FISHERMEN are asking if this is the massive great white shark that has been stealing their catch, breaching repeatedly within metres of one terrified man's surf ski.
These photographs of the 4.3m monster have been circulating on the internet, but reports from the South African fishing town of Mossel Bay confirm they are no hoax.

Bite marks on the mauled shark suggest it was at least six metres long

Dunno if my post is of the same fish... Just thought it was interesting along the same lines... That pic is of a 10 ft Great White with a major bite taken out of it... Whatever the Great White was which took that bite was impressive in it's own right.
Reminds me to step OVER the mud puddles...

From the first picture posted it appears the Loch Ness Monster was finally caught.
The perspective of the picture merges the shark’s body with that curved structure behind. I had to look at the picture several seconds to re-orient back to what it was supposed to be presenting.

Whooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
