Seen on the news the other day that some guys caught a great white off the coast of St. Pete. Although I still have never caught a hammer head or a tiger which where on my bucket list. This may intrique you guys, I know it did me.
AWSOME Catch...Yes, 18ft , 3,000lbs...Dont Think So. Maybe A 15 Footer At 1,000lbs+ 
Yeah it's def not that big. Still a bigg shark though.
Regardless of the size I was surprised to see a great white in the gulf
Great Whites Are Here In Florida, Though Normally Offshore Sometimes They Stray Close Enough To Get One On A Boat, Its Getting More Frequent & I Think Its Only A Matter Of Time Until Someone Lands One From Shore, Its Gonna Be A Place Where The Gulfstream Gets Close Enough To Land. ie Palmbeach, Jacksonville Pensacola, Tampa, etc.
