    Why?
    Maybe if we tell people that the brain is an App, they will start using it.

    Hopefully the shark isn't worse for the wear and someone had a little fun.

    When I was younger and dumber, snorkeling on the second reef south of Port Everglades, would occasionally come upon one of those little guys sleeping on the bottom. Grab it by the tail and hang on until it broke away.

    You rang??

    No you big dummy I didn't say they don't have teeth...they do...but they're not the razor sharp slashing teeth of other sharks.

    Ask Chris, he was the one dumb enough to reach in one's mouth to try to get his hook back (as I am standing there, offering him pliers!!)

    He did end up "lipping" it, if inadvertently, and his thumb was a bit scraped up but otherwise fine. Ego, not so much.

    Small consolation to him my face and sides got hurt from laughing for about an hour straight.

    No biggie - my daughter "plays" with sharks often. This is a zebra shark.

    LOL while getting lobster in Florida bay, nurse sharks could be found in bigger rock formations, and it seems guarding the lobster around them, I would find one with his tail sticking out from a formations that went all the way threw, NOTE ALL THE WAY THREW, LOL and grab him by the tail and hang on for na few seconds and off he would off go faster than a speeding car. Never tried to catch one, I wonder what lOL

    As a marine life collector for the tank trade I hand caught, grabbed nurse sharks all the time...several hundred over a career...25 bucks a pop.....gave my dad a 55 gallon tank and one we called gums...ate himself out of the tank, ended up going to sea world in Otown..

    Cool..feel like a man now catching a 2 ft Nurse Shark?!

    I tried to catch nurse sharks that were 12 to 14 inches if I could find them...those things eat a lot, eat everything, and grow fairly fast...
