.....lucky.......
When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap.

seems like there are a lot of them in the canal right now, going after the herring balls. We see them every week.

Sweet. All you need to do is add the "bum.. bum.. bum... bum.." shark music to your video. :)

testament to your mad video skillz. i also like the way you draped the camera's leash in front of the lens. very artistic.

Big Dogfish?
Great Video! :supz:
Best guestimate, how long was it? It's hard to figure out in the video. Looks almost too big to be a Dogfish, but then I see the spots.
