Someone sent me the video and I have it in my text but don't know how to link it. It's bad and clearly shows two sharks.

I think that's 1 shark and what you're seeing is the dorsal and tail of a pretty decent sized shark.

Actually, the video I have is of a woman getting her leg taken off. Looks like there were two incidents today.

Do spoiler tags work in images? Graphic… don't want to catch a ban over it…
From one of my employees FB feed earlier. Have a closer shot - no need to post it. Very sad.

I'm on mobile. I don't think the spoiler tags worked.

Mods can remove if it's too much. It's like Log's toe x 3.25

Eta - another friend is on the island and posted a video of swimming shark. I'm sure it's the same one in the op. Big *******.

Your finger or the shark bite victim?

On that note, guess I'll be fishing this weekend instead of playing in the waves.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

lol. Not my finger bro. That's Joe's finger - I was taking a pic of his phone.

In an unrelated / related note I just caught 2 bull snakes climbing the stone outside of my house this afternoon looking for altitude. One of my friends bees all absconded. It's about to get western - I don't recommend wading.

I think its just one. Probably a big hammerhead, which probably didn't bite anyone as I don't think they do very often. Or, is that confirmed to be the one that bit the lady?

Yep. Looks lsisliar to the one from video on
My feed too. However. The victim video I only saw on another phone.

Hold on. I just got more photos from another victim. Not the same bite. How many people got bitten?

Looks like two. A man and a woman. I just got a pic of the guy's leg but there is no way I can post it here.

That's a big shark that bit her calf off. 12ft+ probably. I would bet a tiger.

Outdoor Board poster shared instagram post of DPS helicopter circling over game warden boat outside the surf. Some regular Jaws type shiz.

The pic of the two fins in the water looks more like a bull shark, especially with the notch in the tail fin.

so with that lady's calf....do they take the leg off above the bite, or are they able to save that? Structurally it's sound but the arteries/veins run through the meat there.

I bet that's savable. I've seen some pretty gnarly muscular damage before where people didn't lose the affected limb.

I'm here since Tuesday. It's at least 4 attacks today. Insane. We spent all day at the beach yesterday and saw a few jellyfish but nada on sharks. We skipped the beach today thank the lord. The lady in the video above is essentially where we spent all day yesterday.
Spooky stuff.

Agree. Blood supply to the foot should be intact.

This sure puts a dent in the family trip to S Padre we had booked in 3 weeks though.

Look at it this way. If you survive an afternoon trip to
Matamoros is a piece of cake!
