Panhandle shark attack?

[Captain Kitty]

An indirect source told me some girl sitting on a pier in the panhandle got some amazing photos of a black-tip breaching the surface (apparently going after her feet!) Is this accurate or a farce?

If it's the one I'm thinking of, this was a couple years ago. A shark did breach, quite near her feet. Shortly after, the shark died... if I remember correctly, the general impression was that the shark was sick and this was part of it's "strange" behavior. I did see pics a couple years ago.

Again, not sure if you are speaking of the same incident as I am.

When I first saw this post I thought, "sharks in the Texas panhandle!!!!" Then I read your location...

Those are "Lone Sharks" in the Texas area...

This was recently shown on one of those "Caught on Tape" shows. That's probably where the original poster, or his/her friend, saw it. You remembered correctly about the shark being sick/dying.

Hey, the reason it died was "lack of her feet."
