No, we didn't eat them. Just playing with you.

We did used to catch them out by the Farallon Islands when I was in High School though. This was 24 years ago. I gather that it's illegal to kill a Great White, but is it illegal to catch and release it? Is it one of those, you can't target the species deal ?

I searched the regulations for federal atlantic fisheries and found

"A person may fish for white sharks with rod and reel, provided the person releases such fish immediately with a minimum of injury and that such fish may not be removed from the water."
