    I used to know a guy that was a commercial urchin (uni) diver. He was on the South Coast of Oregon, on the bottom picking urchins, and a LARGE shadow crossed over him. Looked up to find he was under a LARGE sized Great White. He was....somewhat motivated to return to the boat. He's the only person I know that has seen one around here. We get basking shark fairly often, cool to see!
    If you go out to blue water, we also get Mako and Thresher. VEEERY tasty, but not something you should kill often if at all.

    Maybe not so much a spoof as we think. Great Whites are confirmed in the Mediterranean (and have been confirmed responsible for a number of attacks in the area. Also, Irish fishermen have made a number of large sharks taking seals all around the southern coast of Ireland. Given the current global rise in sea temperature a confirmed Great White sighting or capture would come as no surprise.

    Hi John.
    Great video as always👍🏻.
    We know you are a superb angler.
    Take on the only challenge that you can’t walk🧐.
    In the next ten years, someone will catch a Great White in UK waters. It will probably be in Cornwall too. Why not you? If you can catch Tuna, you can catch a White Shark. In fact, White Sharks eat Tuna, so fish in the exact spot you caught them.
    Check out “Deep Blue”. It’s a 20 foot female White shark estimated to be 4,400 lbs.
    One day a shark will be bitten in half when your reeling it in. That’s when you know you are close🤣☝🏻.
    Just to let you know, we get Great Whites in Canada, so UK waters will be a breeze for them.
    Cheers🇨🇦👍🏻

      As a surfer along the South Coast, mainly Portsmouth area, Hayling Island, the Isle of White, let me assure you there is certainly a population of migrating sharks along our shores. I have seen huge basking sharks and very odd shaped "basking" sharks many times before. I have even seen a 9ft shark, defo not a basking, in Chichesterharbour area leading out to Langstone. Around Hayling and a west wittering is where I have felt the presence of something big, you feel them long before you see them when in the water.

      @@Lth56 Alaska is colder than England on land but not in the water. Regular Summer currents bring Whities into Alaskan waters for brief periods of time but they follow the warm water right back out again as soon as the temperature starts to drop. Like what I said about rogue warm currents. According to current knowledge on great whites, the ambient temperatures around England are too cold to sustain them, but if a warm current comes in close enough (which is possible especially with climate change), they'll follow it. It happens off the US East Coast every few years, a current comes up from Florida and Great Whites will follow it into areas normally too cold for them. They'll stay until the temperature drops and then go right back out again. It's what caused the true story that actually inspired Jaws.

    Have you ever seen a great white in the waters there? I know last year a few fisherman on boats reported a great white in the waters off our coast in Central New Jersey. They are common off southern California, due to plenty of seals. There have been surfers attacked by them. Personally I dont go bathing in the ocean anymore, never know what may be lurking in the deep.
