DISCLAIMER: You never see the shark in this video and I know that sucks. You’re going to have to take my word for it. Still wanted to post because this was one of the most terrifying and exciting moments of my life!
I hooked into a juvenile white shark while fishing a bounce ball for halibut using a live jack mackerel. When I initially hooked it I could tell it was a big, but had no idea how big. After it towing me around for few minutes it turned and came towards the kayak and it came right across the bow. I was in utter shock but clearly saw a ~10ft juvie great white. The line got caught underneath it at that point and it rolled on the surface. Dorsal and tail fin in clear view! Then shortly after that we got the following video going

I was about to freak out thinking you found the first great white in UK waters, until I saw the California’ tag in the comments 🤣
