Who thinks this Shark was Killed (or should have been shot) ?

Now, the fun part - from looking at OCEARCH's site, this isn't Katherine. No tags are visible, but then again the viz and video quality are pretty crappy. However, on May 6 she was transmitting from up around Jacksonville, quite a ways north of Bethel Shoal. She didn't get down there until around May 11.

So now that's at least two we have in the area ...

Katherine's satellite tag was transmitting from off Jacksonville on May 6th, and there's no tag on the shark in the video. She's got quite the alibi. I think I'll trust OCEARCH's position data over the local news broadcast.

I stand corrected! Either way she's down our neck of the woods now. Wanna go find her?

I'd love to, but I have work (and a report deadline) tomorrow and the weather is looking sucktastic for the weekend. I have a gut hunch by Saturday or Sunday she may be hanging around the Duane or the Spiegel Grove, but I have my doubts that the Key Largo boats will be going out in projected 20-25 knot winds. Inside the reef line it's supposed to be unpleasant. Outside it's supposed to kick up to 5-9 feet. If one of the boats is willing to try I could be talked into it, but I've seen milder conditions keep everyone at the dock.

They have not tagged all of them.

There could be 1000s more big ones like her out there.
