In fact, fishing for a great white shark is not the first time. According to foreign media reports, in 2015, Robertson, a fisherman in Auckland, New Zealand, caught a great white shark while fishing near the whitemata wharf.
It is reported that at that time, the fisherman and his family were fishing near the wharf. In the 2.5-meter-deep water, Robertson suddenly felt that a fish had bitten the bait. His uncle insisted that it was kahawai fish, but he didn't expect it to be a huge surprise.
It was reported that Robertson handed the fishing rod to his more experienced brother, and the great white shark suddenly jumped into the water, revealing a sharp fangs. My brother said, 'at first I thought it was a strange whale with a huge body. I shouted to the other three people and quickly pulled the fishing rod out of the water. Then I immediately confirmed that it was a great white shark. Its abdomen was very white and its teeth could be seen in its mouth. "
It is reported that in order not to hurt the great white shark, Robertson and others dragged the anchor and then drove the ship back. Yan said, 'I don't want to kill or hurt it. Therefore, if I put the boat close to it, I can cut the fishing line in its mouth, which can increase its chances of survival. But the great white shark jumped up again and the fishing line broke. "
