Expedition Great White

Off the coast of Baja California, science and sport fishing join forces for an unprecedented research effort. Marine biologist Dr. Michael Domeier joins a team of world-class anglers and crew members, including actor Paul Walker ("Fast and Furious") who jumped in as a deckhand, to land one of the most challenging fish imaginable: the great white shark.

Unlike any other catch ever attempted, they'll lift an SUV-sized shark out of the water onto a platform, mount a long-lasting tracking tag by hand, take measurements and DNA samples while pumping water into the shark's mouth to keep it alive, and release it unharmed…all within minutes.
