The photo was caught by a local man who claims he didn't even realize he had captured the image of the shark Wednesday until he was looking at his photos that evening. Get this: local lifeguards tried to pass it off as a surfer, merely swimming back out on his board. Well...I'm no shark expert, but the one they consulted says this was probably a 10-12 foot Great White. The locals who were out in the water that day and learned about it later thought it was good publicity for the shark..proving that not all of them (indeed, few) are looking for human munchies just for something fun to do.
Score one for the sharks.
Have a good weekend...!

Yet another good reason not to put a bathing suit on and go into the water! LOL That's some picture. Yikes!
Holy cow, that is just too close for comfort! And, those lifeguards are crazy, that is no surfer.
Courtney...if I got out there in a bathing suit, it would scare the sharks away!
Kim: That's what I think. PS Since I did this posting, it was even featured on the CBS national news tonight. Who knew our little beach would hit the news...
Seeing that would make me wet my pants!!!!! OMGosh!!!!!
I'll stick to wading along the gulf shore!
I am always weary about water..I know now why. nervous just looking at the picture.
sure looks like a shark to me....scarry
That is a fantastic photo but...like said previously, too close for comfort!!
