Tagging a Great White - Guadalupe Island
This is for you, Ken Bondy. I caught it on the MSN homepage yesterday and thought of you. This is a great video of a Whitie being tagged at G.I.

Hmm, I'm now confused. That page implied that I had to install SilverLight to see the video, but upon clicking the little "remind me later" link,
brought it up in Flash.

Thanks for that...Earlier this evening I too, declined downloading something I had never heard of... but it worked when I click "Remind me
later"...what are they trying to pull"?

If you are serious it is suggested that you visit Guadalupe Island--Many many sharks of all shapes and sizes including the GWS reside there.
In 1974 my friend AL Sneppersnoff was attacked and killed there by a GWS, 11 years later Harry Ingram was also attacked by a GWS, in the same
general location but survived by spearing it at the very last moment.
They are lovely to look at but dangerous when hungry

Had to install, but the video was worth it. Lived in N. Ca for years surfed near the Farelon Islands, the great white has my respect.

Very cool! In my biology class at Catalina Isl. 1964 we dissected sharks instead of frogs.

I have heard of Guadalupe Island, and have added it to my bucket list.
I'm sorry about your friends that were killed, that is very sad. I just think that sharks are an amazing species, and would love to look at them in
their natural habitat.

Awesome!!!!! That was fabulous Paulina. What a setup NG has to be able to do that. The sharks are incredible animals, so glad somebody cares. They
should get some great information from the data they are collecting. I loved all of it, but the detail of the claspers was particularly interesting.
Thanks for finding this Paulina. ++Ken++

The video skipped the whole sedation part. I wonder how they did that? Hmmm. Are they like rabbits, you scratch their tummies and they snooze for a
bit?

I would like to see how they did that. There's a lot to that "scratch their tummies" bit. Many sharks are calmed, almost hypnotized by rubbing their
lower side. When I started getting really interested in photographing sharks I did a few caged blue shark trips off of San Diego. In those days
(middle 80s) hundreds of blues would be attracted (none now). The little ones would swim through the bars and would be inside the cage with us. You
could actually grab one of those little guys, turn it over, rub its tummy, and it would go absolutely limp, just lying in your hand. When they were
turned over rightside, they quickly recovered and swam away. Go figger.
carpe diem!

What is the best reel to use with the size of hook they pulled out of it's mouth? Do you think I will be OK with my pocket fisherman rod and 20 pound
test?
Thanks in advance.

One of the best ways to release a fish is to hold it upside down horizontally. They became disoriented when the sunlight is below them rather than
above and stop moving. Perhaps the same thing was occuring with your shark.
