Basking Shark Video Makes the News



Just got off the phone with my daughter who is getting lots of calls/emails from local/foreign news stations, marine biologists, etc asking permission to use video/pics that she took of the huge but harmless basking shark with her friend, Josh, in his 14 ft kayak on March 17, 2011, at the Panama City Beach pier.

This link is of a morning show today:

The following are photos she posted on a few fishing forums March 18, 2011:

“This was in Panama City Beach yesterday off our county pier, thought I'd share! Ryan took this first pic of Josh with a basking shark” - Captain Linda Cavitt
