people wreck and bridge dive around here. Plenty of people say they have had them swim right up to them. Some have said they will steal your catch from spearfishing.

I know I've lost plenty of snapper and grouper to them. You can tell the difference between them and when a shark steals your fish.
A Goliath will take the fish and fray a lot of your leader. A shark will usually bite off right behind the head.

This is assuming you see the shark first. That's the spooky part about being under water at night. You can't hear anything so you are constantly looking around. Look to the left, look to the right. Look back to the left...BAM!!! THERE IS A SHARK in your face!

Some of the scariest stuff I've done is snorkeling off of a reef on Guam at night. All you can see is the light beam circle where you aim it. I was relieved when the local I was with wanted to quit and go home. I caught a few octopus but he got nothing. Found out later that a week before there had been a shark attack at that same reef.

I was a lot younger and even dumber then.

Get the fuck out of the Bear Pit if you're going to be a little bitch about it. We bash on everyone here and laugh at all Darwin Award recipients, including all those who may have had family members who have died or been killed in the same manner.

OD on drugs? We're going to laugh and say they deserved it by their own hand. Rob a store and get beaten to death for doing it? We're going to laugh and say they didn't stretch out the beating long enough. Get eaten by a shark? We are going to replay that video ten times with the last eight on mute so we don't have to keep listening to the annoying whore's commentary.

The only horrific death we don't laugh about is the horrific death of our Republic, even if it's our own society's Darwinistic degradative evolution that's causing it.

I don't have a problem with scum getting their just desert, however, other matters comment how you want and so will I.

So if anything bad happens to your family or friends be sure to post about it so that others can make a joke about it, karma is a bitch!

If you've paid attention for the last thirteen years, I've posted plenty on this forum about bad shit happening around me for people to learn from and, if so inclined, to laugh about. Suicide bombers, car accidents, suicides, substance abuse, bad marriages, shitty kids... I've been putting far more than my own fair share of shit out for the Pit to roast for a long damn time.

Karma doesn't exist. Bad decisions from lack of information or thought process do. I try to give advice to others to avoid those same bad decisions because life is too short and painful to only learn from your own, and I do my best to learn from others who post the same. I also dish out what I expect in return because I know what the Bear Pit is, and I would be disappointed in anything less than enlisted barracks or seedy barroom behavior.

And it's "just dessert", a just desert is just Nevada, albeit a common Top 5 contributor to Darwin Awards.

In the Red Sea, you might be able to get the half and half combo. Jump off a burning yact and get eaten by a shark.

Karma does exist.

What karma is is the results of your actions returning to you. Sometimes those returns are are instant, sometimes they take time and snowball into a lot more than the original action.

Planting an apple seed reaps apples.-Sowing and reaping
Throwing a rock in a pond creates ripples that go out and return.-Action and reaction.

The thing is people freak out for no reason IMO.

Especially if you are around people that know what to do it removes a lot of the risk. Also you can know instantly if that's a reef shark or a tiger shark if you have an experienced person with you.

Also people don't know what they do on land directly impacts what happens in the water. For example if a dead whale or something washes up on shore, the places that manage it have way less problems.

Also location matters a lot. If there is a river flowing into the ocean that's one place you need to stay away from if possible. Anything that washes down into the ocean is basically shark food. Also stay away from murky water and definitely don't go out on a cloudy night.

Many sharks will ambush their prey. The prey know this. On a bright day or a full moon the prey will see the shadows and get away. On an overcast or cloudy night sharks are out in full force.

In these 3rd world places, they might keep the resort nice, but a half a mile up the beach there is no telling what is out there.

In places like Hawaii if a whale washes up, it doesn't matter if it's 3am. The local work crews will be out there cutting it up and hauling it off. If they don't it will be six months before you could safely get in the water at that spot.
