G Dubs: Scourge of the Sea

As a self proclaimed surfer, fisherman, and watersport enthusiast, any news of G Dubs (aka the Great White Shark) always piques my interest, while at the same time sending a cold chill down my spine as I think of the rows of sharp gleaming teeth, the lifeless, dull eyes, and the millions of years of work that evolution has put into this killing machine.

Anyway...Ten foot great white caught in RI, pretty crazy.

Happy swimming!

We were out by 8 am on Sunday in some super heavy fog. By 9:30, the quarter mile visibility gave way to cloudless skies and the clearest, turquoise water I had seen in a while. We decided not to chum and just chunk to target the tuna. Not much for fish that day, just great company, sun, and plenty of frosty beverages. Early in the afternoon we did have some action. A lone blue first made an appearance with a slow, zig-zag pass clearly visible 50 feet beneath the stern. A few seconds later the shark was swirling at the surface picking out herring chunks. By this time I was scrambling to find the underwater camera and managed to get in a few good shots before one of our live baits started running out. 10 minutes later it was successfully released and the filming of Sharkporn was complete.
