Shark attacks at SPI today.

Everyone has a “smart” phone these days so that’s not happening. People are gonna records before they help.

Phone in one hand , beer in the other

Hope if I ever have something bad happen to me the bystanders have sense enough to not video my misfortune and post online. 🤦♂️

Ha!!!! It's to the point Instagram is a better source for homicide witnesses than just asking around. Not long ago Telemundo had a cell video of a shoot out. You could plainly see 25 or 30 people and half as many cars. When we got there the lot was near empty

I'm sorry, but your misfortune could be their 5 minutes of fame they so desperately need.

Good reminder to learn how to tie a proper tourniquet - might be the difference between life and death. Hope she recovers. We just got back from the island and caught a small black tip in the surf. Water was rough and brown for sure.

Bet she can get a job at IHOP

Might just.need to start killing/harvesting more sharks like the old days instead of releasing them.

My attempt at humor was an admittedly sophomoric attempt at gallows humor. I am sorry that you did not appreciate it, and that someone has obviously been pissing in your cheerios. I hope for the best possible outcome for all the victims (although OKRATTLER might take umbrage at that characterization of their status) and their families. It is absolutely tragic. I don't know how any of us put ourselves in the situations that we do, with lions, tigers, bears, and sharks (oh my!) without having a bit of macabre humor about it.
I do not wish to seek another forum, but I will say that your post is the most abrasive, and personal, I have seen here in a long time, (except maybe when somebody in a drought hopes for rain from a tropical disturbance and people on the coast get butt hurt about... I guess living on the coast? Maybe you're in the path of Beryl, (although nobody seems to know where that is right now) or maybe there is just the aforementioned **** in your cheerios), but nontheless I wish you a splendiferous day, huge hogs (unless you hate them), big bucks, and lots of birds, or fish, or whatever it is you pursue. May the road rise up to meet you.

I got the joke and chuckled. Some folks just don’t have a sense of humor unfortunately, especially in serious situations,

I can promise I'll be hop'n around for a while if something takes a bite out of my calf like eat'n a chicken leg...that was creepy. No idea what PT would be like but reckon it would suck.

With the whole world playing tiktok there is a very good chance of your drama going viral if it happens out in public...there is a whole spectrum of sm dedicated to peoples misfortunes.

Anything more than ankle deep your part of the food chain!

Be sure to post when something happens to your family, and I will be sure to make a joke about it.
It’s someone’s child. Forgive me if I don’t find jokes about it funny.

I was a kid trying to learn to surf when Billy Boomerang pulled a huge shark out from under us against the Jetties at SPI. They have always spooked me. I was at The garden island of Hawaii sitting on the beach fantasizing about selling the farm to live there, A local kid was putting on a show on his knee board when I got such a bad ominous feeling I retreated to my room, A shark bit his foot clean off and I watched it on the news. I know the odds are minimal but I’ve had enough of sharks & stingray’s for awhile with this event. Those videos of people swimming with them on purpose are bizzare. I was surf fishing in Mex on a sandbar and repeatedly had my line snapped. Finally a local told me I was casting into a school of sharks. Maybe he was messing with the gringo child but I retired for the day. Im spooked from lots of stuff like aerobatics with a bad pilot but besides that sharks and a rattling snake I didn’t see are at the top. Sorry I had a few celibratory adult beverages tonight. Be safe guys
