Was there ever a great white shark caught that was 37 ft long?

The whale shark, rhincodon typus, is the largest shark currently alive. They can grow to 12 metres, about twice the length of a great white. The largest shark ever is the megalodon, carcharocles megalodon, is now extinct; it is believed that they could grow to anywhere between 13 and 18 metres long (the largest accepted variations in estimate).
