Two fishermen spotted what appears to be a great white shark over the weekend in Volusia County, and they captured it all on video.

Devon DellaCava and his father were fishing off the coast of Ponce Inlet on Sunday when the large shark came within inches of their boat.

"It looks a little dangerous to me," said Cory Yoder, who was surfing in Ponce Inlet on Wednesday.

Capt. Tammy Marris, of Volusia County Beach Safety and Ocean Rescue, said great white sharks rarely come close to shore.

Volusia County is known as the shark bite capital of the world, but swimmers and surfers are usually bitten by sand or bull sharks. Serious injuries are rare, too.

Great white sharks are more dangerous, though.

"There's a ton of sharks out there, you know," Yoder said. "But this is a great white. That makes it a little different. I (am not) comfortable with that."

Marris added, "If we do have any kind of shark come close to shore, usually not that big. And if we do see them, we'll clear people out of the water in that area until the shark swims away."

Katharine, a great white shark that was tagged by OCEARCH.org, has been known to frequent the waters off the Flagler and Volusia coasts.

The shark spotted over the weekend didn't appear to be tagged.

Father and son who videotaped shark speak with News 13

The father and son who shot video of a great white shark off the Ponce Inlet Coast in Volusia County spoke to News 13 Thursday.

Gino and Devon DellaCava were fishing Sunday when they spotted a Great White shark circling their 50 foot boat coming within inches of the boat.

Gino, 42, shot the video of what he believes is a 14 foot, 2,000 pound great white, while his 18-year- old son and other friends looked on in amazement.

 

News 13 reached out to renowned shark expert, George Burgess who confirmed the shark the pair videotaped is indeed a great white.

Now the father and son have quite the fish tale to tell.

 “She circled the back of our boat, and I was able to grab my phone and start to record. And I recorded as she swam the other side of the boat and then swam away. So it actually circled your boat? It pretty much did, yeah," said Gino DellaCava

Both father and son do not believe the shark they spotted was tagged like other great whites which have been tagged by Oceasearch.

Now, shark expert Burgess, wants to talk to the DellaCavas to hear all about their discovery.
