This great white circled our 21ft boat for 20 minutes and made contact with the boat (slapped its tail on the boat). We were about 25 miles southeast of Wrightsville Beach.

Here is a Great White Shark just off the North Carolina Coast. The guys are cussing, but it's still amazing to look at.

18 foot shark and a 21 foot boat? I think they’re going to need a bigger boat...

Must have been using good bait to attract that thing!

The first thing I thought about is how I would prep and cook an 18 footer, and how many it would feed. Made me smile a little

I'll need lemons for garnish. Probably 50 lbs..

Mankind rocks when a little guy cook (former engineer) can think about eating the top predator of the sea.

Opposable thumbs and tools are cool.

We have seen them all. Smithsonian, History Channel....,
Ho humm. Yep, they are there. What is the big deal?

My Uncle caught a Sailfish with one hand jumping over his boat. Was in Ripley's Believe It Or Not. Now that had to be exciting.

Lucky he was a well-fed but otherwise friendly shark. Can you imagine what’d happened if he was hungry and unhappy?

It’s especially dangerous 25mi offshore.
