warnie Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) Hi all...... Just to help put in perspective to the size of this great white that has been mentioned i thought i would mention a few things in regards to what was witnessed by those aboard Tantrum... When this shark was first seen surfing down the waves to the back of the boat the first expression given was 'OH MY GOD'.... and after casualy as you may.....accepting the offering's of the blue shark it was then teased further closer to the boat with the remaining stub of tail and rope that remained from that shark... were upon this giant then lifted its head and shoulders out from the the water were those onboard were able to pat this giant on the head....as this was all happening there were able gauge a few observations... against the known length of there own boat they were able to asertain its length to of a consevative 22 feet long...and approx 3,000 lbs in weight with a girth equal to a well known expression of like a V dove...... the teeth were around 50mm long and 60mm wide.... the spacing alone between the teeth was around 10-15mm the comment was made that the head felt that hard!!!!!!!!!!!!! that if you were to hit it with a sledgehammer it would only bounce off..... it all so displayed battle scars behind the dorsal not unlike those experianced after mating....who would want to get close and personal with him ( or her) defy's belief...... the shark remained swimming around the boat for approx 1 hour Truly a sight that a lot of us would of dearly loved to of witnessed first hand although admittably not from a trailerboat...this shark (presumably this shark) then paid visit to another boat sunday morning on the shelf directly in front of the heads sniffed around said hello to the terrified crew and then moved on.... if any shark is to be able to take the name of "JAWS'..... then you would all have to agree that this one sure sounds deserving of it....

Bruce the Postie Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 22 ft , 3000lb!!!! sounds like a big shark , but it's still only a tiddler compared to the one that lives down the end of my street in Tuggerah Lake.(only joking ) Seriously, thats a bloody BIG noah !!!!!!!!!

reelmagic Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) Crew of More Charisma, who fished the comp got one mako on saturday and left at 12.30 on Sunday. Also confirmed that these guys know there fish and are excellent at what they do! The sight of such a fish is precious and would be quite overwhelming. We had had only one white (which ended up being hooked), but our estimates were about 14-15 feet with a weight of ???????, but it eat a bait being wound in took off and peeled 250-300m on 24 at sunset before straightening the hook!I will try and find a pic of the 14/0 sea master and post. I can't start to imagine what that thing would have been like. WOW! dale, reel magic Edited July 30, 2008 by reelmagic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnivore Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I also have video footage of a White of similar size to the one seen by tantrum It happened about 6 years ago on the shelf off Port Hacking. Was one of my most memorable experiences. To see an AWESOME fish like that just swimming around the boat is something you cant explain. Even the footage doesn't do it justice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
