Off the Anna Maria city Pier, (south side of Tampa Bay) some guy years ago caught about a 28 foot great white.
They killed it and still have a fiberglass model of it there.
Cool, when was that?
There are large great whites. None that big. 28 foot? That is a baby megaladon.
I was standing (throwing lures) waist-deep in that channel on the south end of Anna Marie and my nephew (et al) witnessed a fairly large shark pass directly behind me. I didn’t even know it was there and I heard some yelling, turned around and there were several people standing on the beach pointing and yelling shark! shark! Then I saw the dorsal.
A slightly different ending would have been a great fish story from a one-legged man. I am guessing that shark wasn’t particularly hungry that afternoon...
