It's pretty rare to see a great white shark in South Florida, but it does happen.

It's even rarer to catch one and reel it in!!

A high school baseball team was on a fishing boat in South Florida when exactly that happened!

It took four players over two hours to reel the shark into the boat.

Since great whites are protected, the shark was released so yay! Happy ending!

The 1,000-pound, 10-13ft shark was the largest the ship captain had ever caught in his 30 years of fishing!

Check out the video (above) to see the boys trying to reel in the beast!!

This is so so sad!!

Adam Strange, a 46-year-old filmmaker and father-of-one was killed when he was attacked by a Great White off the coast of New Zealand.

Auckland's Muriwai Beach is a popular tourist spot and was crowded on the day that a huge shark pulled Adam under water.

He was swimming in the ocean when a large shark suddenly attacked him.

The state government of Western Australia has set out tuna as bait for great white sharks in the area.

They're hoping to catch the man eaters who have already killed several people this year, most recently, George Thomas Wainwright, who we previously mentioned, was a young Texan living and working in Australia.

His father said:

George Wainwright, a Texas man working for Oceaneering International, spent most of his free time either fishing or diving.

It was on one of these dives when he was attacked and killed by a great white shark.

His friends were on their boat when suddenly they say a large amount of bubbles rise to the surface. The bubbles were followed by the mutilated body of their friend.

His uncle, Jay Wainwright, said:

"He was a great young man and was just always happy. He was so well loved by everyone. I don't think I ever saw him have an ounce of hate in him."

Officials have ordered the shark to be hunted down and killed.

This is the third great white shark fatality in the past two months in Western Australia.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Wainwright family.

Ohhh man! So scary!

But it's okay, our Silver Fox is here to protect us! HA!

Anderson Cooper met up with a gentleman that they call the Shark Man — a man who dives with great white sharks without protection.

He chooses his sharks carefully, but still, they aren't the most predictable creatures, and we're totally worried for this guy. He's tempting his fate with creatures that he can't stop if they decide to eat him!

Anyway, if you love sharks, you'll love this 11 minute video with the Coop and Shark Man!!

(Sounds like a super hero team!)
