Marine Jeff Fangman just moved to California from the Gulf Coast and thought he'd do some fishing. His wife grabbed their daughter and their camera when he got a bite.

"The line just started rolling off the reel," Fangman told 10News.

Fangman is an experienced shark fisherman, and in the gulf, he has pulled most everything out of the water.

"Bull sharks, tiger sharks, sandbar sharks, lemon sharks," he said.

But this is not the gulf.

"Lo and behold, it ended up being a great white," said Fangman.

He reeled in a young female great white shark. It is the first he has ever caught and to his knowledge, the first ever reeled in from the beach in the United States.


You could only guess that the first ever surf landed great white would be pulled off by a Marine.
