Is it the one where Peter North gives Savannah the 10 gallons of glaze?

Unfortunately...no. It's the one where three guys stare into the ocean for five minutes, a fish jumps six times, then they reel in a fish head. Just riveting stuff. I'm not sure what journalistic awards are available for youtube vids...but this one has Nobel/Pulitzer/Oscar written all over it.

I've ocean fished plenty. I understand just fine. I still don't want to watch five minutes of some dude fishing. You posted the video as an example for SHARK WEEK, not skill and patience of ocean fishing: you probably wouldn't understand week. Had you went with the latter, I could have just dinged you and moved on instead of wasting my time.

Am I the only person who's never understood the fascination with Shark Week? Discovery has been doing this forever now, and I don't think I have ever watched a Shark Week show that wasn't already on my regular viewing docket.

HOLY S--T. I just noticed this is the 25th Shark Week. 25 years of this? Wow.

Real life shark story:

One-ton shark headed to Texas coast

katherine.jpg


At 14 feet long and 2,300 pounds, it's only fitting that Katharine is heading for the land where everything is bigger.

This massive great white shark was most recently spotted 100 miles off the Florida coast in the Gulf of Mexico, headed toward Texas. And as of June 5, another great white, Betsy, was about 140 miles west of Sarasota, Florida.

In August, researchers from the nonprofit group Ocearch tagged Katharine off Massachusetts' Cape Cod, along with the 14-foot long, 2,300-pound shark Betsy. Every time the sharks surface, their tags send signals to a satellite that can then pinpoint their locations, which can be viewed in near real time on the Ocearch website. So far, each of these sharks has traveled over 1,400 miles.
