Frank Mundus

The December 2007 episode of Shark Conspiracies is now available for free download. Shark Conspiracies explores shark sightings and attacks in a new way, by exposing the cover-ups and misinformation sometimes generated from tourism and conservation interests. Shark Conspiracies claims to be both "pro shark" and "pro truth."

The latest podcast features Frank Mundus, perhaps the most famous shark fisherman on earth, who claims to have invented the underwater shark cage, to have coined the term "monster fishing," and to be the very first fisherman to specialize in catching large sharks. He is also arguably an original inspiration for the character Quint, the colorful fisherman of "Jaws" fame. Mr. Mundus gave us a candid and fascinating interview from his retirement home in Hawaii.

The podcast runs about 24 minutes and is available at http://www.sharkconspiracies.net.
