No, it's not photoshop (and I'd need a new wetsuit) - Ombligo - 06-10-2015
Big Blue is a 20+' Great White, the largest ever recorded on video.

Good question... while sharks are attracted to blood, are they attracted to fear-induced poop ?

I'm hoping it's a shark repellant!
Good lord, that thing is bigger than "bruce" the fictional great white of the movie Jaws.

He looks too full to want another bite.

Perhaps not. Quint and Hooper identified the shark in Jaws as being between 20 and 25 feet long.

Sure, but that shark weighs more than the one in the movie.

Part of why Jaws works so well is the sheer size of the film shark. During the movie, it is described as 25 feet long and weighing 3 tons. Camera tricks are employed to reinforce the enormity of the predator bent on destruction.
In the movie, Jaws is classified as a great white shark. However, Spielberg has stated that the shark was actually based on the megalodon, a much larger prehistoric shark. Researchers believe that the megalodon employed a much more aggressive hunting strategy than the great white, which is more opportunistic in its attacks.

b'man... Benchley's book (and screenplay) had it as a Great White. No question about it. (I read the book one summer on Long Island before the film came out. Kind of freaked me out.)
Benchley DID go on to write a book about an escaped Nazi shark creature, but never wrote about Megalodons.
