The real Jaws


I have always heard that author Peter Benchley loosely based his novel on the 1916 NJ shark attacks. Quint was supposed to have been inspired by Frank Mundus. An actual fisherman and colorful character. I don't know how much of that is true though. Brody did mention the Jersey Shore attacks briefly. Later tonight I will probably be having a drink and scanning the water from the balcony for fins. Lol.
