A photo of a large shark eating a small shark eating bait on a hook

From ORB LAB's FB page:

Shark fishing season has officially begun for the ORB LAB. Last Friday, a crew struck out to try and recapture sharks carrying tags containing valuable information about the species assemblage encountered by these coastal apex predators.

We caught one large female on our first line Friday, but we were not expecting to catch her like this! This unlucky smooth dogfish couldn't resist the menhaden used as bait and unfortunately fell victim to one of the top predators in the bay. The dogfish was about 3 feet long and completely swallowed by the sand tiger shark.

years back I needed a break from 5 kids at my parents cottage. Took out the boat, caught a perch, took the perch and put it on another pole, with double hooks on its back and let it run hoping to catch a walleye. Had a bobber on it and it was about 40 foot from my little fishing boat...then it died and I didn’t know it, it went belly up and I caught a seagull....but the gull dropped it when it was about 2 foot out of the water...glad cause I didn’t know how to get a seagull off a hook..

Someone else apparently likes Darths and Droids. ;)

... to his close friends, he was known as Qui-Gon Jimmy

Yes, and true! But...Qui-Gon Jinn really said that. If I were quoting Darths & Droids, the proper line is:

"I cast a spell to summon a bigger fish!" :-D
