Default Great Whites can't jump

I was telling Scott today about a show a saw on TV last night about Great Whites breaching to catch seals. This is one of those clips that say $h!t, glad that wasn't me.

Yep, when you are going 30 knots straight up towards water's surface.. you are gonna JUMP baby!
Anyone ever seen a kingfish or a tarpon skyrocket? That's impressive too, but not quite as much.

I like how the shark tweaks it out at the end. First, he sticks the move. Then, he adds a little style right before he sticks the landing.

It looked more to me like his kite was falling out of the sky and he got worked head-first!!! I bet his "neck" hurt after that wipeout...

Any guesses on that shark's weight?

White Shark Stats.
Fork length Weight in pounds
16 3,300
15 2,700
14 2,175
13 1,725
12 1,350
11 1,025
10 775


I am guessing at least 1500 pounds! YIKES
