I wonder how they knew it was a great white. Teeth marks? Isn't a 10 ft a baby great white?

Is it just me or did anyone else think this guy on his surfboard looked like a REAL BIG Kwuikfish and herring to the shark?

Man I vacation at the spot of the attack. I am not going swimming in those waters again. I knew Seaside had some huge blue sharks but great white.

Never thought of it that way, but I guess it was just a matter of time before the bigger predators came up to join the buffet!

After reading this I had to go Googling.. Notice that the "lure" used to attract the Whites they tagged resembles a surf board. Note to self - Do not surf in areas where seals and Great Whites are present.
