Fifty years after JAWS terrified a generation, the fear of sharks still runs deep — but the truth about these ocean predators is far more fascinating than frightening.
In this episode of Doc Talks Fishing, Dr. David Shiffman, author of Why Sharks Matter, tells us why these ancient fish are critical to healthy oceans, how they shape entire ecosystems, what makes them biologically extraordinary, and why so many species are on the brink of extinction.
From great whites and hammerheads to Greenland sharks that live for centuries, David takes us inside the secret world of sharks —and reminds us that protecting apex predators, including muskies and northern pike, is key to keeping our fisheries thriving.
