Just when you may have thought it safe to go back into the waters at odd hours, here is a report on a shark surf fisherman in Florida reeling in an estimated 540 lb, 10+ ft, 5-ft girth Mako shark from the beach in the panhandle region of Florida [NW coast on the Gulf of Mexico; cf Sportfishing article here], at night:

Food for thought, of course, on naively swimming with the geostrategic and spiritual sharks, as was discussed the other day, here at KF. END
