i figured it would happen sooner or later....................just glad it wasnt my wife or my son, cause they were down there this weekend

 

sucks that happened.. but we are in their water. We just have to be extra careful when in areas like that

 

heard that on the radio this morning, thats terrible.

 

man that really sucks! but it is really cool that they said they would most likely be coming back!

 

<---------prefers lakes, or contained waters.

 

I heard about this at 5am. I thought they were talking about Florida or something, till they showed Galveston.
She was only waist deep and it kept bumping her. Really sucks to hear.

 

We were down there (Crystal Beach) for a week in June. Calm, clear waters, lots of beach fishing going on. The only things I saw people catching were shark. That's it.

 

That is why my big *** stays out of the ocean. They'll have an all day feast with me.

 

Damn, that sucks...poor girl.

 

my cousin takes his kyack (sp) out in Galveston maybe a mile but most likely alot less. he has caught a countless number of sharks and a few have been over 5 feet. kinda scary to think ive been in that water hundreds of times...

 

Them sharks hungry, they eat any one

 

I don't think a shark would be able to find your brown legs in the brown water... you should consider yourself lucky.

 

wouldnt do no good eatin my legs any way, no meat, sharks dont like bones, only labradors do

 

Why on earth would anyone have been in the water yesterday??? Of all days???

 

I go shark fishing in galveston alot and we catch them a hundred feet from the shore..Best time to go for them is when the water is reall dirty..They are more active at night..Anybody ever wants to go we can get a group together and go on a saterday.....Here is my buddy's site if you want to see some of the fish we catch of the beach...www.catchingbigfish.net

 

I cought 2 small sharks this year on East Beach. I`d walk out there, cast and walk back to shore. I`d say I cought them in waist deep water. A lady fishing down from us cought a small one in knee deep water. Sharks are thick out there this year.

 

I caught a 7ft black tip shark out of galveston about 10 miles off shore on a 21 ft boat...It took 3 of us to get him in the boat, not to mention an hours worth of fighting...

 

everytime you are in the Gulf of Mexico, you are 100 ft. away from a shark on average.

For the girls: Don't get in the water if you're on your period. Sharks are very attracted to even the most smallest amount of blood.

Fisherman: One of sharks favorite food is trout. Don't keep a stringer of trout by you while wade fishing.


And you think sharks are bad, my bro and I saw THOUSANDS of stingrays in Galveston while surfing by the Flagship.

 

!!Dam, and last time i went to g town me and my bro were about 200ft in there.....thank god we did not meet one of those sharks....U won't see me there again
