“Insane.” “Look at this thing!” “Are you kidding me?” These are just a few of the phrases that the people aboard the Privateer exclaimed when they got a surprise visit from a massive whale shark off the coast of San Diego.
McGrory estimated the whale shark was about 25-feet long. According to John Hyde, Ph.D., with NOAA Fisheries, this size would be considered “subadult” or about half-way done growing. In general, whale sharks can be up to 40-feet long.
“I never leave the harbor thinking I’m going to see a whale shark, but that’s the beauty of the ocean,” said McGrory.
