Another Weird Sighting

Blue Oyster : Ditto - I also saw this in President Roads, just SW of Deer Island. We thought it was an injured shark - all we saw at first was a fin, a whitish belly and a large fish swimming sideways. Then we circled around and got a better look.

I had seen my first one years ago while out on a fishing charter.
It passed under the boat from the opposite side from me and emerged from under the boat right under where I was standing.

Saying this thing was huge would be an understatement. It was more that 1/3 the boat length in size (from fin to fin). When I saw the head, I realized what it was, and then when I realized how big it was I wish I had a camera!

They are a very unusual fish!
