Introducing the second shark hooked by Parker in his short career as a Florida fisherman.
This is the first shark of the 2009 season. Parker hooked one in the Keys last summer. He was on the beach with friends yesterday when he hooked this beauty. Scary!
The shark is being held by his friend. If it was me, I’d have been posing with my prize. Maybe not actually holding it, but I’d have made sure I was in the picture with it. But, that’s just me.
They played with the shark for a while:
He took several long videos that were mostly wildly shaking camera shots that captured plenty of sand shots, a glimpse of the shark’s tail, and intermittent snips of his friend holding the shark.
The tide pools were large and deep so they let the shark swim in one of them. I actually have no idea how they finally got it back into the ocean but they did. Parker didn’t actually hold his shark; he was too busy playing photographer.
Lots of people have been snagging sharks on their fishing lines off the beach this week. We’ll be heading there for an end-of-the-school-year party in a little while.
Maybe I’ll have another Shark Tale for y’all later.
…wow!!! when people fish for sharks…i get out of the water. there's enough of me to be a really decent meal…the poor thing would not need to eat again for a month or so, so i get out so as not to tempt my shark buddies! we saw a really big one a couple of years back in gulf shores…i have never seen my husband so excited…not even the birth of his first got him going like that! lol, xo, mickey
I hate sharks! Even ones that are little and sort of cute. I always have…My sister used to chase me around with a shark book we had.
Very cool, Parker! Glad the waters are cold up here! I like my toes.
