Great White off Cornwall? Quick, throw in more divers! Am a gonna get me a fishin'!!! ;)

But seriously, are we really surprised or bothered? Great Whites inhabit the Med and the Atlantic so why should they not be off Cornwall?

Just my tuppence worth.

Hi Mike,

Agreed.......................

I think the positive thing about this news article is that it actually paints the Shark in a more positive light and sends a good message about preserving these beautiful creatures..........

Which is more than i can say for ITV news last night, they were celebrating the catch of a porbeagle, and saying "it is now safe to return to the waters"

I appreciate one is a state and the other national, and dogs are all over the place but the time frame alone says alot.

Plus im sure the dogs are doing us a favour....;)

Im quite surprised that every fisherman in a 100 miles radius is not hunting this shark.

You bound to get some tw*t, trying to get the lime light by killing this poor thing.

Anyway there is a up side; I don’t have to go all the way to South Africa to do my “Shark Speciality” now, I can go to Cornwall Hoo Arr
