Re: Great white off stuart/no pics
A member of the WPB fishing club has a video of what was be determined to be either a Mako or Great White off of The Breakers; taken from his boat, probably 12 years ago.
The shark was feasting on a swordfish; they got their boat between the shark and the swordfish, gaffed the swordfish and brought what was left on board (over 200 lbs of salvageable meat w/ the back 1/3 gone, big swordfish). The shark was so annoyed, it made a run at the transom (Jaws style) and took a nice large chip out of a corner.
Dr Ray Waldner has seen the video, but without a tooth from the shark, he stated it would be impossible for him to determine whether it was a Mako or GW, but that it was definitely one of the two.
Any of you around from the late 90's w/ the WPB Fishing Club will probably recall the video, there was a complete monthly meeting devoted to the video and subsequent discussion.
