[size 2] It was June 2003 I was out fishing in my tube in Huntington Harbor and a fog bank moved in.[unimpressed][/size]
[size 2]I began paddling closer to shore to not get struck by a boat and I look down and there is a small thresher shark following me.[shocked]
( somewhere between 2-3' )[/size]
[size 2] I had a net with live smelt in it and I guess he wanted a snack. So I tried to shoo him off with my flipper and he decided to not only bite my flipper but tore it off my foot![crazy][shocked][/size]
[size 2] Luckily I was close enough to shore to make it in quickly without further incident with remaining flipper.[

[size 2] At first I was going to raise smelt out of water but I was afraid to change his attention to my feet.[shocked][/size]
[size 2] Pretty scary! After that I bought a pontoon tube in which you are completley out of water. I have used that ever since that incident.[cool][/size]
