Chicken of the sea?

wit the choice of colours and sizes in the ocean it will be a finger buffet for sure and with regards to the chicken of the sea, have you even seen a person stay and fight with a shark, everyone hightails it outta there.

i remember when we were growing up there was a shark called The Submarine because it was reported as being a massive great white.

We've heard about it too. A rather large shark indeed. Urban myths suggested it was nicknamed 'The submarine' because it was picked up in Simon's Town by their military harbour's sonar.

Because once upon a time, long long ago, the White Sharks and the Nile Crocs had a business meeting to divvy up the market?

That's pretty funny.

SA shark attack stats since 1905 up to 2008 ( add 1 for Western Cape and I believe 1 for Eastern Cape )

Natal

Total attacks 91
Fatal 27
Last fatality 1999

Eastern Cape

Total attacks 82
Fatal 6
Last fatality 1988

Western Cape

Total attacks 39
Fatal 8
Last fatality 2004

Certainly a greater % of Western Cape attacks prove fatal.

10 years since the last fatal attack in KZN is quite surprising.

There are three recent shark attack related fatalities at the Wild Coast. Two happened last year between Jan and March and another one this month I heard.

Correct, all 3 were on 2nd beach in Port St. Johns.

Bruce Corby died in 1994 at Nahoon Reef in East London. Your stats are wrong.

Yeah, I was in the water at Nahoon that day when Bruce and Andrew Carter were attacked. Anton (forgot his surname now) died off Gonubie Point in 1998 after a great white took him as well.
