Pretty darn exciting!

The female great white shark was tagged in 2013 by Ocearch, a nonprofit research organization focused on great white sharks and other apex predators.

Betsy, 12 feet long and 1,400 lbs., surfaced off Sanibel & Boca Grande about 60 miles offshore last month on April 25.

A great white shark off Sanibel would definitely be catch and release!  You can read more about Betsy at CaptivaSanibel.com.
