An expedition crew has hauled up””and released””what the team says is the biggest great white shark yet caught.
The 17.9-foot-long (5.5-meter-long) male behemoth was found off Mexico’s Guadalupe Island in fall 2009.
The animal breaks the team’s previous record of 16.8 feet (5.1 meters), set when they caught a female great white named Kimel.
