They guess a 20 plus GWS. Followed the kid around for a while. They are all playing freeze frame in the picture trying to get him to leave. Drive by landlords are common in this area.

I'm not calling BS, just interesting that a 20' shark didn't disturb the water at all.

This is off a report on the Norcal Board. These are well known longtime yakfishers up north. Not the type to BS. Polygamist Al and I had a similar experience in the same area a couple years ago.

The pic was taken as the shark was going under, the fin was actually 3-4 feet tall earlier, sounds like they got a good ID, 12 feet from dorsal to snout, white on it's bottom. Big ass shark.

i thought they only followed the squid around?

the shark was playing freeze frame as well

However, there are some big predators in the ocean that probably see a kayak like one nice Rapala
