Saw these pics on another forum, and found them very interesting. They were taken from an Oil platform.

Very, very cool, except the one of that dummy in that last shot.

lots of people swim with the whale sharks in the gulf. I'm too chicken. Here's the rest of the pics.

When the 40+ footer showed up off the pinellas reef a few weeks ago, he bought a dozen or so cobia with him..we landed a 22# and a 32#...

Lots of aerial pictures of them are shown with cobia around them...

Do you actually think that shark gave a crap who was taggin' along.....I think not....matter of fact he probably liked the attention, that's why he checked out the boat to begin with.

Like was said before, lots of people tag a ride with whale sharks.

I'm guessing that if he was too stressed, he would leave.

I've had em rub up on the side of the boat while looking at em. That shark probably didnt even know the guy was touching him. I've never had em really freak out and run when we get in the water with em.
Kinda hard to "stress out" a 40 fish. Sh*t they catch and put em in aquariums and they live.
Cool pics.

Yeah the poor ole giant 40 foot fish probably couldn't sleep that night, it's not like if it was bothered it could just swim off. I hope it survived the ordeal

It is funny how the "Libtardedness" comes out in people and makes them say things like this.

Poor little fishy

Here's one we rode on for two hours off Sarasota. I am quite certain it enjoyed it as much as all of us did.
