Atlantic Ocean’s largest tagged great white shark emerges off Massachusetts

So in this summer where we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of Jaws, the biggest shark, biggest shark ever tagged in the Atlantic as swimming on off an island with a lot of tourists. Shark's name is Contender. That island is Nantucket. Place you know and love. He was pinged first VB up the Florida Georgia border in January. So he's made like the the thousand mile hike up the coast. And this is all according to O Search by the way. They tag and monitor sharks. They tell us contenders 32 years old old for a shark. and weighs 1600 pounds and is a very big boy and very hungry. >> We seemingly end up talking about the movie Jaws every week as it should be. >> As it should be, right? >> I think Contender knew what was going on and wanted the free PR. >> Well, it's his first time ever being up this far. But I, you know, a couple years ago, I remember going to Hershey Park for the first time in my life. And I got there and I'm like, where have you been my whole life? Why did it take so long? That's what that shark must be thinking when it gets to Nantucket in July. This looks like this could be good, right? I The good news about this is that they have tracked the thing and they've been tracking it and they know exactly what its patterns are and all that sort of stuff. I love in the story, Gene, did you see where the expert said, "If you do come in contact with it though, don't show any fear. It's the biggest shark ever recorded. Don't show any fear." We get back to Jaws Jean. One of the great underrated scenes in there when they first see the shark and he's trying to hook up the barrel and Quint's getting ready to shoot him with the harpoon and Brody goes and gets the pistol and I'm with Brody. I would do that. I know it's not going to do anything, but I'm doing it. >> Yeah. Well, you know, the odds of encountering the shark, like you said, but if he wanted to get true publicity, he should have been off the coast of the vineyard, shouldn't he? I mean, you know, it's nearby little for the 50th. It would have made >> made a wrong turn.
