Season 3, Episode 7: Mega Jaws | Originally Aired on March 18, 2009
Sharks have terrified people for centuries and deep within the forbidding waters of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula may lurk a mammoth sixty foot monster. Could it be a new giant species or some living relic, hidden in the sea? In prehistoric times, huge carnivorous sharks, more than twice the size of a great white, ruled the waves. Marine experts claim these giants went extinct, but evidence may challenge that. Meanwhile, frightened Mexican fisherman talk of being stalked by a “Black Demon”; and sailors report close collisions with a shark unlike anything that they have encountered before. In a search for answers, MonsterQuest uses a combined air and sea search for this monster shark that may be prowling the last unexplored frontier of our planet.

Very Very Cool. I was part of the shoot and it turned out very cool. Having been there and seeing all of it tie in really puts this Monster Quest Team and producers in a Top of there field crew. As I look back on the challenges at hand belind the shoot and the resolve to put in whatever it took attitude really shows in this documentry. I just want to say it was an absolute pleasure working with and enjoing the Sea of Cortez with you. For more on Sea of Cortez- Nautitoo.
I’ve fished the Sea of Cortez many times. Is this episode filmed in the Loreto Area?
About 5 years ago we were fishing out of Rancho Buena Vista Hotel (Los Barrilles)and hit what we thought was a huge log in the water. When I looked out the back of the boat I saw a 3′ pectoral fin rolling over in the water. We figured it was a big Tiger Shark.
