NEWS RELEASE: Carcharodon Carcharius
Early
this month aboad Capt. Reel Doc's vessel the "Si Como No?",
while fishing between Bush Point and Lagoon Point of the west
side of South Whidbey Island a GREAT WHITE SHARK was caught.
The
Great White, an approximately 13 year old juvenile fish was captured
by local angler Hilde Mott, who was trolling a chocolate chip
cookie on a 9/0 hook. Ms. Mott was so excited by her catch she
took it home and named it. No scale large enough to weigh the
fish was available, but length was estimated by marine scientist
Harry Rich, Jr. at almost 6 feet (and still growing).
