Largest Verified White Shark
The biggest white shark recorded with reliable measurements is a female often cited as "Deep Blue." She is widely recognized as one of the largest great whites ever documented.
Size and Physical Details
Reports estimate her length at around 20 feet (6.1 meters) and her weight at approximately 4,500 pounds (2,050 kilograms). Her size is supported by underwater footage and research observations.
Where and When She Was Documented
Deep Blue has been filmed near Guadalupe Island and other locations in the eastern Pacific. She has been observed for decades, with notable sightings by researchers and documentary crews.
Why Size Records Matter
Verified size records help scientists study growth patterns, age, and the health of white shark populations. They also support conservation efforts by highlighting the scale and rarity of these apex predators.
