If you go to the researchers who tag the shark they reel it into a boat and then tag it.

I hear most of the taggers are nicknamed "lefty"...

“How does one tag a great white shark?”

Very carefully.

(Sorry, old and corny, but I couldn’t resist.)

Very carefully. If they can flip the thing (1,300 lbs -- doubtful) onto it's back, it will go comatose. Otherwise, maybe with a trank gun?

Very carefully. Seriously, there are cable tv shows showing the flood-able “stage” that the put along side the fishing boat. They hook a shark and work it over to the stage side of the boat, then raise the stage out of the water. They shove a water hose inside the shark’s mouth to keep water flowing over the gills while the researchers apply the tags & remove the hook.
