Two years ago there was a great white caught at Navarre Beach which is about 15 miles east of Pensacola Beach. https://youtu.be/DbbAFHXxatwLast year one was spotted by a spearfisher in Orange Beach AL which is about 20 miles west: https://youtu.be/uqnmlt6SQlAThey’re definitely there

No fences. They are around, as are the makos, feeding on the wreck donkeys that are spawning now. Always cool to see.

My son caught a Hammerhead that was just about 6 feet long and that was a rush. Can't imagine how it must have felt to battle and land that Great White! What an incredible experience!!

Crew on a gulf of mexico offshore supply boat adamant about seeing a group of killer whales offshore of Louisiana in the mid 1980's winter .
Knew a guy who got a bluefin tuna to the side of the boat Louisana - broke off but the whole crew saw it . Kooks . This was around 1998 1999 when it was a fact that there were no bluefins in the Gulf , later the gov't fish people said there were bluefins in the Gulf - they spawn there .
I saw a wolf in sw arkansas 1979 and a mountain lion in sw ohio 1979 when there absolutely were none there .
Lots of critters in places that people don't know about . The Gulf of Mexico is the only known spawning area of the Atlantic Bluefin. That's why commercial fishing is not allowed for them (by Americans). There is a pack of 250 or so Killer Whales out here.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

Woooo! Thays a catch!
Swam by the PCola pier many times. Saw a big bullshark caught off the pier one day. Seeing that big SOB kinda gave me pause after that, floating on your board wondering what was swimming around with you.
Made it a little more exciting.
There was a video a few years back of what looked like a big white shark shredding a seal at the mouth of the Columbia. There makos out here as well. We hooked a thresher last summer out of Westport.
All kinds of fun stuff in the oceans!

Get them down this way too. Luckily the crocs keep them away from around Darwin.
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

I see the guy's from Idaho. That would definitely be a change from our usual trout and crappies. Maybe he's a sturgeon fisherman here in Idaho. Bb

Kill 'em. Kill all of those sum'bitches. Skeered are ya? One only needs to be face to face with a 20’ sample while snorkeling to understand. SCUBA off San Clemente, late 80s. Dive buddy and I circled by a big curious White. Put our backs together basically and watched him check us out. It's not the ones you see you need to worry about.

Mike, I have heard that pod of killer whales has been back many times in the Gulf of Mexico off the Louisiana coast. I can't remember when, but it was some time in the past 10 years from a charter captain.

Thanks - interesting stuff ..
IMO there are wolves in many places that people think there aren't . Missourians say there are wolves in their state .
Years ago I saw wolf tracks in deep SW Idaho - spoke with a couple of old ranchers down there - they said there had always been wolves there .
I measured mileage to NE California from SW Idaho - little over 200 miles and said I'd bet there are wolves in California - several years later it's announced - breeding pairs of wolves in California .
OH yeah - I saw a wolf in Florida N of Panama City Beach about 8-9 years ago - eating on a dead boar hog a friend shot . I've coyote hunted for decades and didn't think it was anything but a wolf the second I saw it .[/quote]
200 miles is the travel circuit for wolf packs in interior AK.

They got the idea for the movie Jaws from a great white that swam up a creek in NJ not far from my home.Those bastards can do some damage.

Also account for more attacks on humans than any other shark.
