Friend of mine was fishing the Midddle Ground and saw a dorsal fin with a tailabout 10 feet behind it sticking out of the water. He said the dorsal was "stubby" but the tail looked like a shark fin. Any idea what this could be?

No dorsal on whales...

Then what do you call that big finlike thing sticking out of their back?
