A mystery: Why are sharks suddenly snatching so many fish from anglers?
Imagine pulling up to a fishing spot. You hook a fish, a beautiful snook. As you reel it in, the water boils, a shark’s tail smacks the surface. The fish stops struggling. All that’s left of the snook is a bloody stump.
On the next cast the same thing happens. There’s no reason to continue fishing in this spot, so you leave.
Anglers say this kind of shark encounter seems to be happening more and more in parts of South Florida, especially near Flamingo, in Everglades National Park.
