Today is the 50th anniversary of the movie Jaws, loved it then….love it now, great movie, scared the he77 out of lots of people when it was first released…..
 
While at the beach as a teenager and witnessing the aftermath of a shark attack I will NEVER go back in the ocean past my ankles ever again.
Was this from the book or did this actually happen?

I have been told if you've been in the Gulf of Mexico more than five times you have been within 10 ft of a man eating shark.

Of course it doesn't specify the size of the shark. I mean a one foot long great white shark that was just born is still a man eating shark.
 
I've got a confession to make.

I saw jaws with my father when I was 9 years old. I wouldn't go in a swimming pool for a year afterwards.

I got over it but I got caught in a Riptide Office Santa Monica Beach five-ish years later and almost drowned and I have not been back in the ocean since.

I already said it, but I still think the book was waaaaay better than the movie and the movie was pretty damn good.
 
You're gunna need a bigger boat...

There was(maybe still is) a small group who showed movies on the beaches of Jerzey and Jaws was the first one of the summer usually the movie nights started in June. The Asbury Park movie nights if the tide is high you can watch Jaws sitting in the Right Ocean.

You can check the water at the beach to see if there's a shark. Take a spoon or straw and take a sip of the water if you taste salt, sharks will be in the water.

My surf fishing time i caught a few sandbar sharks and other sharks and always got a laugh if we were fishing on a beach like Sandy Hook, sections of the beach for "swimming" are maybe 50'(next to) us fishing and if a shark typically a sandbar shark was caught and even just a couple of feet long some people got wide eyes and a few left the beach/park.
