ANGLER HOOKS 15 TON MEGALODON! - Real or Fake?

There are a lot of people out there who still think that epic shark know as the Megalodon still lives deep in the ocean somewhere.
In fact, a billschannel regular, Thomas Brown, sent me an news article that claims a 15 ton Megalodon was recently caught off the coast of Pakistan.
Now if this is true, that is truly epic news…. but is this story real? Or is it fake? That’s what Thomas wants to know.
Well Thomas, I did some looking around and all it took was few clicks to find the very first article posted about this. It was first published by World News Daily Report.
In the article, it states local fisherman hooked onto a 10.4 meter (or 34 foot) monster that weighed in at over 13 thousand kilograms or 30,000 pounds.
They thought it was a great white at first, but later decided it had to be something else since the biggest great white ever caught weighed in at only 2200 kilograms or 5000 Lbs
The article goes on to claim "Analysis of the creature suggests it might be a relative of the Megalodon."
OK, there is nobody who wants this story to be real more than me, but I have some very serious doubts about it.
For one, it is published by World News Daily Report - which If you click on the “disclaimer tab’ presents you with this:

"World News Daily Report is a news and political satire web publication... All news articles contained within are fiction, and presumably fake news."
Okay, now if that is not a smoking gun, I don’t know what is…My only hope of anything being true in this article is in that picture. It shows a huge shark. Bigger than anything I have ever seen!

I went over to TinEye and loaded up the picture to see where else it had been posted. A few clicks later, I found the original article the picture came from.
It was a REAL newspaper called The Witness - published in Durban South Africa.
And according to the article it wasn’t a Megalodon, it was a great white shark. ,
eremy Cliff, a shark researcher who works for the South Africa Government, confirmed it was real…
Geremy Cliff, a shark researcher who works for the South African Government, is quoted in the article. He says, the 4,3-meter (or 14 foot) shark was caught in the shark nets off Zinkwazi beach on August 31, 2009. It was dissected and confirmed to be a juvenile female that has not reached full maturity.
Thomas, I think we have reached the end of the road on this one. . Based on all the evidence I can find, the article claiming a megalodon has been caught in Pakistan is nothing but whopper of a fish tale.
(IT'S A FAKE)
And that my friends brings me to the question of the day…
Do you think Megalodons still live in the depths of the ocean somewhere? Or are they an extinct species of shark never to swim the oceans of planet earth ever again. Let me know what your answer is in the comment section below and I will see you next time!
