Official GWS Thread

There were some bigguns on the heli footage using the nearby boat for reference in the images.  Over 10' for sure.

The ones that have been attacking beachgoers in South Carolina are either GWS or Bull sharks in the 6-10' range. They'll bite your arm off whether they're 6' or 20'. I feel like there's more potential to get attacked by a juvenile than a large OG shark. Them babies gotta be a little more curious I would think

I think if they want people to come to the beaches they should stop flying helicopters over them.

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, I didn't want to look through 49 pages.

Juvenile GWS target fish.  Transition to marine mammals as teenagers....12-14 foot range.

If anyone want to try their luck fighting one on a rod and reel, use live mackerels!  jk, I know it's illegal since they are endangered.

Looks like we got some northern rookery going on. You SC butt hunters are some brave/foolish folk

Sounds like their numbers are rebounding quite fast!

   Maybe it's time for a 'slot limit' on them or a C&R only type situation ...  sleigh ride!

Diving albion today in 30ish feet of water at mid column I see a seal swim right underneath me. A few seconds later I see a shark tailing it. I'd guess 9-10 ft.

Yikes!  Better the furbag than u!

I came across this pup at the Santa Cruz wharf on 7/3.  It was alive but barely breathing.

saw this on Fb today
