I don't know....shark week just started on Discovery channel. I didn't get to see all of "anatomy of shark bite" but that area he got bit sure looked an awful lot like some of the areas I wade down in the keys! I'm thinking the kayak is going to go with me a bit more now! ;-) Maybe I'll stop casting to the sharks when I see them.....(or maybe I won't!)
