Forgive me that these are crappy pics but it happened fast and I didn't have time to adjust the cell phone cam.
I live in SF, 3 blocks from the wharf, and along with guitar pluckin', I've been fishing since............(oh we won't go there), but for the many years I've been out there on the water I've never seen a great white......and the "red triangle" the highest concentration of them on the coast is right outside the Golden Gate. Well, this day was different, I'd been using 2lb mackerel for lingcod bait and after a few short bites and shredded bait I guess there was enough blood in the water to spark the interest of this guy. About 11ft from what I could see when he passed the boat, circled a couple times, and cruised off. I whipped out the cell ph cam a little late so the pics weren't so great but it was kinda exiting.........not NGD exiting, but seeing a killer as close as the tip of your fishing rod get's your blood pumping.
The classic fin shot.
