Shark Attack in Jersey- Great White suspected
Just read about it on Drudge. Wow, first in a long time, maybe since that Stilwell boy was killed miles from the shore by a shark that took a creek inland back in '27 or so....

here is the full story...
Surfer was likely attacked by young great white

A Long Beach Island surfer lost a chunk of flesh from his leg in what experts said yesterday was very likely an attack by a young great white shark.
It would be the state's first shark attack in 30 years, and an ominous entree to tourist season on the Shore.

They think it may have also been a brown shark. Cardeer - the Gulf has way more nasty sharks than NJ. Bulls, lemons, blacktips, spinners, reefs, brown, tigers, hammerheads.

Ill agree with Barnes! Im putting my Money on a Hammerhead as the Culprit! Whites are getting a lot of Bad Press! Whatever Species it was, It was very unfortunate for it to happen to anyone. My Prayers go Out to the Loved One Lost!
