    Are you serious? I guess you haven't been to FLA before. The shark population is doing just fine. In fact it is out of control. If you catch a fish in many locations you better get it on the boat ASAP or you will end up with a fish like this. It was a 5 foot kingfish

    Google it and decide for yourself. I'll start you off with this link... that is, unless you find the Discovery Channel to be an unreliable source:

    But I'll just shutup now, before I'm called a **** again... :rolleyes:

    BTW, one picture of a half eaten fish doesn't prove anything. :wink:

    Dude, if you call someone a "grammar ****" you're not calling them a ****. The same thing applies here. You have the sense of humor of a pile of rocks.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    The picture of the half eaten fish is the only one we could get a shot of. The rest that were on the line never made it to the surface. Also your link says nothing about what types of sharks are in danger. Trust me Black tips, nurse sharks and many others are no where near extinction, or even heading that way. If you actually studied up on the topic then you would realize that it is only certain species in certain areas. Ask anyone that fishes those waters.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    Actually, I have a great sense of humor. :tongue:

    Yes, I know all sharks aren't in danger. I was speaking more generically. It's everyone else who blew this out of proportion. I was just saying that I didn't find a joke about a practice such as shark finning funny. I tried to post a link that might get people thinking, but instead I was attacked. I'm done with this topic. I'll just get back to my speakers...

    I think calling me a **** is a bit harsh. I was just saying it wasn't funny, and provided a link that demonstrates the seriousness of the problem. But whatever, if you want to call me names for not laughing at an off-color joke about the possible extinction of several species, fine.

    Hehe, Buzz Killington. JK.

    I'm afraid of sharks. A few years ago I was swimming off the east coast and came upon a couple of sharks having a conversation. The sharks were looking towards the beach and all the people. The one shark said to the other one "You've gotta try them sometime. They're really good....chewy on the outside and crunchy on the inside"! Since then I totally avoid swimming where there can be sharks. :biggrin:

    That's a questionable philosophy. Do you avoid the woods because there's at least one animal that can eat you?

    Hell, in a more figurative sense, any two ton piece of steel hurtling down the highway could "eat you alive", do you avoid roads too?
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.
