It was apparently caught at El Choyudo, just south of Tastiota, the coordinates show the same rocks as the third photo: 28°19'8.93"N 111°27'17.34"W Last edited on Tue Apr 17th, 2012 06:44 am by Rada |

yeah, I was looking at the rocks and buildings in the background and they do not look familiar (around Kino), but it certainly could be Choyudo...

That is a huge fish. Do you see now why humans are meant for being on land? Two tons of shark coming at you at a top speed of around 15 miles an hour. Ha! I think the next time I am in Kino I'll stick to soaking in the sun on the beach! Spectacular shark, thanks for the pics!

According to this article in El Imparcial, the shark got caught in a net and was dead when the fisherman discovered it. 5 meters long and 1 ton, according to the article. http://www.elimparcial.com/EdicionEnLinea/Notas/Noticias/17042012/585770.aspx Bart

Just wondering. What do you do with a shark like that? I mean is someone going to eat it?

For sue-she: All those folks in the photo are most likely pangueros or subsistence fisherman. Suspect that big shark is all divided up by now.  Here is some more news on this catch: a 20 footer!!! http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/blog/33361/enormous+great+white+shark+hauled+up+by+sea+of+cortez+fishermen/ Last edited on Wed Apr 18th, 2012 10:16 pm by bartmanaz |

Hi Sean, I think I'd use a surfboard with a sharpened 3 prong rock anchor for a hook as a surface jig! Either that, or a whole turkey instead of a Turkey Slider! Here's to swimmin' with bowlegged women!

Does anyone know anything more about this GW shark that was caught in Guaymas? This is pretty sad. A creature that big and amazing sure didn't deserve that. Last edited on Mon Apr 23rd, 2012 02:40 pm by bartmanaz |

It was not Guaymas - but north ( Choyudo ) sp ? ( Near Kino area ) Caught in a net by accident , and dead when hauled in - not much fun for the fishermen as the bureaucrats are all over them , agree sad for the shark and us as it was an awesome specimen . I was at the next village down the coast friday from where it was landed and it was pretty clear to me the locals believed it was an unintentional catch - we don't know if enough of the carcass survived filleting to allow a post mortem to figure cause of death but the authorities were very active from what I was told. Puts a whole new spin on kayaking offshore :-) Last edited on Mon Apr 23rd, 2012 02:20 am by Ian948 |

Just want to ask the old timer, experienced boaters around here, how often in the last 10 years has a big shark been seen in this middle Sea of Cortez area near shore? What would u guess the age of this shark is?
