Is this the biggest great white ever caught? Brave diver high fiving 20-foot-long shark called Deep Blue at Mexico's Guadalupe Island - Incredible photos show one of the largest great white sharks ever an enormous, more-than-20-foot-long creature named Deep Blue. The massive predator was first featured in August by the Discovery Channel in a documentary when researchers tagged the gigantic fish. One of the researchers involved in the effort, Mauricio Hoyos Padilla, discovered footage from the excursion in his computer this week, GrindTV reports. The shark, believed to be at least 50 years old, is seen on the pictures beside a roofless cage near Mexico's Guadalupe Island. In addition to her massive size, the shark is recognizable by her many scars. After researchers tagged the animal, she led them to an elephant seal colony - a typical meal for an adult great white shark. Divers and shark enthusiasts from across the world travel to Guadalupe to view great whites in the island's water. Padilla told GrindTV that fall is the prime time for shark sightings at Guadalupe. Great whites, the largest predatory fish on earth, typically grow to 15 feet in length, with some, like Deep Blue, exceeding 20 feet in length and weighing up to 5,000 pounds, according to National Geographic.
