Sharks (part 2) ... or Bill has the Last Laugh

When Bill waded into the water today, they laughed at him. They mocked him. "Hey Bill, don't drown yourself." "Bill, watch out for sharks." Bwahahahahahahah.

And then this happened...

Bill Hetrick (65) of Benson, Minnesota, 86 miles west of St. Cloud, reeled in this Sandbar Shark, five feet in length, off the shoreline of Cape San Blas, Florida. A beautiful creature which he released after we got a few photographs for posterity. Shore fishing is a popular pastime here on the Forgotten Coast. I guess so!
