I’ve had encounters with our lions. They don’t really scare me.
But a fricken big ass shark no thank you.

 

[TRICER]

glad they are ok that’s a bitchen story!

Jon thought it was about 15 feet long. but Scripps measured the teeth and estimated it at 19 feet long.

Oh please it was no more than 13ft







I dropped in on one in the Palos verde trench at about 130'. Clench moment for sure

Saw it on the news tonight, Very cool John, special to me that I have met you and very cool, I won't comment on the proposed length as it takes science to do that but the bone's you recovered and your parteners research say much about what was in front of you.

That looks like a big shark!

I dove with my sister when she got certified at Shiprock....... Instructor and a bunch of us saw one swimming around just outside of full View.......I'll never forget that feeling.......butt cheeks a quivering!
I also did a cage dive at Guadalupe on the Condor which I regret now because one shark has learned to jump out of the water for fisherman on the rail.

They are a lot more common around SoCal then most people think

 

[TrapLine]

Quite a few of them around socal, get them as bycatch from time to time. Releasing a juvenile. That was caught right behind the break 20 yards from shore.

Try spearing a 200lb Mako in dirty water. Here is,a pic of an outing in the water while hunting yellow tail.

I’m hoping we see a lot more of them. At least till they get the sea lion population under control.
