attended UCSB but never finished, caught herpes and never stopped itching downstairs since
Go for a snorkel with it and let us know how you feel about "'massive" after
Fisherman friend caught a male white in his net recently in that size range, probably a little smaller. It didn't have the submarine girth of a big mama, but it was sharp and sleek and pointy and spooky and a few miles from a popular surf spot. The gonads were like 3-4 feet long. He tied off the tail from the boom and hoisted it partially out of the water, cut it out of the net and also video'd it swimming away. It was totally massive and his little-ish boat was dwarfed by the thing. So gnarly and some serious fisherman skillz.
I'm not joking here. 17' is massive if that is for real.Starved for news?
17' massive?
Really?
The news and documentary stories always say 20' but that is total bullshit.
A big one is over 10'-15'.
A 17' is a real big one.
All points North of Mugu to Hollister Ranch are going to be firing on all points.
SCUBA dive regularly with pretty big Makos. (Marrajo = local name). Nothing near that size, but I'd be honored to be in the water with such a specimen. If it eats you, c'est la vie.... But chances are, it won't as you haven't the proper body fat percentage... (At least I sure don't, struggling to keep >15%).
As far as size goes, I know there's record of larger ones being caught....
'Cojimar Monster' just to name one example:
You are aware that these animals can reach 80 years of age, right? And that for the most part the "giants" caught so far haven't exceed ~20 years old?
Personally, imho, there are much bigger beasts out there, they're just too smart to get captured.
I'd be willing to bet that island off of SA has a few beasts that break the 25 foot barrier.

I'm just reading The Devil's Teeth for a bit of fun. The experts seem to think the biggest ones hang out around the Farallones. They explain some stuff about how the SA and Aus ones don't get quite as big as the ones that visit there. Yada, yada, yada...
Starved for news?
17' massive?
Really?
That's massive enough to sh!t my pants twice over.
You know how it knows you don't have enough body fat? By taking a very tiny and delicate nip, enough to leave your bowels hanging.SCUBA dive regularly with pretty big Makos. (Marrajo = local name).

mind you, nowhere and in no way, am I inferring that a 17'er is not a BIG FISH. It is.
But MASSIVE?
20+ Is where massive starts me thinks.
Besides, where's the "news" story here...
"Shark in the Ocean, story at 12"?
Where He at Taco Bell waiting on a drive thru order? Now THAT'S news!
