Massive Great White

More information:
 In the book "Mediterranean Great White Sharks: A Comprehensive Study Including All Recorded Sightings" from 2015, the authors present a list of many white sharks, sadly many are contradictory and some are estimations. The longest was 587 cm "actually" measured from Tunisia (estimated weight at 2,000 kg) and the heaviest a female of 2,300 kg from Spain (total length of 500 cm). Here is the picture of the longest female:

There are other especimens of 600 cm but are just estimations. There is a story of one of 670 cm but other report of the same animal says it was 570 cm, weight at about 2,032 kg.

This other source says that while the longest specimens in European museums probably measured up to 600 cm, the longest completelly reconstructed was of 589 cm in total length:

In the book "Sharks The Animal Answer Guide" from 2014, there is a part dedicated about the size of the white shark, check it out:

Finally, the statements of the FAO in this book of 2001:

It seems that about 6 meters long and about 2,000 kg is about the maximum that a white shark can get. Reply
