I’m working on some future content and looking for historic shark photos of great whites makos and porbeagles that were caught in the Gulf of Mexico. This would also include taxidermy and shark jaws.
Looking back at a history of these sharks in the Gulf is important and I am trying to catalog as much of this as possible. Shark photos really help in awareness raising and can help teach valuable lessons in how we manage sharks now versus 50 years ago.
I’m also lookiing for any stories of anglers seeing or catching great white, makos, porbeagles, large tiger sharks, extra large bulls and lemon sharks.
I would also like photos of taxidermy, jaws or teeth from the above species that you might have in family archives or an old collection.

Don’t Forget Our Sightings Database
Have you ever encountered a great white sightings in the Gulf of Mexico? Whether it’s a vivid memory from years ago, a stunning photograph from a recent dive, or even a second-hand story passed down through generations, we want to hear from you!
At Gulf Great White Sharks, we’re building an exciting new Great White Shark Sightings Database that spans decades to document the presence of these magnificent predators in the Gulf. From historic encounters to modern-day sightings, your contributions will help us paint a complete picture of great white activity in the region.
Why Your Contribution Matters
Great white sharks play a critical role in the marine ecosystem, yet much about their behavior in the Gulf of Mexico remains a mystery. By compiling sightings from as far back as possible, we aim to uncover patterns, migration routes, and even changes in their behavior over time. Every piece of evidence — no matter how small — can provide valuable insights for researchers and conservation efforts.
