Great White Takes the Captain's Chair

I was getting ready to go fishing with Neill Drake and a couple of his friends. There were four of us in total that were going so we made it over to the dock and had some supplies and things. Before we got on we stopped at a little bodega and picked up a couple beers and snacks. I got one of the big 40oz Coronas. We started drinking that on the way to the boat and realized that was the only beer we got. We all wanted to drink it so I passed it around, and then when it got to about half Neill was like, "Wait, wait, wait, let me do what I do," or something like that. Then he got down on one knee and finished the beer before we even got on the boat so we had no more beer. Then we got on the boat and there was more beer hidden away for a time like this so we were okay. When we got going out in the water in the Bay area, not long in, I saw this shark coming our way. Some fins out of the water and I saw some white underneath so I got close and I'm like, "Great white, great white!" We all looked and this great white shark, medium size, as it swam right under the boat that had its motor going, which Neill tried to cut the motor quick, but didn’t in time. It went under the boat and then came back. We saw it on the other side and it was a little bloody. We're not sure if we cut it on the motor blades or it was already cut but then the great white ended up getting OUT of the water and ONTO this other boat and SITTING in the captain's chair! There was no one else on this boat so maybe it was THE SHARK’S boat but the great white was standing up like a human and sitting in the chair and just bleeding a lot out of its back like it was recently, maybe as recently as our boat, cut on the back with the motor! We all felt super bad because it was bleeding pretty good and I tried to get a picture of it because it was just amazing to see this great white shark for one and then for two it was sitting in the boat's captain's chair. When I turned to get my phone and take a picture, it was driving off and pretty far in the distance already so I didn’t get one. It was strange but very cool. These other guys were fishing near us and one had something hooked. As he brought it to the surface, it was like this big black fish thing that had long antennae-like eyes with big eyeballs at the end, a dark black fish. He was reeling it in. We heard them hooting and hollering, the guys on the boat, and they realized that it was hooked kind of precariously, maybe through its side of its head a little bit, not really in its mouth. The guy wanted to get it on the boat before it got off but the hook moved and hooked around the thing's antenna and then slid up the antenna and popped off his eyeball and swam away, in a lot of pain I can imagine. The guy who lost the fish was so pissed and I I was like, "the fish is probably a lot more pissed than you man, you popped off his eyeball.” Anyway, we kept going around the bay for a bit, didn't really go very far out. I don't even think we actually fished but then we got off again at this other little grassy harbor spot. Now we're in, right by the shore, and we're going up this elevator to go home or somewhere. I saw these three other guys walking towards us. It was a group of people but three guys had three different Hartford Whaler shirts and jerseys and hoodies on. It was kind of cool to see that they weren't seemingly matching on purpose but I was like, "Oh Hartford Whalers, cool!” We all made it to and were waiting for the elevator and we got on and the girl got in with us too for some reason. She was like, "oh what were you talking to those guys about?" I responded, "The Hartford Whalers," and she was like, "Oh cool." She was telling me she was visiting from Connecticut. That's where I guessed she was from because she was with them and they're all Hartford Whalers fans and she said yea and she’s visiting and about to go up to LA for the weekend and never been(so I guess we were in San Diego now). She had bright blue died perfectly short and chopped hair and blue colored-contacts eyes. We all got off the elevator and I woke up.
