Well, it started back awhile ago. When the people that sailed the water did not want people to trade over the sea, they told settlers to not go near the water, for fear of being eaten by something or the big waters that tip and sink ships. Because of this, hardly anyone wanted to fish out into open seas. So, the sharks actually had a chance to grow their full body length. But, now, since so many people around the world are fishing and trapping, the sharks don't have a chance to reach that maximum length. Although, more than 90% of our oceans are unexplored.
