Colleen Keenan, Campbell’s mother, recalled that initially, the experience was terrible.

“We had to keep him close. We had to ensure that he wouldn’t abandon the boat. He was strapped in, but not really, and had to hold on to the reel, “explained Campbell’s mother.

With the assistance of the commanders of the boats, Campbell sat and continued to struggle to reel it in. It was then identified as a great white shark.

Campbell’s mother said, “I was pleased for him because he loves fishing, and this is the best we could dream.”

The shark was a female great white, measuring 130 inches long and weighing about 450 pounds. The shark was then returned to the water.
