Puts us right on the edge with the Great Whites eh. (And I meant this as a non racial remark... I'm surprised they haven't banned the Great Whites in SA all together...)

Would love to land one of those suckers with my rod & reel

Coelacanths were thought to be extinct for millions of years and were found to alive and well off the coast of South Africa during 1938. So far for fossils then
It may be possible these creatures lurks somewhere in the oceans and perhaps be responsible for some mysterious disappearances of smaller craft at sea.....
