Unusual sight: Monster Great White caught off KwaZulu Natal coast PHOTOS that are being circulated of a monster Great White shark, taken at Mossel Bay, are not a hoax. And whats more, the massive shark was an adolescent, and was caught off the Dolphin Coast of KwaZulu-Natal.
Yesterday, Craig Harris of Dirty Harry Fishing Charters told The Witness that waters around the north coast are teeming with sharks, including Great Whites. He said previously it would have been unusual to see one Great White every three years, but he has seen four this year already. Harris said he recently witnessed an astounding incident in which an enormous Great White robbed fishermen of their catch.
The Witness tracked down fisherman Gary McLoughlin, who said the incident occurred while he was on his paddleski fishing in the waves of Zinkwazi about three months ago.
We had hooked a barracuda and were fighting it, when a massive Great White shark, about three-and-a-half to four metres in length and weighing between 600 to 700 kg, breached the waves and grabbed the barracuda.

(...) Gary McLoughlin, who said the incident occurred while he was on his paddleski fishing (..) We had hooked a barracuda and were fighting it, when a massive Great White shark, about three-and-a-half to four metres in length and weighing between 600 to 700 kg, breached the waves and grabbed the barracuda. And thus began Gary McLoughlin's epic breaking of the paddleboat speed world record!

Hey guys, this is that area I was telling you about where the diver was diving with his friend and a Great White burst beside him swallowing his friend whole.
I had wondered if he had done something nefarious to his friend, but now I think he was telling the truth.
Good God, it’s just a kid! Remind me to avoid South Africa. I bet Adam and Jamie from Mythbusters are revisiting whether they want to go back in the water in South Africa for anymore shark myths. Sheesh that thing is huge. (but it’s kind of sad it’s dead. Imagine how big it really could have gotten!)

Zero. The bite radius is zero because it is capable of swallowing everything whole, LOL!
