The sharks have eaten him!’ Fishermen left with just the head of 600lb marlin after two enormous tiger sharks savage their prize catch. We find it amusing the writer evidently never read ‘The Old Man and the Sea,’ and that Earnest Hemingway was evidently a prophet.

The video was interesting to watch, but who the hell wrote this thing?
It does say something about the basic education of journalists that the writer didn't mention "The Old Man and the Sea."
I've seen this happen before to a huge bull redfish in Galveston Bay. Guy was left with nothing but a head when he got it to the boat.
"The men on board the boat clearly begin to panic - and no wonder, tiger sharks are one of the most dangerous sharks to humans."
After watching the video, I didn't see them panic. Not a one did I see panic. While maybe pissed a shark got their catch, they certainly didn't panic. Sensationalism anyone?
Hey Joe, OT but you've helped me before. Is there a way to stop video from auto playing when you open a new tab? I don't want to block it, just keep it from playing unless it gets clicked. Any ideas?
You can try this add-on that does that for youtube videos.

I've never used it, but it sounds like something you might be interested in. I can tell you it probably won't work on a video like the ones found on mlb websites http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=phi
Otherwise, I think you would have to get into manipulating what flash and java scripts you allow to run and when. Which can be a pain if you're not familiar with doing that. I might be wrong though, I'm not an expert by any means.
Thanks Joe, didn't mean to bug you but I was in a snit. Hoped ABP could do it, knew I was reaching. Better just leave it well enough alone before I screw something else up.
Sometimes there is a virtually hidden radio button to turn autoplay on and off/ Search carefully!
Not only that, it's an old video. I saw it on you tube a long time ago, posted by the charter capt., I think. The posted by part, I know it's old.
Sounds like Obama did to the US economy during his illegal tenure!
Obama as JAWS?
Evidently the proper gear for Marlin is a sub with torpedoes.
"As one of the fastest fish on the planet, the marlin is incredibly difficult for keen fishermen to catch."
Ummm,............I didn't know that the fisherman swam after the fish. I thought they caught them with bait on a hook.
This was down around Australia. They're fast swimmers down there.
Kind of reminds you of a swarm of IRS agents going after a profitable business.
Or lawyers at a car crash....
Or lawyers.
Obama and a 1%er?
Think we could get this clown to frack obomie?
