So, my email suddenly lights up with a story headlined, “Fisherman Captures 3,000-Pound Great White Shark in Great Lakes?” As incontrovertible proof, there is a ride-along photo of a smiling fishing fellow squatting next to the landed 3,000-pound great white. You can Google “Great Lakes great white” for a read – but not until you’re done reading my updated version below.

Like many, I initially went agog over the story, primarily mesmerized by the high-resolution image of the bloody behemoth.
