Pretty cool situation yesterday off Cape Cod. The Great White Shark “Freeman” that we caught and tagged off Hilton Head last December was spotted by Megan Winton and Greg Skomal off Massachusetts. Not as in pinged in, they were out on the boat tagging sharks and she swam by. They put a GoPro in the water to get some shots and confirmed it was her. Love it!
And Megan was with us when we caught her in December, she leaned over and put the tags on. I’m not sure what the odds are in running into the same exact shark 900 miles from where we caught her, but pretty cool to see.
Thanks to Atlantic White Shark Conservancy for the tags and keeping me in the loop.
