Some follow up on the Shark...
I went to Home Depot to pick out a rubbermaid type can to base this around, and was actually aiming for one in dark green - to make a Garbage Gator!
I threaded the back bag onto the bottom of the can, after drilling holes, with a heavy duty wire-containing vinyl clothesline. The disc pouch is a cushioned laptop bag I found cheap in a wholesale store. It seemed about the right size, and already had the putter pocket look going. I made sure the loops to support the shoulder strap were primarily supported by the can itself instead of the bag.
If I were to do another, I'd be really really tempted to use one of the Discraft ace race weekender bags on the end, as there is a drink holder, putter pouch, better storage than the laptop bag. As it is, I can fit about 4 discs - Star, DX shark(s), mako of course. I guess a stalker or predator would fit the theme... so would a hammerhead, but who has one of those?
Consider this - your weekly casual round gathers up to flip for pairs... you're the odd one out this week, so... yupp, you're playing shark - (don't bring it back empty!)
Anyway, I'm having fun using it for Shark rounds cleaning a local pack in/pack out course. Fredericksen Wilderness has decided against placing full time G. cans, because they don't want to entice any local bears to the place - plus the hike in access would make hauling it all out weekly or monthly a bear in itself.

This is really a great idea. Thanks for sharing the details of how you pieced it together so other people (Myself included) can make their own.

You should do it because you want to, not as a punishment.

Yes, please stop doing the right things until you have the right reasons. How dare you.

Since we've traveled down this road, I'll pull us back to disc golf with a similarity to the DX Prianha stamp.
Now, that's awkward.

Monty - you'll see the Shark most often at Fredericksen - pulled a whole sharkfull out this morning. However the place is cleaner now than ever. It works best for courses without full time cans.
Garbage can on a shoulder strap, that you can play a round out of, beats dragging a jangly clanky drippy trashbag anyday.

I'm a veritable fount of knowledge.
Or at least a knowledge transfusion. Sucking the useful information out of your head and replacing it with undesirable crap. Kind of like a transfusion that gives you Hep C, or something.

That's a fascinating question. I'd have to say yes they bite because they want to eat. But they also bite because they are forced to bite in order to survive.
Now that fairway shark has pretty teeth, dude
And he shows how, to pick up trash
Just three discs has WestSoundBT, dude
But he cleans the fairways, cleans them in a flash.
