richard_smith237 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 This might be the first photo I’ve seen in a while which includes Police and no pointing... Of course, the ‘big fish’ wasn't there to point at. There was a shark attack last year, there was an initial refusal by the authorities to accept it was a shark which had bitten someone, instead claiming it was a ‘big fish’.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realenglish1 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Well I can with certainty say it was not a grouper that bit him. Other than a crazed lamprey it must have been a shark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
