I remember fishing a conger about 4-5 feet long. One hour out of the water and nailed to the gunwale with a 5 inches nail, it was still willing to bite. And if you get caught, it's a nasty one.

Absolutely Dana. We dragged on backwards for 30 mins. (Supposed to drown it)
Then shot it in the head with a shotgun. 2 hour ride back to the dock and that thing was still active as it was being steaked.
The friggin things are worse than Zombies!

Yech. I'm pretty sure I'd have lost my appetite for shark by then

Myself, I was wondering if a shark bite would be that clean. I was wondering if that might be a an injury inflicted by a beak.

Such as that found on a giant squid.

a giant squid that size... God, i cant imagine. Perish the thought.
Though, I'm fairly convinced that would be physically impossible. A shark's bite is bigger than the width of the shark in some cases. A great white basically pushes its jaws fully out of its head when it bites. A giant squid's beak is quite small compared to the size of the squid. A squid with a beak big enough to take those kinds of chunks out would have to be tens of not hundreds of times the size of anything we've ever seen.. wouldn't it?
edit: i'm totally confident there's shit down there we have no clue about. Possibly even MUCH bigger than anything we've met. But I'm not sure a squid COULD grow to that size and still support its own mass.

I don't know, man, I've heard giant squids can have tentacles fifty-sixty feet. And isn't there a colossal squid, even bigger than a giant squid? I think there are pictures of whales with beak marks and tentacle marks on them.

I don't trust anything that lives in water. Why don't they drown? Could the shark be faking?

I don't trust anything that bleeds monthly and doesn't die.

Could the women be faking?

Would you trust yourself?

I'm pretty sure that Flipper was the culprit. Its obvious from the show he's a racist against sharks.
