I was having dinner at the Brass Ring Pub on Saturday night and the two guys sitting next to me at the bar work on a big sport fish boat. They had heard of a boat sighting of a GWS last week. I spoke with both Angie and Glen about their underwater diving encounter and this particular Great White Shark came within around 4 to 8 feet of each of them. .

Re: Great White Shark on Capt. Kurles Jupiter today +
I have personally had encounters with 2 GWS off jupiter (north of inlet) one was above the water while fishing. The other was while diving near Loran tower ledges.
Both appeared to be the same 12-15ft length and we're both headed south during the sighting. The fishing sighting was in 500ft and thr shark was fin out of the water swimming gently southbound. We directed thr boat for an intersecting course and nearly ran it over when it didn't yield to our boat. The deep rod snagged his back and pulled off 50ft in a zip. Thr diving story he approached while I was ascending and I had to wait for him to swim off some before I came up from the drop. I was nervous but mainly just ready to exit the water. He approached me directly coming from the east and when he got 20-25ft away he turned south and swam away.

Pretty Awesome.
I'll be in Miami end of this month. Anyone know if wahoo and Mahi are hanging around? I would like to see about spearfishing for them, while I'm there. I know grouper is the focus as well. Any information would be great, I've never been to Miami spear fishing. |

I remember that day you came up and told us about it. You seemed so CALM. Either you are a big liar or pretty damn mellow underwater.

Re: Great White Shark on Capt. Kurles Jupiter today +
You have been our with me enough times to know that I'm as cool as a cucumber I admit I expected more reaction from myself that day. But as it happened I was so in awe that fear wasn't the primary thought in my head. I "knew" i was in danger but my body and mind basically stuck to the basics and said just swim normal and get in the boat.
Obviously I am the calm type diver as seen in my bottom laying habits. I believe I shot a 13lb mutton only a few hundred yards away minutes later that day. Yes it's suspect that I got right back in the water....but just accept that I'm not a p♤◇♡y and I love shooting fish no matter what. Haha

Re: Great White Shark on Capt. Kurles Jupiter today +
Incredible encounter indeed! Don't forget to report the white shark sighting to the encounter database I set up to track white shark sightings. You can find the link for it at the top of this thread: http://spearboard.com/showthread.php?t=155365 Would greatly appreciate the report!
Sucks you didn't get pics/video, but definitely not something you are going to forget anytime soon!
