Description: Mary Lee’s name comes from Chris Fischer’s mother. “My parents have done so much. I was waiting and waiting for a special shark to name after her and this is truly the most historic and legendary fish I have ever been a part of and it set the tone for Cape Cod,“ says Chris.

You can follow her here    http://sharks-ocearch.verite.com

Did you see where she was about 200 yards from the beach down in Florida. The people who monitor her called the local PD to warn them of the location so they could clear the water.  TT^

Awesome!  I was thinking maybe the name was taken from Quint's poem in "Jaws".

"Here lies the body of Mary Lee; died at the age of a hundred and three. For fifteen years she kept her virginity; not a bad record for this vicinity." ;D

Right before Sandy she headed South to Florida and then decided to vacation in Bermuda during the winter.  She is very intelligent.
