Commercial Fishermen Accidentally Net 2,000-Pound Great White Shark
by Gayne C. Young


A great white shark of nightmare proportions was accidentally netted in the Sea of Cortez Sunday by two commercial fishermen. The kraken measured almost 20 feet in length and weighed around 2,000 pounds. The two fishermen, identified only as Guadalupe and Baltazar, were fishing on a boat that measured only two feet longer than the shark.

Despite the fact that the predator was dead when hauled in, the two fishermen still admitted to being shocked. Guadalupe told Pisces Sportfishing’s Tracy Ehrenberg, "We were amazed and immediately realized that we had a huge, dead, great white shark, and then we thought what are we going to do?”

To put the size of this leviathan into perspective, consider that a 2012 Chevy Suburban measures 18.5 feet in length, roughly a foot and a half shorter than the shark. At 2,000 pounds, the shark’s weight is equal to approximately 10 American males. The shark was so big it took 50 people to drag it onto the beach.

White sharks were once considered rare in the Sea of Cortez, now marine biologists believe it to be a nursery for the species. Rarities aside, Pisces Sportfishing reports that fishermen in the same area caught a 990-pound white shark last month.

Giant shark kills bodyboarder in S Africa
07:51 Fri Apr 20 2012
AAP
A 20-year-old bodyboarder has been killed by a giant shark estimated at up to five metres long that bit off his leg in a Cape Town bay, in South Africa's second deadly mauling this year.

David Lillienfeld's brother, Gustav, tried to pull him to safety when the shark struck while the siblings were bodyboarding, Eyewitness News website reported on Thursday.

"The deceased man sustained complete amputation of his right leg, below the hip, while body boarding with his brother and friends," said National Sea Rescue Institute spokesman Craig Lambinon.

"There are no other bite marks or lacerations on the deceased man's body - only the complete amputation of the right leg and the leg has not been recovered."

Witnesses reported a single shark, thought to be a Great White and measuring four to five metres, attacked the man. They said up to six sharks were spotted after the incident at a popular surfing and bodyboarding site in False Bay.

The South African man's body was recovered off rocks on the shore after he was hauled to shore, said Lambinon.

City officials confirmed the fatal attack at Kogel Bay Resort, near Gordon's Bay, about 50km from the city centre, in the eastern stretch of the large bay.

The attack is the latest shark blow for the top tourist city after a British man lost parts of both legs at Fish Hoek in September, after he ignored warning flags on a beach that had been closed due to shark activity.

Officials are mulling a trial shark net for Fish Hoek, a popular swimming beach where three attacks, two deadly, have taken place.

To counter attacks due to regular shark presence, the city also uses a unique shark spotting program which monitors for sightings of the apex predators.

Last week, coastal authorities warned beachgoers around the tourist town of Knysna that sharks were moving into the area, feeding on the remains of a whale that had run ashore about 400km east of Cape Town.

A shark research permit for a National Geographic documentary being filmed in the area was cancelled after the attack.

The attack is the second shark fatality along South African shores this year after a swimmer was killed in waist-deep water at Second Beach in the rural Eastern Cape in January.

most articles mention that they don't fancy eating humans .. but they mistake us for sea lions while surfing ... that's why they bite to taste,.. but don't eat the rest.
