A Hilton Head, South Carolina, charter boat captain caught a 2,500-pound great white shark this week.

The captain, Chip Michalove, tagged the shark with an acoustic tracking device and took a DNA sample before letting her go, according to a post on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1096054073749895&id=112636748758304).

"We weren't exactly sure how big she was, initially, but after a 2 minute blistering run, she jumped completely out of the water, I wish I had a shot of that," Michalove wrote on Facebook.

"Oh man, it was unbelievable," Troy Bowman, a math teacher who had chartered the boat for a fishing expedition, told the the Post and Courier (http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20160310/PC16/160319958). "It was like you'd seen an elephant out there. So big."
