    I'm fascinated by these man eaters. I've also heard we have a couple of big Tiger Sharks that have been spotted off the coast of Ocean City, Md.

    I'm an avid collector of Carchardon Megalodon shark teeth {2}, that on found on the shore at Calvert Cliffs, Maryland; though I donated them to the Maryland Aquarium.

    We were down OC this past weekend into the start of the week.

    Went kayaking at Coastal Kayaks in Fenwick Island, which is on the bay side. My GF had just read an article on the way down about the tiger shark that was spotted in the bay, and she was freaking out about being on that little kayak in the bay. I told her over and over again that it isn't like jaws, and also that we were in pretty shallow waters for any kind of shark, let alone a big one. To no avail... she was pretty freaked. So I said to her when we got out, does this mean you won't be getting in the ocean? She gave me a puzzled look and said "No, why would that matter? The shark is in the bay!"

    It's all a matter of perception. :lol2:

    Looks like a repeated stalker and death threat, I would have filed a police report of the repeated attack and continued stalking. He repeatedly attacked you in your vehicle, then continued to assault and terrorize you. You are now afraid to go outside for fear of death and dismemberment since you have no idea where and when he, or his other gang members, could show up. Submit it for G&S for a carry permit. :D:D

    Sometimes white sharks mistake surfers floating for sea lions on the the surface of the water. Its okay, they just do a test bite and find out you are not a sea lion.

    A shark mouthing the outboard is actually quite common. Ichthyologists believe it has to do with low levels of DC current around the motor and the sacrificial zinc slugs on the transom. Sharks are curious and extremely sensitive to electrical pulses, and are possibly confused by a solid metal object that its senses indicate is a live animal of some kind.
