Michael Schleisser is a famous big-game hunter and taxidermist Michael Schleisser went on a fishing expedition in Raritan Bay on July 14, 1916. The men caught the man-eating white shark in their trawling net and ultimately killed the animal. When Schleisser cut the shark open, he discovered human bones and flesh inside the shark's stomach.
