I doubt a 12-15 foot great white like he saw is going to eat bluefish very often. I believe they typically eat porpoise, sea lions, whale calves, dead whales etc. I think chasing around small fish like blues and false albacore would be wasted energy. I am certainly not a marine biologist, but if adult sized great whites are hanging inshore they could be eating ocean sunfish and porpoise. I thought they typically liked cooler water, and once it got into the 70's they split.
