FISHERMEN are asking if this is the massive great white shark that has been stealing their catch, breaching repeatedly within metres of one terrified man's surf ski.

These photographs of the 4.3m monster have been circulating on the internet, but reports from the South African fishing town of Mossel Bay confirm they are no hoax.

Frighteningly, scientists who dissected the female shark say it was adolescent and not yet fully grown, The Daily Telegraph reports.

Still, it had already grown to a weight of around 700kg when it was caught in shark nets off a popular swimming beach on August 31.

Conservation authorities tried to save the disoriented creature by towing it out to sea but it swam back, became entangled again and died.
man who believed it may have been the same shark that breached near his surf ski and stole a barracuda he had been reeling in.

However, scientists said that was unlikely as sharks seldom stay in the same area for long.

They also said it was not the biggest shark ever caught in the area.

A 4.7m great white weighing 1.1 tonnes was caught off nearby Richards Bay in 2002.

I love how they call themselves Conservation Authorities when they go out and kill these animals.

Boo hoo, the shark stole your fish. No you stole the sharks fish, remember the shark lives in the ocean not you.

It is only a matter of time before the humans totally destroy this planet and kill everything on it.

Humans are the cancer of the Earth. Multiplying and consuming everything until the host is dead.

I love how they take photos of it and hang it up like a trophy.

Funny, they don't hang dead people out for photos....maybe if they started doing that, people would look at it a little differently.
