sharks

It's July and that means we are going to start hearing a lot about shark sightings again. The National Geographic channel has just begun its traditional Sharkfest month and I got to thinking, I wonder if there have ever been sharks found in freshwater in Arkansas?

Now you don't have to travel to the Gulf Coast to swim with the sharks you just have to take a road trip to Northwest Arkansas.

It's July and you know what that means! Shark week is coming on the Discovery Channel starting Sunday. Did you know that at the Texas State Aquarium, in Corpus Christi, Texas you can now swim with the sharks?

Are you moving to Texas soon? Have you been thinking about it? I'll be the first to stand up and shout that I love my state! Texas is the greatest state in the Union, of that, I have no doubt. There can be challenges living here though, for instance, there are a lot of critters that will try to kill you and then consume you here.

If my shark fishing story didn't freak you out THIS will! Check out these sharks having a feeding frenzy, literally ON the beach!

Had a chance to take a week and go visit friends in Florida. We stayed at a house on St. George Island with the Apalachicola Bay on one side of us and the Gulf on the other. I didn't know it when I went down, but we were going shark fishing!

Wow! Just Wow! Check out this guy fishing off the coast of Florida. He catches a 4 foot shark and then...Wow! Here's a fishing story you just won't believe! Luckily, there's video.

I love the beach, but I don't love sharks! This video was taken a couple of days ago near Pensacola Florida. A hammerhead shark swims up really close to the beach!

Surfing champ Karina Petroni recently took a swim with a Shiver of Caribbean Reef sharks in the Bahamas. That's what you call a group of sharks, a Shiver. This video will give a lot of folks some shivers...

Many spend their vacation days on the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. If you are planning a trip, you may want to keep track of these Great White Sharks that are in the Gulf now.

I am sure we all know lots of people that make the gulf shore for vacation season, and we all know at least a few that head to Destin Florida. Check out this shark and how close it came to people enjoying the beach.

If you're just now emerging from a deep slumber and have no idea what's going on in the world, here's an FYI: one of the greatest weeks of the year is upon us. (Cue the 'Jaws' theme song.) Happy Shark Week, shark fans!
