Pictures of the week - Some large Great Whites .

please note some of these photos are from 30 years ago. 

A 1470kg (3234lb) specimen which was lassoed near Albany, Australia by a West Australian Fisheries and Wildlife Officer.

A photo of a Great White swallowing a whole 2.10 Meters Dusky Shark. The Dusky Shark was hanging at the stern during a fishing competition. This is a photographic proof that a Great White shark can swallow a man whole. (I am 1.80 meters myself., thank god I wasn't hanging by the stern that day.)

How big was the largest Great White Shark caught and measured, and who caught it?

I get this question almost every day so I made a section just for that.
