Great White spotted off Cornwall?
This footage was caught by fisherman Nigel Hodge around 20 miles out to sea from Falmouth. The film was reviewed by shark expert David Turner, who told The Sun: “The most likely candidate is a great white.” However The Telegraph’s expert has taken the polar opposite opinion declaring “a hundred percent not a white shark, but clearly a young basking shark evidenced by the shape, position of its fins and various other traits.”
Who do you believe?

Sensationalist reporting by the mail, shoddy journalism.
1Yeah, unfortunately for the sun it’s. Definitely a basking shark so unless your small as plankton and krill a I wouldn’t worry. So luckily for us surfers we can crack on.
