Enormous great white shark hauled up by Sea of Cortez fishermen

Interesting. I believe the full length model shark used for the first Jaws movie was 23ft long.

beast of a fish...the article was unclear...did it die in the net or was it caught dead?

that thing is insane.

Can't wait to go back down in 4 more days...

Oh joy. The best thing to see before a trip there...

The WSB must me stacked up.;)

Wow this is really messed up! They are targeting them now? Those fish 16-20ft long are 60-100 years old. It's pretty crazy how much man can influence their surrounding environments. I wish I could have seen what the sea o Cortez looked like before humans raped it.

GWS are protected in México, authorities are pretty serious about it. Those Jaws / theet cannot be comercialized around here. Mexican people doesn´t like seeing sharks being offered as commodities; the green people are way too aware of black market shark sellings to make a living out of it. Trust me on this. Mexican laws are really hard these days on things that were too common in the past.
