A windless day on the ocean this afternoon bought with it plenty of shark sightings. The big guy returned for the second day running; he truly is a massive white shark and definitely a mature male with HUGE claspers!! This shark must be close to 5 meters in length, we estimated his size at around 4.8 - 5m. He was a bit more lazy on today's trip, passed by the bait and decoy a few times before moving on and making one last pass a bit later in the trip. Other sharks of note were 'Fake Ball' and 'Crinkle Cut' who are both around the 3.2 m mark but a lot more active than there big brother!
