June 24, 2014 — Heading to Cape Cod this summer? You’re going to need a bigger boat. On Monday morning a fisherman captured video of what he described to Boston Magazine as a 16-18-foot Great White shark off the coast of Cape Cod.
A spokesperson for the Division of Marine Fisheries of Massachusetts told Boston.com that John Chisolm, a marine fisheries biologist for the state, confirmed that the video depicted a Great White.
Captain Tyler Macallister and his crew members spotted the massive female shark while fishing for tuna in Cape Cod Bay. “That is a huge white shark, dude,” Macallister said as he filmed from the side of his boat, the F/V Cynthia C. “This thing’s got to be 18 feet long.”
