As you are all familiar with, the fact that Great white sharks have sexual dimorphism, which means that females are usually quite larger than male counterparts.
The "largest" great white shark (agreed by scientific community) would be Ledge Point 1984 with a female of 597 cm TL, which is, don't get me wrong, HUGE.
But what I am about to say may sound weird, I actually think there might be 2 larger MALE sharks both measured and have good enough remains saved to be considered "reasonable".

In Alessandro De Maddalena book, Mediterranean Great white sharks. There is one individual in particular that caught my eye. It's a 620cm TL great white shark caught by Italian fisherman.

The both weight given and sizes of pectoral fin and caudal fin seem to correspond to the given measurement.

Therefore, the largest female and male great whites are about the same size?

I wouldn't say that, really, even tho it appears that way. It's proven that females are larger than males, so the only explanation I have is that there are some females who are probably larger and heavier. (and there are few if we take into consideration a few individuals with a grain of salt).

What I found interesting about those individuals caught in Italy, is that they mostly appear to be lengthy but very skinny, now I don't know if those are young sharks, but they weight seems very low.
For example.

Recently discovering that one of the most effective ways of estimating the size of an animal with a person as a reference is by the width of the shoulders. I was looking at these photos of the specimen captured in Mallorca in March 1969. It looks like it could be at least 6 meters long in the measurement of TOT? If you notice the man in the white shirt at the shark's feet, it's just some math when the length of the shark is the same as the width of the man's shoulders?
