Remember to stay focused while you fish
OCEAN SHORES, WA
While the ocean vessel 'Dawn Raider' was commercial fishing for dogfish, this Great White was hooked in the mouth but only resisted slightly for 15 minutes before it came up alongside the boat to have a look; long enough for one of the crew members to slip a rope around tail!! And that's when the s**t hit the fan!!! The Shark took off towing the 42 foot fishing boat backwards through the water at about 7 knots! Just like in "JAWS", the boat was taking in water over the stern and the crew watched in horror as the shark would actually jump completely out of the water at times. This went on for an hour before the shark finally drowned. She weighed in at 1035 LBS. It is suspected she followed a weak El Nino current into local waters in search of food. Although mid 60 deg. water is considered ideal for these sharks, the larger ones can tolerate water in the low 50s.

This is a commercial fishing boat and they weren't fishing for great white sharks - why didn't they just cut the line and let the animal go? So they killed a beautiful and majestic predator and got a great photo-op from it but I think the ocean is poorer for it.

on mythbusters they tested the force of a reef shark that weighed 45 lbs and used those numbers to predict the pulling force of a great white... not very accurate if u ask me... this was a 1035 lbs great white, a little different..
and i agree with scrumhalf... sucks they killed it, should have just cut the line

Where is the news story for this? Is it anywhere or was it just posted on some website? A commercial fishing boat is usally a pretty big boat. I dont believe it for a second unless you can find me an article with a reputable source.

Origins: The photographs displayed above and the caption identifying them as photos of a half-ton shark taken during a "Shark Catch in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia" are indeed real.
The female mako shark pictured here was hooked in August 2004 during the Yarmouth Shark Scramble (an annual shark-fishing derby) by 28-year-old Jamie Doucette of Wedgeport, Nova Scotia, who battled the monster fish for 40 minutes before landing it. According to one newspaper account of the event: In a scene reminiscent of "Jaws," the fish tugged the boat sideways [and] surged to the surface near the bow, a mako with a broad head and rows of razor teeth, chewing through steel leader. Doucette reeled it in and other anglers wrapped it in ropes as the shark chewed through the knots. One loop circled its torso, the other the tail; one man leaned over the boat and slit its throat as Jaws thrashed for something to bite. It died 20 minutes later. The shark was officially measured at 10 feet, 10 inches (3.3 meters) and 1,082 lbs. (492 kg), netting $3,000 in prize money for Doucette, who said: I felt bad that we caught her at the prime of her reproductive cycle. When they get to be this massive they call them queens of the sea. I would have let her go if I had been by myself, but it's different when you have four or five other guys on the boat. You've got to win.
