A 13-foot, 1,700-pound great white shark has been pinged off the coast near Myrtle Beach.

The shark, known as Mahone and named after Mahone Bay, was tagged near Nova Scotia in October, WPDE reported.

Since his tagging, he has traveled more than 2,300 miles, Ocearch said.

OCEARCH said he is the largest male shark they have tagged in Canadian waters.
