I saw two tiger sharks yesterday...they tried to eat our anchor bouy!

We had a crazy day yesterday....besides the crazy mantis shrimp thing, while fishing two tiger sharks came to the surface and circled our boat several times before trying to eat our anchor bouy. I had no idea tiger sharks were even know to this area...and had no idea that they swim together. The first appeared and was about 12ft long....pretty big guy in my opinion. The second was about 9-10ft long and didn't have as distingiushable markings but was definately a tiger. Here are the only pictures I managed to get.

What happend with the Mantis Shrimp? Did you get your thumb split?

 

[docmartin]

quite fortunate that you got to see them. did you catch a lot of fish that would have attracted them?

Did either one of them bite ie did you catch one???......talk about a fight if so.......I'm one that hooked a 25' whale shark trolling around it on a Christmas visit to Roatan......lol, we were in our 17' center console & had the world on a string for about an hour(didn't know we had the whale shark the whole time---we saw a whale shark about 50 yds. away & thought we had hooked a big yellow fin tuna....lo & behold there were 2 when we thought there was only one)................
