28 ft Great Whites likely exist - Hypothesis. the males bite hold of the females pilot and dorsal fins during mating, lining up sex organs. for this to be preferable, he needs to be around two thirds her lenght. they caught and tagged a 5.5 ( 18ft ) MALE on national geographic channel this year. this would put this male's perfect matching at 27 to 28 ft. where there's one 18ft male, there's likely 20 more out there mabye, especially with them being protected.
Great Whites are notorious for showing up "when" you least expect them "where" you least expect them. It is a good thing these people were fishing rather than diving. I spent over 15 years of my life surfing up and down the coast of Florida. With what I know now you could not pay me to go back in the water.
That's absolutely a white! and a fatty!! Just watched another video of an OBX white just 11 miles off of Rodanthe... these may be pregnant females as they're unusually round... scientists don't know a whole lot about the mating and birthing habits of white sharks, and these videos could provide insight as to where Atlantic whites mate or give birth... I live on the OBX... exciting that something like this may be happening right in our backyard!
wow I have to say thats the biggest Great White Ive seen on youtube too bad it wasnt a better video ,but still amazing to see the Leviathans of the deep what a creature .
I am a dumbas as well, watched it again, i see no white at belly. gill slits nearly to top of back, brown color, im thinking basking shark but hard to say from poor veiw. Also notice a guy comments"megamouth" . Look at videos of basking sharks feeding.From this video i dont see how Stanford could say for sure. But Bull shark? C'mon. If the guys on the boat saw white belly then its a white.
Ok, here's the deal with the shark. It is a Great White. We took pictures of it from the boat and the captain sent them to Stanford University to have them confirm it was a Great White.
They told him and I quote:
"It is a Great White, it is a little over 19' long and about 2,400lbs."
At the time we took the video it was the first one seen that far north in the Outer Banks in about 5 years.
We were 25 miles off the coast of South Nags head fishing for Amber Jack and the shark showed up, cir
magnificent creature! that is the largest shark I've ever seen!!! good to know that these apex predators still survive in our oceans and provide the needed balance.
You are an idiot.The largest bull shark ever caught was a preg. female caught in South Africa and it was only 13ft long. The largest tiger shark would have given this shark a run for its money it was caught in 1957 and was a female @ 25ft long but usually not over 15ft. The head of the shark in the vid is shaped like a bullet and both a tiger and a bull are squared so def a white.
That was not a great white, it appears to be a bull shark and not even all that large of one. Go back to Raleigh, ignorant tourons because you are stinking up my beach. Do the world a favor next time, jump overboard with it.
@thesaint252 Lol true, but a bull shark which is one of the most vicious does not make me feel any better swimming out there man ;). Good point out though, that is not not damn great white and they are idiots for that.
@thesaint252 Hey Tard Nugget, we stay away from your beach, your cleaning toilets at minimum wage. Without tourist OBX is lost, there is no industry, there is no income.

That absolutely is a white shark. Not a bull or tiger. look at the torpedo or "lamniform" shape.
VisionXray23 1 year ago
humans are funny. whenever they see a shark they say: "that's the great white"
haha
that's not a great white, that could be a bull shark or a tiger shark(hm, not really but it is a possibility).
but whatever, that shark is wonderful!
