In a jaw-dropping tale from the Texas Gulf Coast, I share a tale from legendary bass outfitter “Wild” Bill Skinner who had an unforgettable great white shark encounter off the coast of Port Aransas in his youth.
As sharks circled his family’s shrimp boat, a massive predator emerged from the deep and bit a blacktip shark clean in half — then dragged their boat! 📍
Watch below.
Set against the backdrop of the Sabine Jetties and Port Aransas, this story sounds like folklore… until you hear the details.
Could it really have been a great white shark ? Or just another fisherman’s tale? 🎣
This is one shark story you’ll never forget.

Favorite Vintage Shark Book?
I am beginning to put together the Gulf Great White Shark Society book archive. I have quite a few vintage shark and ocean books that mention sharks.
What is your favorite pre-1990 shark book?
Share in the comments or email me at chester@chestermoore.com.
I’m trying to get as many of the best books on sharks possible to use for research and to lend to young people we mentor in our conservation program.
