It seems like you think the EPA is a joke, but then post articles that support the EPA's efficacy and importance. The EPA sets guidelines that local municipalities are supposed to follow. If anything, it seems like you're advocating for expanded EPA control and oversight. And if you are, I agree.

South Padre was generally considered a better shark fishing area than the National Seashore, at least back in my shark catching days which ended about 15 years ago. I heard some bullshit reasons why over the years but nothing I could really get behind. Shark fishing in Texas generally gets better the farther south you go according to legend, but that has not been my experience. One theory goes that the surf guts are deeper, but what do I know.

The bite itself isn’t gruesome or gory but after that they show footage of the guy being carried out of the water and that looks as bad or worse than the pics of this lady, so be ready if you watch past the bite.
July 5, 20241 yr Oh the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear And he shows them pearly white You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe Scarlet billows start to spread

July 5, 20241 yr Sharks are going to shark. It's not personal. In the ocean it's their world and we are merely an alternative food source to be consumed at their folly. We (my fam) have been visiting the Florida (Destin, Mexico Beach, and Navarre) gulf coast for off and on for 25 years. I have seen sharks more often than not. Mostly bull pups swimming in about 2 - 3 foot of water. We basically just keep an eye on them if we are in the water. Not a big deal. No panic and no "SHARRRRRRKKKKK!?!?!!!!!!" I did see a decent sized tiger cruise not too far away from me one time and that freaked me out somewhat. Enough to where I was trying to get my family's attention about 50-75 yards away to look out. A good reminder to never get too complacent when you are in the water. Speaking of tiger's I wonder if that was what did some of the SPI attacks going by the video of the shark cruising down the shore.

I grew up close to there and have heard of people catching small tiger sharks and all that. But there’s people on the RGV subreddit saying this one was huge, like 10-15 feet and that it might’ve been a great white. I’m not sure if that’s true but they’re saying some are moving in along the Texas coast now because of the hurricane.
July 5, 20241 yr So, not so much expanding their territory as just shifting it for a bit because of the hurricane?

I would bet the house against the shark being 12'-15' CSB I've seen a big Tiger up close, a shark like that looks like a 70's Cadillac just gliding through the water. It's unreal that something that big just glides by you can see it but you can't otherwise feel something that big moving through the water 5' from you. Other worldy terror.

I have never heard of a bull shark on the Texas coast being anywhere close to 12'. Tiger and hammerhead all the time. It's gotta be a bull, probably 8' max.

There is no way to accurately say how big the shark was based on people looking out from the beach. I am with you in that it was almost for sure a bull shark and probably not close to 12 feet long. Bull sharks going after bait fish bite surfers and waders all the time. But yeah, there are easily 12 foot long hammerheads and Tiger sharks lurking out there. https://www.mysanantonio.com/lifestyle/travel-outdoors/article/Texas-man-catches-12-foot-tiger-shark-at-South-13153089.php https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/wild-chase-leads-texas-angler-catch-massive-hammerhead-shark.amp

July 6, 20241 yr just a reminder that Bulls are actually pretty calm. Stupid people splashing around in the water acting like Bull prey is the main cause of attacks.
