Greatest Fisherman There Ever Was?
In the summer of 1975 Roy Scheider was probably the most famous American angler for a little movie called Jaws that thrilled audiences worldwide. I remember a number of shark scares while swimming at the beach that summer that forced lifeguards to order us out of the water. What great memories of growing up in New England where the story was suppose to have taken place.
Mr. Scheider passed away yesterday at the age of 75. He had a couple of other great movies including the French Connection and Blue Thunder.

I always liked him. He made a lot of good movies.
It sounds odd to say, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen Jaws. I was 6 when it came out, so my parents wouldn’t let me see it. I can’t imagine why.

I was only 1 when the movie came out…but I have seen at least bits and pieces of it on TBS late at night.
I guess there has never been a more popular “fishing” movie…and it was pretty good!
