Shark confused with dolphin

Surfer Bernard "Butch" Connor Jr. was about to paddle into a tasty wave off Bodega Bay when he heard a strange splash. Glancing over his right shoulder, he noticed a large fin jutting out of the rolling water about 3 feet away.

"Just like in the movie," said Connor, a 44-year-old telecom technician from Windsor.

"My first thought was, that's a really big dolphin. But then I noticed it was swimming side to side rather than up and down," he said. "I thought I was dust."

Maybe it was a dolphin with really big teeth.:D

Just as soon as they smile at you, it isn't confusing any more.

Meh. Shark attacks are common on the California coast.

On the other hand, since it happened in Bodega Bay, a bird attack would have been ..ohh.. such a juicy news item.
