"Mallick said he thinks the shark was probably attracted to the area because of the warm waters brought in by then-Tropical Storm Charley."


Ummmmm, ok..... That's the first time I've heard that theory :rolleyes: . Since when do land-based hurricanes bring in warm water? If anything, the warm water already here was stirred up and possibly cooled by Charley. I could see if the water was 65* and the strong NE blow brought in some 70*+ gulf stream waters from an ocean-based storm, but not a storm entering the area from over land when the ocean temps were up in the high 70's to begin with.

I've also never heard of a brown shark attacking someone like that, but then again, it may have wanted a snack :D .

"The thing is not changing direction - it's making a beeline right toward me," Mallick said. "I thought, if this thing's going to try to take a chunk out of me, I'm going to hit it first."

"Mallick said as the 5-foot brown shark got near him, he punched it in the gut, and the shark then retreated."


Sounds to me like he thought it was a brown shark coming to attack him. Am I missing something?? :confused:
