Ahh... ...get in a plane, fly over New Smyrna beach inlet:; and see the sharks swimming all around. New Smyrna Beach is in the direct path of the worlds largest shark migration that takes place every year. Research, research, research.

This indeed is a Blacktip shark, Carcharias limbatus, not a Spinner shark, Carcharias brevipinna. Both are known to jump out of the water while hunting fish.The Spinner shark has a black tip on the anal fin where as the Blacktip doesn't, which can clearly be seen in the pic.

CNN ran the pic last night, and several witness said that they saw the shark (sharks) jumping out of the water here just behind the lineup (area where the surfers sit while waiting for waves). I have actually seen makos do this as well.

These days anything can be doctered... live video would be much better.

I believe you all the way. My mom says that she used to swim there and she said she saw sharks all the time jumping.

I fish at that jetty in New Smyrna Beach every so often for the last 25 years.
<br/>That picture is no fake. Take it from an avid fisherman from Orlando FL.

Quite right, jce. Sharks don't exist. And if they did exist, they would never be seen around humans. And if they were seen around humans, they would never be photographed. And "shark bites"? All photoshopped.

Just to let all of you disbeleivers know, the photos are real! I have lived in New Smyrna all my life and have seen thousands of sharks jump out of the water. Kem is my friend and would never try to change or manipulate a photo. These images are 100% original and real..... Patrick Eichstaedt

Rich, Orlando, FL,

Marc C, I refer you to the conversation Father Ted had with Dougal about the difference between 'small' and 'far away'....

What's so pathetic John Ray?! Have to say that it looks a lot smaller than 6ft though!
