In Response To: Re: Paddle: Thresher Shark Encounter (Kaspar Abbo)

correction: It was a Blue Shark that visited my kayak, not a thresher. When I went to Wikipedia to read up on threshers, it was quickly clear that the beasty on my video wasn't a thresher.
the tail is definitely too short to be a thresher.

And based on my rudder gear it was at least 6' long.

I'll try to be more accurate next time. (ask for name, signed release....)
