Controversy Over Huge Mako Shark Caught Off Huntington Beach

At the Los Angeles Times, "Giant shark caught off Southland coast stuns sportfishing world."

You gotta love the response from the idiot environmentalists (with the emphasis on "mental"):

David McGuire, the director of Shark Stewards, a Bay Area nonprofit that advocates for the protection of sharks, said he was shocked.

"It's really something you see more in Florida than in California, where we have more of a conservation ethic," he said. "People should be viewing these sharks as wonderful animals that are important to the ocean and admiring how beautiful they are."

He lamented that so many shows about sharks continue to evoke Jaws-like terror rather than science. "These kind of reality shows are not reality. The reality is we're overfishing sharks, and this macho big-game attitude should be a relic of the past."
