Summary

A 22 foot shark, what at first was thought to be a Great White, has washed up on the beach at Will Rogers State Park. It apparently is a "basking" shark, which looks VERY similar to a Great White. This story is just happening so a postivie I.D. hasn't yet been made -- but as you can see from the video it is one BIG shark. Apparently the animal got caught in some gill netting and drowned. Authorities are trying to get a rope on the beast and tow it back out to sea.
