GW is back

Nah, not that GW, This is a 20' plus Great White that was seen 100yds offshore @ La Jolla Cove.

Kayaker first thought it was a shadow of an airliner that left SD International, then realized his mistake as it swam 10' below him


Tis the season

Here's the picture. Kind of makes me happy to put up with Lake Ontario.

Here's another photo. It's a brave (or foolish) man who sits in a kayak above a great white.

John,
Those photos are old - been all over the internet for at least 2 years and I believe from South Africa.

Pappy's post refers to a recent sighting off La Jolla, California.

I would personally pick a style of watercraft that looked a little less like an injured seal. But that's just me.
