Massive great white shark detected by researchers off Mississippi coast

A massive great white shark was patrolling the waters just off Alabama’s coast in January — and now, off the coast of Mississippi.
Around the middle of January, the 12-foot, nearly 1,000-pound female shark, known as "Ernst," was detected off the coast of Gulf Shores, Alabama, after her satellite tag pinged, researchers said.
That location a few weeks ago marked one of the westernmost points recorded for a great white shark in the Gulf and was considered unusual behavior, researchers told news agency SWNS.

The ping placed the shark near the Chandeleur Islands, a chain of barrier islands in the Gulf of America off the coast of Louisiana.
Researchers said the shark’s proximity to shore was notable and that it falls outside what they typically observe for great white sharks in the region.

That's very small for a female. Can we just report news without spinning it with click bait adjectives.

If they told her she's 12' she's really about 7'.

Walking around in the water with a stringer of bloodied trout seems less appealing knowing great whites are in the area.

The big girls are between 15-20 feet. But they just had to have a story about a mid-sized female GW and sensationalize it as “massive.” She needed about 6-12 more feet to be made a fuss over.
