YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Researchers are tracking what is believed to be the largest shark ever tagged by OCEARCH in the southwest Atlantic, with its last pings off Florida’s east coast.

The white shark, named Contender, was originally tagged on Jan. 17, 2025, approximately 45 miles off the coast of the Florida-Georgia border and has generally traveled southward along the Gulf Stream.

According to biologists, the shark is nearly 14 feet long and weighed an impressive 1,652.8 pounds when researchers found it.

The shark’s tag will transmit real-time data to researchers, providing insights into his movements and behavior over the next several years.
