The surprised captain, who claims to have been doing tours every day for 20 years, said it is the second time they have found a great white shark. The first time was about 15 years ago.
Through social networks, Rinehart Taxidermy reported that the estimated weight of the female shark was 600 pounds and that it measured around 100 inches.
Due to the weight of the animal, it took the strength of three adult men to carry the shark to the boat. They then removed the hook and released it back into the sea again.
