Angler's Worst Nightmare Comes True As "Big-Ass Shark" Steals The Fish Right Off Her Hook
I was thinking this morning that we really don't cover fishing enough here at Deadspin, and sure enough CBS blogger Will Brinson tweeted out a link to this video that's pretty much perfect.
Per the uploader's comments, this took place at Myrtle Beach where the fisherwoman snagged a five-pound red drum only to have a bullhead shark take advantage of her generosity. (Reader Lee suggests she probably meant a bull shark, and we agree.) We sympathize, as reds aren't the easiest to land and she nearly had it before that bastard shark came swooping in.
Feel free to share your own stories of "the one that got away" below.
