When I mentioned to a friend and neighbor of mine that I was Florida bound this weekend, she mentioned that her good friend is in Pensacola vacationing and she had just sent her pictures of a shark near the beach...to her iphone. Ummm. This slightly sparked my interest since I planned on NOT seeing sharks while I'm there w/ my children this weekend. She whipped out her phone and searched for the pictures to show them to me. OMG! I bugged her today to send them to my email address so I could see them enlarged. Now if I can figure out how to send these pictures w/ this thread. I'm no shark or fish expert, but ...do you see that the shark is chasing and is probably the reason it's in such shallow water. GEEEZUM! I was sooo excited about doing some surf fishing for the first time...was. Nervous is more like it now.

man, that is BIG and in shallow water too. :shock:
I'm going to go out on a limb and despite the lack of anything else in the frame for size reference I'll say that it wasn't that big. The waves are ripples. Looks like a dogfish...long pointy snout.
I have flown via helicopter the coastal area from PCB to PNS many times. It is not uncommon to see multiple sharks between the first/second sand bars well within 20-30 ft of people. Seldom do you see the traditional "jaws fin" above the water, but they are there........
dadum....dadum....dadadada......
puppy!!!
Dogfish? Puppy Drum? Weiner Trout? (often confused with Trouser Trout)!
