I stopped taking my shark rod out with me. That fish was three times as long as my boat. I didn't fancy annoying one, and we do get Great Whites here.

Mind you, being anchored in the middle of a pod of feeding Orca (just once) made me a little tense. I reeled in my tackle and sat low in the boat. They are small for a whale, but impressively big from a 15' boat.
And predators.

Feeding on Stingray, if anyone is interested. Stingray get to as big as a double bed.
