Panama City Beach -
A rare Great White Shark sighting on the Gulf Coast, this one actually caught in the surf near Panama City Beach.
According to the Dark Side Sharkers fishing club, Derrick Keeny caught this 9' 8 1/2" Great White Sunday, March 1st.
They snapped a few pictures, tagged and released the shark.
We found these images on Facebook.

Not saying I'd mess with any Great White, or any shark, much over about 3 ft, but does anyone else think question that 9'-8" length when looking at that bottom pic? Unless those guys are about 4'-6" tall....Or maybe its a shrinkage issue with the cold water?

I'll pass on swimming in anything other than a pool.

You can find the pictures and all the info on Dark Side Sharkers page on Facebook. Those are the guys who caught it.

Top pick is a white, but I don't think the bottom is. Look at the black tip on the dorsal fin

I really don't think those are the same sharks.

This is pretty awesome. Knew we had some in the gulf and I've seen picts of big Sharks being caught in the surf. But this is the first time I've seen a great white caught in the surf, in the northern gulf.

I'm a huge supporter of hunting and fishing, but surf fishing sharks rubs me the wrong way. I know stats about shark attacks and the lack of them exist, but two summers ago in Orange Beach, a group of guys started chumming and surf fishing mid-late afternoon between a beach full of people. They pulled out a six foot black tip and an eight foot hammerhead asking children and families to get out of their way so they could pull it on shore. Needless to say they were not warmly welcomed and eventually left after numerous complaints.
I can accept that I'm in their environment and understand the risk of being there, but to entice sharks and bring them into crowded beaches of family and children is absurd.
