Great White!
The most incredible great white shark study ever undertaken premiers on the National Geographic Channel on November 16. Here's an exclusive sneak peek.
 Chris Fischer and marine scientist Dr. Michael Domeier lead a team of researchers off the coast of Baja, California. The crew uses rod-and-reel fishing techniques, modified to accommodate the hefty 4,000-pound great whites, to get the fish into the boat.
The process is documented in Expedition Great White, which premiers on Monday, November 16th, at 9:00 pm on the National Geographic Channel.

The caudal fin on this female looks pretty beat up. I noticed too that you are not using chaffing gear on the line around the caudal fin. Please try to minimize the damage to the sharks.

12 ga shotgun 00 buck = no shark what good are sharks they eat people right
Fantastic pictures of a magnificent animal these guys are lucky to be among a small group of people to get so close to a near perfect killer.
This is why i stay out of the salt water, Anything with fins that are taller than me and can eat me without even knowing freak me out.
Dennis B. R u serious?!! Instead of cracking an RC Cola and a Moonpie...try cracking a book. You're exactly the reason there are so many jokes about backwoods hicks!
dennis b you are stupid the oceans would be screwed if it were not for sharks they are part of nature and they are able to help conserrve the amount of fish and the amount of each species
I can't wait to see how they catch these sharks. I know they are frequently caught on rod and reel, but it must be a lot like catching an underwater bulldozer. I've caught sharks up to 500 lbs and that got to be sort of like work after a while---I can't imagine a double grander great white.

Isn't he taking blood a little too close to the biting end? I think I'd be doing it a wee bit further back.
Cant wait to see the show. And yes Dennis B. you are a dummy!
I am in awe. It must take great courage to do a study such as this. I myself would probably not be able to stand being on the sea, much less having such a close encounter with a Great White Shark. However, I think it would be a very moving and life changing experience to do so. I also must express my gratitude toward the fishermen's humane practices. So many times I have heard and felt disgust over the practices of shark fishermen. Just last week I watched a show on Animal Planet that showed how some fisherman would catch a shark, cut of it's fins and throw it back. What I saw troubled me and I am glad to see the humane practices of this trip.
That guy on the forklift has some major big ones.
