Warrick Harris was fishing several miles off the coast of New Zealand when he found a female shark barely alive, trapped in his net. A New Zealand marine scientist with the Conservation Department said that it was the largest shark he had ever examined, weighing over 3,500 pounds and about 15 feet long. The average size of great white sharks around New Zealand is less than 10 feet. Harris is trying to sell the sharks jaws and fins to collectors.
“‘Jaws’ was the exact reaction, really,” Harris said. “It was quite unbelievable. (I) just couldn’t get over the sheer size of it.”
