I had a 15 foot White within 10 feet of me...
My girl swears it was not that far away.
She says 5-6 feet.
Of course she is not as good with measurement ...
Anyway...
at first I thought it was a Bull shark... which is bad enough...
She sufaced behind me while I was climbing the dive ladder into the boat...
Never even knew she was there.
I was not diving...
I was swimming with my dog... Which I had just pushed up on deck.
And this happened off the face of Shell Key which is the barrier off the face of Mullet Key.
When I saw my girls face as I was climbing up I knew something was wrong...
So I turned and look and she is surfacing ...
Her eyes met mine...
We locked eyes...
And she just rolled over right and slowly slinked under... real quiet.
It was eerie...
I was in shock...stunned... because it caught me totally off guard.
Then I realized... the eyes...
Black as coal...
The nose...
I was like no F'n way that was a White I thought... that had to be a bull... I could not believe it...
Got home and compared hundreds of pics.
White.
Period.
Only people I tell that story to who KNOW me... believe it.
Do you ever think of what could have happened? I would have taken a heart attack after seeing that! You must have thanked your lucky stars for that narrow escape!
