For the Jaws fans out there: Legendary shark hunter, Frank Mundus, the man widely credited as the inspiration for (my fav) Captain Quint in the film Jaws, passed away on the island of Hawaii. He was 82 yrs. old. He fished the waters off Montauk since the 5o's, on his boat "Cricket". When he landed a monster white shark over 4500 lbs., it sparked Mr.Benchley's imagination, & a great novel was born. The novel led to the creation of one of the greatest thrillers in cinematic history. Not to mention the birth of a hell of a character, Captain Quint. RIP Mr. Mundus, you will be missed.
