A Great White shark was spotted in Britain when a fisherman was doing his regular work on the coast of Cornwall when he saw a 14ft creature that looked like a great white beside his boat.

The fisherman, Nigel Hodge runs fishing and boat trips with his Cornish Fishing business quickly captured the scenes on his phone reported the Daily Mail.

'I was fishing on the starboard side and went to the port side to get the deck hose when I saw it,' said the fisherman.

David Turner, a shark specialist and author of The Shark Fisherman, said: 'If the fish was was 14ft long, it probably was a great white - it wouldn't be the first off Falmouth.'
