Largest male great white shark 'Contender' returns to waters off Florida's coast in time for Spring break

In recent days, Contender has pinged several times along the Florida coast. The most recent was on Thursday afternoon, in the waters just north of Jacksonville.

At the time of his tagging, Contender was nearly 14 feet long, and estimated to weigh 1,653 pounds, according to OCEARCH.

OCEARCH scientists estimated Contender to be about 32 years old when he was tagged.

Dozens of white sharks like Contender spend their winters and early spring days around Florida in search of food. ...........

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

The sightings or 'pinging' of Great Whites seem to be more prevalent this year than in past years.  :shrug:

In the book, Benchly specified the big shark was a female Great White shark....and the Marine Biologist was killed by the shark after he banged the Police Chief's wife.
