    18-ft Great White filmed off Wrightsville Beach

    The men were 25 miles southeast of Wrightsville Beach when they noticed that the fish stopped biting. They then saw two fins circling their boat."I think it's two dolphins or something -- two dolphins far apart. Those two dolphins turn out to be one giant shark," Matt Garrett told the station.Garrett pulled out his cellphone and captured the shark on video. He said he knew the shark was 18 feet long because it was nearly as long as the 20-foot boat.


    This is the unedited video (adult language):

    Just awesome......I am very envious of all on that boat. I am however not envious of those that have to do their laundry.

    Cool video. I wonder how close he was to "Meg Ledge"? Hopefully, he'll decide to move somewhere else before next summer.
