Fisherman Who Inspired "Jaws" Dead At 82

HONOLULU (AP) — Frank Mundus, the legendary shark fisherman said to have inspired the Captain Quint character in the movie "Jaws," has died. He was 82.

Mundus died Wednesday at The Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu after a heart attack, his wife said.

So let me link my favorite scene from the movie:



And that great line from Robert Shaw:

"So...eleven hundred men went into the water, three hundred sixteen came out, sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945."

Chilling, absolutely chilling.

    Robert Shaw wrote that scene. Talented guy, also wrote "The Man in the Glass Booth."
