Official Shark Week thread.....

Sad part is that show is a hoax. The boat it's about sank in 2012 about 100km away from shark alley, no sharks were reported at the site when it went down.
The rumor of "Submarine" is about a 20 ft white shark. Nobody has actually documented it. It's all just old fisherman's stories.
The rest is pure fiction for entertainment.

SFS actually goes into a little more detail about the fake show:

How about that 15ft hammerhead that was caught recently? Not on shark week but a very big hammerhead
Do you mean the one they caught in FL? They have been seeing a few 13-15 footers down here lately.
Another interesting article about how they've edited people to say things they weren't really saying:

Do you know if the story in regards to the harbormaster/old Hitler are real or have any merit? From what I found it appears to be in the Bigfoot or Loch Ness monster category.

No the one caught in Oman. Sad thing is they killed it and sold it to Indian fishing company for shark fin soup, what a p**s off
Honestly I believe there's a 20ft hammerhead as its definitely possible. Them being the same fish is also possible as sharks are known to migrate. I once saw a documentary on a great white where it would migrate across oceans being spotted and tracked on both sides of the world.
I hadn't until now. That thing was a GIANT! So sad to see it getting chopping into soup.
I'd love to run across something like that in the wild....As long as I had my camera to prove it. Haha
This is cool. Shark week teamed up with "ghost fishing" a group that removes lost fishing gear from the oceans:

I had no idea lost gear was this big of a problem.
