great white Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Great sight  Only seen one once, about 4 years ago on our way out to the wrecks Quote
Jim Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 I wonder what was chasing it to make it leap like that ? Â Quote
niggle Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 They do it to stun mackerel and also use their tails then eat the stunned fish Quote
Neal Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 I have seen them hooked off St. Catherine's whilst Tope fishing. Â They don't stay hooked for very long! Â Â Neal Quote
