For over a month, the Atlantic’s Great Whites weren’t giving Captain Chip’s chum any attention. Skeptical, and driven nuts by an ineffectual 40 hours of chumming, he fed the ocean his mix of fish guts and blood once again. And to his disbelief, they tagged the largest great white ever tagged in the Atlantic Ocean—approximately 2,600 pounds, and “almost as wide as the boat.”

The great catch did not come alone. Six others were caught, and four total were tagged, according to the captains Facebook page, Outcast Sport Fishing. Pictures of the mighty whites were posted posing in their best Jaws impersonations.
