Did anyone see a big ass shark out there yesterday morning? I was roughly 1.5m sw of the pier in my kayak and had one id say 10 feet long come right up behind me. He was so close I thought he was going to bite my rudder off haha! I figured they're starting to fatten up for the winter and will probably be out in abundance now. I Was hoping to find out what type it was. Thanks

It showed up at the Pensacola Beach pier today around 3pm...at least 8 to 10 ft. long and when it surfaced it turned out to be a Tiger Shark...it hung around the pier for at least a couple of hours, leisurely swimming around the outer edges of a huge school of LYs that have taken up residence at the pier.

I've seen pictures and there are some big ones just a little way out from swimmers. If they only knew. C2
