We're both wrong-the World Record Mako was over 1220 lbs. and it was caught off Martha's Vineyard.
Great Whites are getting smaller and smaller. Ever since Jaws a lot of fishermen kill them on sight, and others get caught in gill nets. Pollution is an issue too.
The real big ones are females, and they just are not reproducing in the numbers that they used to, nor are they being seen in the numbers that they used to.
It's a shame-probably the greatest predator in the Ocean (maybe with the exception of the Killer Whale), at the top of the food chain, but who knows how much longer they will there.
And I read an article today that said Chimpanzees may be extinct in 50 years. The Lowland Gorilla (Silverback) is in the same boat.
