Holy ****. The beast is estimated to be 12-17 ft. long. RIP.

I love swimming in lakes and rivers, but I'm not a huge fan of swimming in saltwater. We are not the top dog out there.
 
Holy crap! I didn't know sharks got as far as South Dakota!

That's freakin' weird that seals and sea lions had been beaching themselves in the area. Or at least it seems weird to me, a confirmed inlander. I wonder how word gets around among the seals that it's beaching time.

What about gators in rivers?
 
Am I the only one who saw this thread and thought "SD" stood for South Dakota?

That freaked me out the most. Because if Sharks are now walking to South Dakota, we're all ****ed.

From watching Shark Week, I know some sharkologists think people are more likely to be attacked when they're wearing black wetsuits. To the sharks, they look like seals.
 
I saw the thread title and assumed a South Dakota guy was attacked while vacationing in Florida.
 
Good thing I heard about this on CNN first or I'd think we were talking about S.D. "Special Delivery" Jones, greatest among all WWF losers.
 
This is strange. I read somewhere that sharks don't usually attack people who are in groups. It's usually somebody swimming by himself.
