I will take
it that you are conceding on the earlier size claims.

Take what you want. Do a search and you'll see that the max size is 25 or 26
feet, but larger specimens may exist.

By eck, do those buggers ever cross the pond to Blighty?

Here's a photo of a White Shark caught in Italy that measured 7m14cm or
23.43ft

And here's another large one caught off Australia that measured 7m or
22.97ft:

They do exist, although I never hope to encounter one...

Good work, although there are no measurements in the pics you posted.
Also,
those pics are fairly old indicating that GWs of those sizes are rare. I
am
aware of several documented in the 23' range, but none over 25 as
suggested by
Boobs. I'll continue to wait for his proof.

Yes.....
