Basking shark, that is. Still makes him look small.

Captain Linda Cavitt caught some footage of a 20-foot basking shark from the safety of the pier in Panama City Beach, Florida. Josh, the kayaker, was a bit closer.

Lol... I wouldn't even kow what the shark likes to eat. I consider myself good eating. I filled with all sorts of meat and spices.

I would of taken out my knife and prepared for the worst case scenario.

Basking sharks have a huge mouth and allow massive amounts of water pass through - they probably filter out krill and other small food.

Yep, filter feeders.

you woulda had your new blue XFactor up on plane with the jet evader on

From the kayaker's perpective I probably would have filled my undies, cause a sight like that, I wouldn't have thought to myself ... "huh, look at that perfect specimen of a Basking shark" rather..."holy $#!t, I am in deep
doo doo"...
Thanks for the video... "I think you need a bigger boat"
