(Daniel Botelho / Barcroft Media / Barcroft Media) JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A massive great white shark pinged off the coast of Florida this week ahead of what is expected to be a very busy spring break at the beaches.

According to OCEARCH's Global Shark Tracker, great white shark Maple pinged on Monday morning southeast of St. George Island, Florida in the Gulf Of Mexico.

Maple measures 11-feet, 7 inches long and weighs in at 1,264 pounds.OCEARCH said "Over the past two seasons Maple has spent much of her winter in the Gulf of Mexico."Maple was named after the maple leaf, one of Canada’s national emblems.

The organization said Maple has a distinctive wound on the left side of her body, which the team believes is from an interaction with another larger white shark."It is not uncommon for sharks to show their dominance over a smaller animal of their species by delivering a significant but non-fatal bite."MORE NEWS: Watch: Fishermen spot sharks in huge feeding frenzy off Louisiana coastMeanwhile, great white shark Tancook pinged several miles east of Amelia Island on Tuesday just after 9:30 a.m.
