A nearly 10-foot great white shark was caught in the surf at Panama City Beach, Fla.
After reeling in, tagging and releasing the 10-foot shark, the members of Dark Side Sharkers announced their catch on Facebook.
“JUST WANTED TO LET YALL KNOW WE JUST RELEASED A GREAT WHITE SHARK!!!!!!! \m/ DARK SIDE HOLDING IT DOWN,” they wrote on the group’s page.
According to National Geographic, Great Whites navigate mostly by smell, and can sense a drop of blood in water from up to three miles away. They are also considered endangered, even though little is known about their population.
An article by Wide Open Spaces said the anglers spent almost an hour fighting to reel in the creature, and were shocked to find a Great White. The article said it’s one of only four Great Whites ever caught from shore in North America.
