Most people dont know this. I would say around 16' is a good estimate.

I Definetly believe you saw it though, there are alot more of them than people think.
From Smithsonian Shark Page:

SIZE
Great whites average 12-16 feet long (3.7-4.9 m) long. The biggest great white shark on record was 23 feet (7 m) long, weighing about 7,000 pounds (3200 kg). Females are larger than males, as with most sharks. Shark pups can be over 5 feet (1.5 m) long at birth.
