If you get bored change it, an avatar is good.

Hey Alan, nice new avatar. I can't remember what you had before?

You had close calls with sharks seeing you as food or attracted to your fish?

Some dogs should be killed. Usually it's the owner's fault for raising them bad. Other times it's genetics.

You can say that because you've never had a tiger shark try to eat you. That's not to say it doesn't happen. Roberto Reyes' friend has experienced it, so has Terry Maas, so has Ryan from SB, others didn't get off that easy. It happens in an instant, one moment you're "admiring" natures creation and the next you're being uncreated in it's stomach. Look at statistics, tiger sharks are man eaters, that's a fact. I don't care about the jaws. I do want it killed if it's around. I know a place where every ounce of it's flesh will be eaten. A shark that has the potential to do me harm due to it's inherent temperament traits, size, and location is my enemy. I think nothing of taking it out the same as the shark thinks nothing of killing another fish. The fact that in American culture it will be difficult to find someone who will eat it is an unfortunate but secondary matter. This doesn't mean that I advocate Mark the shark type of behavior. I'm respectful and serious about taking a life.

It is a basic instinct to fear and hate a dangerous shark. With the passage of time nothing happens and you get lulled into complacency about the animal. But it's an illusion and the hard reality is it only takes one experience to put things into perspective again, a very personal perspective.

I heard about this fish before but thought it was probably an urban legend. I just saw this program and it appears that it's true. This is a fish that lives in rivers in Brazil that will swim up a stream of urine and into a penis, lodging itself inside using sharp spines and eating the tissue. Moral of the story; when in Brazil don't piss in a river.

I read it, pretty condemning. However I'm glad that tiger shark is out of the water.

Quote from Rolo

he's a bit of a premadonna and is not well liked in many fishing circles.

Shouldn't we like him for cleaning up the water?

Mark "The Shark" has an interesting website, check out the photo section http://www.marktheshark.com/

Adrian, I'm going to have to get back to you on that. I got the pm too.

South Florida boat captain Mark "The Shark" Quartiano, a captain who has fished off Miami Beach for more than 30 years, has reeled in a whopper of a shark.

On board his charter boat, Striker-1, Quartiano caught a 1,200 pound, 14-foot long Tiger Shark Tuesday morning. The shark was caught in about 30-feet of water just off Key Biscayne.

He says it's the biggest Tiger Shark he has seen in all of his years of fishing off the South Florida coast.

The tiger shark is a predator and is considered one of the sharks most dangerous to humans. They are aggressive, large and often visit shallow reefs, harbors and canals.

They're also known for eating just about anything and are often called the "wastebasket of the sea". A tiger shark can be identified by its dark stripes, similar to a tiger pattern.

What brands that made spearguns do you have in your area? And which are the most populars?

Rob Allen, Rabitech, Aimrite, Spetton. Riffe is a very popular and good wood gun.

JBL is a very popular pipe gun but it is also a very poor quality gun, DON'T BUY.

So what's the final word on the snake? Can we get a species identification if it is a snake?

Why you stick it in your butt of course! <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Yep, as in; a piña colada is a fufu drink or mr. carbon is a fufu speargun.

Here's another one off the CD that I just love .... it's a bit more contemporary with a kind a Latin feel to it. An odd mix that works out.

It's track 17 , Dan. Can't get it to upload. #5 is also great . One thing my wife and I noticed about many of the songs is that if you were to remove the Tibetan throat singing....alot of it sounds very 'mountain' . By 'mountain' I mean hillbilly. She was raised in Northern Appalachia and I hail from the Ozarks. Ergo , both of us are hillbillys.

For example #4, if you ripped the whole CD, Dan.... sounds very much like an old lover's ballad I can remember my grandfather playing on the dulcimer to my Grandmother . Out of humility and perhaps male pride... I never heard it played while I was in the same room. Only after I ( and incidentally, my parents ) had gone off to bed. Only while he and Grandmother were still awake .

But #2 and #17 are two of my favs off the CD.

#4 is in keeping with the main theme set by #2 Edjin Duun which is the best and the one that caught my attention being the track from the eagle video. The other tracks are too contemporary for my taste.

Well that's a new one for me. Thanks.

Are you kidding me!? Please post a pic, a link or something. You sure it wasn't a moray eel?

ta' bueno, tiene ritmo

I believe that's keyskiller & crew.

Does gaze hound = sight hound? From your description and my past experience these dogs remind me of fighting dogs. They look to me like they'd behave as dead dogs up until the moment they start to do their thing which is to chase no? Truly a single purpose dog. How many dogs have you got at your place now Aaron? Do you have kennels? How many and which of your dogs are house dogs?
