__---Was the movie "JAWS" based on a Montauk Fisherman?---__

- Did you know that a Montauk fisherman partially inspired the movie Jaws? The unforgettable character Quint, played by Robert Shaw, in the 1975 blockbuster was based on Frank Mundus, a sports fisherman from Montauk who chartered out his boat “Cricket II” for big game fishing and thrill seekers.
