See: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lano...o-injury-.html

Diver said it was a 7-gill "playing" with his leg.

The shark was aggressive and the diver had a Calico hooked to his belt. The good news is he was unharmed except for his wetsuit.

Sharks in LJ? say it aint so...











One night last year... Most sharks just seem to have a look then go on their way... but a sevengill was bumping my kayak, followed me for a couple moves then finally lost interest...

A couple weeks latter another seven gill slid his head up onto my lap...
but again after a couple moves he lost interest...


But I'm sure if someone came into your house and was trying to raid your pantry... you wouldn't hesitate giving them a couple bumps... maybe even a gentle nibble

Shu-shu-shu-SHARKS?!?!?

Ask any experienced speardiver in san diego... you'd be hard pressed to find one who HASN'T been harrassed by a stinky old sevengill. The guy's friend stuck it with a JBL .38 special and a floatline, both of which are allegedly still attached to the shark.

Shooting calicos is FUN!
