Very cool fish. Also called an ocean sunfish. We see them often fishing near Cranes Beach.
Thanks, Stefano.

Saw it near Hull first time.
Saw it again last Wednesday near 3-1/2. A buddy called me from his boat to say he sees something wierd and a fin. I told him what it was and we were nearby. Sure enough it was the mola it went right under his boat.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

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!
