Hmm. That looks like a bonnet head shark. I was curious so I looked up specs on that shark. Not quite 12 feet.

Bonnetheads are the second smallest shark in the hammerhead family, averaging 30 to 48 inches long with a maximum reported total length of 59 inches. They can weigh up to 24 pounds

I think larbud has already admitted, after Ecuadog's response, that this was actually a joke. Look again at the OP: it never says "FEET". Or even "inches" for that matter...

That is a bonnet head shark, largest on record I believe it was 3 1/2’ long Florida State record is 20 Lbs, I seen 12’ long sharks, if it was a great hammerhead, yes they get that big. But not a bonnet head

You need something of known size in the photo to establish the length. Like your foot. In its mouth. (Laughing)
