My dad was the one who cut it open when it was landed on shore

Jennifer Miller
Jason Mather my brother inlaw & partner caught him & bought him in. His Jaw lives at our house & he is named Mr Knuckles. 28 years ago on the 14th of June.

Jason Mather
I like the name Jennifer, how did ya's come up with that name for the jaws?

Jennifer Miller
Oops I meant the 21st of June. An old programme that had a tough guy called Mr Knuckles, he put up a good fight like the shark LOL.

That's the same one, right? Heck look at it.

Jason Mather
Laura Mills Detlaff, its not the 1st one though, if my memory is correct there was another Great White caught off the coast in the late 70's, dad is the one cutting this one up as well as cutting out the jaw, there were 3 seals inside it too & it weigh…

Jennifer Coleman
Wow you don’t know wots in the sea wot a monster

Colin Waterman
This was another one caught in the 80s, it's actually extremely rare to see or catch one so no they are not catching and killing them all. Set netting was mostly how and not many fishing that way now days.

The great white shark is now a protected species in NZ waters, apparently has been since about 2007

Deborah Sweetman
Remember that. Pretty sure Paul Botica was skippering the Venture then.
