Frank Mundus (1925-September 10, 2008) is a sport fisherman at Montauk, New York who is said to be the inspiration for the character Quint in the movie and book Jaws. Up until his death, he chartered out his boat "Cricket2" for those seeking the thrill of big game fishing. In many respects, "Cricket2" resembles the Orca as depicted in Jaws the film.

Intersting! I didn't know that. A funny story that popped in my head is whenever I'm out on my Sevylor alone I think of a shark like jaws coming up behind me. Well I guess you can say it's more of a scary story rather than funny :x
