Just relaying what the PT Boaters said in the Solomons. Yes the average size is roughly 16fy, which is nothing to sneeze at, but a tiger caught in 1957 was said to be 24 ft. long, or there abouts. Yes they are rare, that big, but also, 70+ years ago, tigersharks weren't overfished either, so larger specimens were probably more abundant then too.
Reguardless though, the slightest bleeding wound, would bring the usual marine preditors around for a sample.
