Twenty-foot great white shark breaches near Rocky Point on Sunday

The Westerly from Long Beach Sportfishing was getting ready to anchor just inside the red buoy near Rocky Point, near the Palos Verdes Peninsula when a great white shark launched itself out of the water in front of a group of startled yet fascinated passengers. “It (great white shark) was a 20 footer and it jumped a good 12-15 feet out of the water,” said Captain John Ackley on board the Westerly. “About half of our passengers on board saw it; all I can saw is that they were in awe.”

Ackley pointed out that there was lots of bait in 140 feet of water where the shark breached. “We could see a huge bait ball of anchovies where the shark had been. I saw a splash or what I thought might have been a whale spout out of the corner of my eye,” said Ackley. “As we got closer to the bait ball, the shark just launched itself out of the water. I have never seen anything like it before in my life.”

In addition to lots of bait swimming around the red buoy near Rocky Point, there were also a lot of divers in the water. “There were a lot of divers in the water looking for bugs (lobster) I think,” said Ackley. “If they would have seen what we all just saw, they sure as hell wouldn’t be in the water for much longer.”

After the shark jumped out of the water, it causally swam towards the Westerly and then turned slowly back towards the bait ball.
