Great Whites can't jump
 
I was telling Scott today about a show a saw on TV last night about Great Whites breaching to catch seals. This is one of those clips that say $h!t, glad that wasn't me.

Yep, when you are going 30 knots straight up towards water's surface.. you are gonna JUMP baby!
Anyone ever seen a kingfish or a tarpon skyrocket? That's impressive too, but not quite as much.

I like how the shark tweaks it out at the end. First, he sticks the move. Then, he adds a little style right before he sticks the landing.

It looked more to me like his kite was falling out of the sky and he got worked head-first!!! I bet his "neck" hurt after that wipeout...

Any guesses on that shark's weight?
