There was a basking shark sighted down off Wollaston Beach a number of years ago, and there was some idiot trying to snag it like he was hooking a real monster. The harbormaster pretty much told him to go home. It's a real treat to have water clean enough to have these "sea monsters" close enough to visually enjoy. I think it's rather funny (in a sad way) that people can't enjoy nature at it's finest and purest without trying to kill it.
It amazes me that people don't fully understand that our New England waters are chock full of interesting creatures, some that could be dangerous if not handled with care.
I fish in Duxbury Bay and I love to see the amazement on people's faces when I tell them that the water does have sharks, and that they could be swimming right along with you. Of course these people don't get the fact that the vast majority of sharks in our coastal waters are either fish eaters or scavengers. I really love fishing New England.
