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....

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.

I live in SE Pa and have not been to the Atlantic sewer beach since 69. The Gulf of Mexico just spoiled me.

I heard on the news that it is exactly 30 years since the last shark attack there and, coincidentally, 30 years since Jaws was released. ;)

Whatever happened to that 10 foot shark that great white that was in a creek or bay last year somewhere in the northeast that they kept following and getting film footage of?

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!
