That can't possibly be a "real" photo???

Supposedly, that was taken in South Africa, if it is real.

Reddog, Have you been surfing Fark.com??

when fishing, try the crocodile dun-dee (however you spell it) style. dynamite thrown below the surface :)

Kinda looks (a little too much) like the shark from jaws. I'm thinking someone was excercising their photoshop skills.

I heard this photo is real and it may be "The photo of the year"

JP, you might be right. Late last night on the Discovery channel, saw a show called Air Jaws 2. Sure enough, off South Africa, they were dangling a fake seal in the air from a helicopter, and a great white jumped up and bit it. Maybe they showed this pic too, but it was late and i fell asleep. Its on again on the 18th. Details (http://dsc.discovery.com/tuneins/sharkweek.html#air) Hey, as long as these things don't play this game in Jersey.

The photo is real. I know because I was there. I'm the fellow in the water to the left. Shortly after this picture was taken, I caught the 30 footer by the tail, killed him with my diver's knife and ate him for breakfast. What a day it was. :p

I don't know Bama man - that looks like fun to me. I having a sking problem in that those who I would let drive the Donzi and pull me don't want to drive. Those who would, I won't let drive.

With this rig, digger could make the rounds and pull a lot of us. Can you say hole shot out of the water is no problem...

ha ha, i talked to someone who fell on skis at 90. i didnt really care at the time, i was more interested in the 20' low slung twin outboard black and orange catamaran he owned.

Owen.. If that is the Golden Gate then the pic is fake. The whole story around the pic is that it was taken in South Africa. Nice catch.

I have finally found a "jet ski" that I can live with :rolleyes:

I guess one benefit would be the opportunity to ski year-round, as I suspect the temp would be a bit warm behind the tow vessel!

MP when I did my check out dives in Deerfield Beach in the late 80's, someone asked the Captain if you should try to out swim a shark, and he replyed;
"Never worry about out-swimming a shark, just make sure you can out-swim your dive buddy." :D :D

This one was bugging me, I admit it. The discovery channel had a form where you could submit a question for shark week, so i sent this link asking for validity. Well the producer from last years shark week emailed me back this am, and pointed me to this link SharkJump (http://www.apexpredators.com/sequences.asp) . Third row down, middle pic. Thats it. After reading diggers comments, i would think that there would be more prop wash from the rotor on the helo. Its missing from the portion with the shark. Cool shark pics though. Id rather ski from an f-14 anyway....

Ah yes. A fake as I had suspected.
